Having seen most of these in person made this even more satisfying, being at the education center was one of the coolest experiences, can't wait to go back
Great video. I just watched a video on how bowling balls are manufactured in a small China factory. It was interesting on the number of cores in a ball. I never knew they made them like that. Now I understand that makes a difference on how the balls perform. I don't understand the physics, but assume it has depends on mass, weight, location of the holes and speed. Thanks for the great presentation on the different balls you displayed and discussed.
feel like i keep going back and forth with myself on this question but what makes a ball stronger. What core numbers am I looking for when I am looking for a stronger ball and number for a weaker ball?
Hey there I actually shoot with a 12 pound ball. I've had shoulder surgery, back surgery and bicep surgery. On top of all that, I only bowl with 2 fingers in the ball " i don'tuse finger tips in my ball". You stated the lower the RG hooks better. The third ball that you spoke of with the center weight with a top weight. Would that be the best ball for me to have, to have a better curve. Right now I shoot with a Cuda solid solid.
Awesome video! Great to see the coverstock differences and that's making me consider a Hy-Road again! I was thinking of getting 2 balls (I prefer long, angular motions that can be well manipulated by my angle of release and Rev rate) so I was kind of settled on the Black Widow Ghost and a Brunswick Rhino, but the hy-road was my 3rd option, although I'm not sure if it's long or angular enough. My favorite balls were an Ebonite Tornado, Brunswick Slingshot and the old Tropical Storm, but I'm having a HARD time replacing that predictable yet variable motion that I'm used to with these newer balls. Any advice? I bowl about 17mph and I tend to have a hard time getting balls down the lane far enough (softer arching/more reactive balls like the Tropical Surge) or trouble modifying the angle is a problem I had with the Hammer Raw. I found I could modify the angle of a black widow easier than the Raw, which I know sounds crazy. Any advice is appreciated!
the resin is the expensive part of the bowling ball. I'm sure there would be someone who would pay $1,000 for a bowling ball if it gives them an advantage but I double there would be enough sales to justify production. Also that is a LOT of fossil fuel / pollution just for a bowling ball if you did not use ceramics as a core
@@BassRacerx hyroad is all coverstock with a regular core in it. It's a $140 ball. You 2ould most likely have to put a bigger core inside to make it lower RG but expensive balls aren't new. Hell the Motiv Mythic Jackal is $220 online before drilling. Yea it would be more expensive but it shouldn't be a crazy ridiculous price. Brunswick did it with the re-release of the quantum and they were around the same price as the jackal just a bit higher RG.
I think most of the old visionary bowling balls were thick shelled with no filler, at least most of them? They had high and low rg stuff and lasted 4-ever
Personally all these different cores and crap just comes off as gimmicks. Got myself a polyester that can hook perfectly into the pocket without any of that core crap. No offense intended
That poor Optyx! I should check mine to see if it has cracked, as I haven't used it in about 10 years. I have another one NIB that still looks good as well.
Being a new bowler, it would be nice if you explained the physics behind the different cores.

Great video, very informative.
Ron is such a Boss. Simple and excellent explanations. Ty
I haven't been bowling in quite awhile, I use to love it. Just been looking up informational videos and this is probably the best "Core" video iv seen
This is one of the Best explanations ever... love how you make confusing things sound so much simpler!!
this explains a lot and make it easy to understand. I love the behind the lane when it comes to bowling.
Good Ole HyRoad. Probably one of the most used balls in history.
I would love to see a video that goes much more in depth with the science and reasoning behind each type of core
One of the best videos.
Awesome video thank you!

Interesting video thanks much
What was the 5 piece core ball called?
That ball was the Tidal Wave Wipeout
I had one of those. Crazy reaction back in the day!
The second to last core... was that from the original Matrix line?
feel like i keep going back and forth with myself on this question but what makes a ball stronger. What core numbers am I looking for when I am looking for a stronger ball and number for a weaker ball?
Brilliant!!!

9:45pm I’m a straight bowler. Which core is best for me??
What was the second to last dark blue ball?
Out of these three choices which core created better hook potential on a bowling ball: solid, two-piece, three-piece?
I was curious about how good pyramid paths saucer core is.
We don't recommend pyramid bowling balls
What were the 3 balls off to the right called
How is a low diff achieved but a high rg?
Make sure you are suscribed to the channel. We will have more explanation videos next week.
Is it possible to have a ball with a thick shell (no filler material) with a low RG? I'd say all the balls with thicker shells have higher RGs
It is possible
@@Ctdbowling would love to see one someday.

Im gonna stick to quantum theory 😂
You are using core to describe weight blocks. Slight difference but there is a difference.
How is this not cheating to put something in the ball to make it curve. 😅
