4:55 That’s the most emotion I’ve ever heard expressed by a how it’s made presenter
It was actually quite nice. Especially the slight joking at the last bit 4:56. 🙂👍👍
Kind of remind me how Spongebob rammed into the French announcer in that one boating episode.
The fact that this giant factory that has tons of specifically designed machines and advanced technology to make these things uses BINDER CLIPS to hold the mold closed 😂 truly a testament to the monster clamping power of those things

PRODUCER: okay, we need some music for this segment about making bowling balls
COMPOSER (secretly hates bowling balls): no problem
That fuckig piano
I love this comment
help i cant stop laughing omg
for real wtf is this music lmao
This is a bop wym
Was anybody else bummed out because they didn't show the holes being drilled.
Holes are drilled out at your bowling shop of choice using your hand and finger measurements.
Sounds about right. Thanks for the info.
No, because drilling holes are not part of making a bowing ball.
I was bummed.
No. Are you bored too?
I never knew these balls were made like that... It's striking
Edit: I'm impressed this blew up! I had notifs off for a year, so until a few months ago I wasn't getting notifs. Thanks everyone
I think I can spare you a like
@@sriramg5334 well that kind of generosity is right up my alley
Puns😏
These puns are splitting my brain.
Chill with the bowling puns y’all... 😂😂😂
I remember my late Grandma Phyllis taking me to her local bowling alley to get me a fitted bowling ball. Not sure how my hand size compared to back then, as I wasn’t finished growing up yet and all that, but I can still use it last I bowled with it.
Grandma Phyllis bowled a perfect game at 16, if I remember correctly. The bowling alley people gave her a ring with a little diamond in it to congratulate her. This was back in the mid-1940s I think, if that helps give perspective.
What a lovely story. So nice that Granny Phyllis has touch your life and left lasting memories.

Still cant imagine having a job that dull and boring, but i highly appreciate the people doing their job everyday
especially for 10+ years. i would have ended it all before then.
Easy job, easy money.. doesn’t matter if it’s boring because money is money 🚶🏽♂️
@@omescudii5015 I've had a boring job once in my life. I quit after 3 months because I couldn't bare it any longer. Being bored is the worst feeling
they have balls
A jobs a job.
One of my favorite series from the Sci-Fi/Discovery network of channels. I've never thought about Bowling Balls like this but I am glad to see how they are made. (:
The name of that factory was Ebonite International. It was located in Kentucky, USA. The largest producer of bowling balls in the world at one time. It was closed 2 years ago and moved to Mexico after being bought out by Brunswick. A lot of hard working Americans lost their job. Interesting fact, some of the people you saw performing those task have been doing that same exact job for 40 plus years. Had several employees hit the 50 year anniversary mark. It was a unique place.
storm balls are still made in america I believe
Hopkinsville is the name of the town, I used to pass that factory on the way to school. They weren't the biggest factory in town, and they certainly weren't the biggest employer. But they were a point of pride. The way they treated their employees was excellent. People who worked for Ebonite had great careers and made good money. A little piece of our city died when Brunswick shut them down. Our home is a factory town surrounded by farms. Weve lost a lot of jobs to foreign factories. But Ebonite was proud to stay and pay American workers a good wage with benefits. Brunswick bought them purely to own the competition.
I toured that manufacturing plant in March 2019 shortly after moving to beginning my military service at Fort Campbell. I was going to coordinate with my best friend to bring him and his wife to tour the plant with me when I saw the news that it closed down.
Who knew the world needed this many new bowling balls every day.
Sadly I’m the poor soul keeping their business going I buy a new one like every two weeks💀
“Move the camera for goodness sake!😡😡😡” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That moment the camera man isn't paying attention.
@@Darkness_56526 lol
@@akari_rose_or_kit this is a documentary almost like on tv that's why they don't move
@@jasonlives86 ik I was just being funny
That freakout by the narrator at the very last second was the best part of the video
*BOWLING BALLS | How it's made*
Me at 2 am: *Well Well Well let's find out*
3:25 am..... just finished watching it!!!
When I was a kid, I thought there was lava inside.Really dont know why.
Me too! What`s the heck ikr!?
Nacohenh Cohen holy crap me too 😂
I was aware of the core of the bowling ball, I always thought the core was hollow and it was filled with water.
It'd be cool to have a liquid layer with colored oils, but that would damper spin rates
@@Pip-Boy-Broadcast Ook 9o tv er ex ex exk
2:16 the piano starts going off. The greatest "How It's made" on bowling balls, of all time.
So, ignoring the fact I've watched enough of these to notice this, but, does anyone else that has been just getting these recommended over and over again realize how the video with bowling balls, all the workers got gloves on, but all the ones about food they almost never have gloves on?
Gloves are worn to protect the workers hand, far better to wash hands regularly in the food industry than wear gloves.
James Gillespie you still have to wash your hands before putting gloves on in food services
"Watch the lense- watch the lense!-
OH for goodness sake-!"
😂😂😂
Ah yes, the best way to ensure the solution won't link is a binder clip
I forge steel tools and swords as a hobby. I can testify to the effectiveness of binder clips, because I use flimsy duck tape.
One of those essential shop items, like duct tape and zip ties.
Binder clips are underrated as clamps
If it didn't work they wouldn't use it but yes it is a bit maverick to use in a factory.

Anyone else having a how it’s made marathon because you have no life?
A Person yes literally already watched 5 videos
How did you know...
MEEE
Nah I'm just stupid and I need to know stuff
bored at work -shrug-
Why did I think the bowling ball on the thumbnail was some kind of new discovered planet....😅
Ikr
@@eniarol4191 *Bill Nye wants to know your location*
With proper lighting, you can make a bowling ball look like a new planet for a video or just to fool people
Influenced easily by clickbait?
Recreational reasons
"Watch the lens watch the ones. Move the camera for goodness sake" I love it
Whenever I see a bowling ball, Tom and Jerry will forever be in my heart.
Why
@@Simply_nyashia Why? Tom and Jerry had quite a few gags with bowling balls involved.
Perhaps Tom could tell us what was inside the black bowling ball he usually gets hit with.
“ Watch the lenses! Watch the lenses!”
Haha
Move the camera for goodness sakes!
Spare the camera!
:-)
Watched this yesterday. Fell asleep and gotta watch it again 😜
Incredible. Always wondered about how the did this. Things of beauty!🤩
*Bowling ball rolling to the camera*
Watch the lens.. WATCH THE LENS!! Move the camera For goodness sake..

Hilarious
Thanks for making me fall asleep peacefully to this video at work.. my supervisor caught me haha
Out of all the how it's made video's, this is the best in my opinion, that was awesome to see how bowling balls are made.
Probably the best video I seen on bowling balls.
when the cores are being made:
my brain: eat it
me: no
my brain: *did i stutter?*
“Watch the lens!! Watch the lens!!! Move the camera!! For goodness!!!!!”🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀
The last part got me laughing lol

@T.J. Anthony Lynn Herzeg had a lot of bad reviews, but June Wallack from season 5 was the best narrator
we need an episode showing how an episode of How It's Made is made, showing the filming, the editing process, Tony Hirst narrating himself narrating the episode etc
Those workers were tossing bowling balls around like they were nothing- impressive!
I was thinking that they must really build up their muscles doing that work....... they made it look easy to pick those up😳!
Me: *Drinks all the chocolate milk*
Everyone else at the Bowling Ball factory: 0_0
I request this so many times, glad to see a video on it!!!!
Day: ??? Of quarantine
I've now been binge watching how random objects and food are made. TH-cam recommendation strikes again 😂
4:49 "With this bowling ball in hand, success should be within striking distance"
*proceeds to get 4 gutters in a row with said bowling ball*
He said it was within distance, not that it was a certainty ;)
4:55 Watch the lens! Watch the lens! Move the camera for goodness sake!
Something tells me I need to get you some lessons.
Me at 10pm: ima sleep
Me at 3am: how bowling balls are made
Can't wait to tell my friend how a bowling ball is made.
4:38 IDK why that plunger thing is so satisfying. It's like it's out of a cartoon.
The bowling ball. The balling bowl. The bowling stone has undergone a lot of pins to become the bowling bee. From a crude wood, to carved polyester, to mold. The molding ball has been reinvented numerous times, but the latest version, the bowling bean, has turned out to be a realwiwlaer a
I had a stronk reading this
@@willmungas8964 me you as did
This comment is a disaster and so is the comment section 🤦🏻♀️😂
th-cam.com/users/clipUgkxP8TuBLRzuBJaijsl4QCJW3Kip8ECQ9Bl for anyone who needs context
and this is another video that 'rolled' into my reccomendations
It's truly amazing that these balls are still made in the U.S.A.
The factory shown in this video has since closed down and relocated to Mexico
Glad I was able to 'spare' a moment to watch this 😉
I used to have a Red Hammer bowling ball, neat to see one being made. :)
The funny thing is that this wasn't on my recommendation at 3 am, I've searched for it
With the polymer it looks like a jawbreaker from ed edd n eddy
Haha
Does it cost $0.25?
I would love the job at 2:23, it's so satisfying!
I wish they would have talked about the different kinds of cores more and how they affect different styles of bowling and different types of shots considering the oil pattern on the lane
The series is called “How It’s Made”, which is what they showed. An in-depth discussion on bowling styles, types of shots, and the impact of a lane’s oil pattern is “why” certain engineering choices were made and “why” they are designed the way they are, not “how” they are made.
I love the use of regular binder clips 😂
I watched this in class I think that stuff is so so cool
Niko! It's your Cousin, Let's go Bowling!
And afterwards we'll go get drunk and go a-rock-a-rolling!
Cousin, it's your cousin. Let's get a Bleeder Burger,
to wash away the taste of all that carnage, crime, and murder.
how 726 people disliked a video about how bowling balls are made is beyond me
" Watch the lens Watch the lens, move the the camera for goodness sake" 4:55
This is great, life is great now that I know how bowling balls are made
What the heck was that ending? 'Watch the lense, watch the lense! Move the camera for goodness sake!' 😂
you really feel like you live in a small town when bowling balls are made like this and the closest bowling place to my place still uses the same old wood produced balls they've had since the 90's
Wow that’s cool
@@GregoryCrazyAdventures : the impact on those workers must have been rough for awhile.
How much the bowling ball has evolved. Fred Flintstone would be happy to have today’s bowling balls. Lol
Twitter has changed how I see bowling forever😭
Hows it made series is one of my childhood greatest memories ❤❤
I once knew a mechanic who sold his house and all his stuff to invest in a Bowling Alley.
Man, that takes a lot of balls! Being mechanically skilled, he often worked on the pin setting machines himself, they were right up his alley!
Boo! Get off the stage!
Stop it with the bowling puns, that's one strike too many!
@@nataleeisjustchilling2737 O.k., I will spare you from any more puns!
"The mold is then pumped full of a special white liquid. Oh, you know what I'm talking about~. It's a special fluid that Mommys and Daddys create things with... It's liquid plastic. What did you think I was talking about? Anyway, the molds full of industrial strength jizz-" Huggbees, 2021
2:22 There is only one way to remove the core from the mold: with Slam Jams.
BOOM SHAKALAKA!
Finally, I found one

Video: "This is how bowling balls are made"
Audio: *_*Pianist having a stroke*_*
Neat! Pretty cool to see how these are crafted buy who else is from "wow, it's made!"
How’s it melatonin Baby this show is helping me fall asleep
Watching this before sleeping.
everyones talking about the weird inside of the ball but im out here wondering who let satan pick the background music
*sour piano sounds*
The factory employees trying to stop me from drinking the forbidden chocolate drink
I remember the local K-mart back in the day used to have a whole apparatus to measure and gauge finger holes. The would drill them in house, which means the balls arrived without holes.
Now that you mention it I do remember some stores having the finger hole guide in the sporting good section. Today because of the off center core it takes a skilled professional to drill a ball.
@@LukeL007 I wonder what happens to the ones where they were drilled incorrectly.
I'm going to watch this video, find it interesting while watching it, forget everything tommorow, and it'll just be another random youtube video of the 10,000s I've seen in my 28 year alive. Take that for what it is
This is an interesting video, and it makes me miss going bowling. Also, those are cool looking balls in the beginning.
Yeah, there was a sort of golden/yellow one down in the right hand bottom corner, that would be the one I'd have...
I never realized humanity was in desperate need of this many bowling balls.
Of course... One can never have too many bowling balls... ;)
According to Ask Google, there are 12,000 bowling centers worldwide, so there are need for hundreds of thousands of bowling balls for them as well as those for the avid bowler who prefers their own spheres.
Looks like they make a ton of balls, meanwhile my two local alleys have balls that are like 20 years old 😂
Hose balls are extremely basic so since they aren't designed for performance, they are able to last forever.
So much better than the other narrators...
I don’t know if anyone noticed this but the piano is out of tune
RPGEnderlord it’s probably on purpose, I hated playing pieces like this in band
It is driving me insane.
hehe the fact that you noticed that makes you cool
This video was recommended after watching how hard candies are made, so my brain thinks bowling balls looks sweet and delicious. Lmao
Cooooool!
Why am I here I was watching old Batman clips and now I’m subtly learning about a bowling ball yeah that’s you tube for ya
It's got a creamy nougat center!
the end though 😂
Ah the puns are killing me.
Yeah it really strikes you know
Spare me the complaining...
Watch the lens
@@coordinator3039 no
the origins of a certain bowling ball gif
How are the finger holes drilled?
I was disappointed we didn't get to see all the way to the finished product.. I was curious about that!
That is usually done at the bowling shop which usually is in the bowling alley or a special shop. You have to get measured for it and any adjustments to be made. At least that is my experience.
LOL!
by a drill?
With a drill
It's nice to see they use those industrial binder clips for hold the molds together.
White liquid is pumped into the molds, it's what mommies and daddies use to make stuff with..it's liquid plastic. Anyway *the industrial strength jizz*-
This is so cool. Can you now show us how the bowling bean is made?
Hi
(Sorry for my good English)
COOL VIDEO!! Thanks for the day info!!
Very unusual how stone vases were turned into bowling balls.
i have school tomorrow but im watching this. im so tired. 🏄♂️
“what do you do for a living?”
*I work at n a bowling ball making factory!*
LOL
Not funny cause the weight of the bowling ball is heavy and they have to lift the CENTER and I bet you use a 6 lb ball
Do a segment on bowling pins next =)
2:23 AHHHHH BOMBS 💣
“So what do you work for?”
“Oh I make bowling balls”
