Aside from being one of the most accessible (and best!) sports out there, many aspects of bowling can be expressed with physics. Achieving maximum power, throwing a hook ball, and getting good pin action can all be broken down into physics issues and represented with equations. On this web page, I will cover four aspects of bowling that can be explained with physics terms and show you how to use this knowledge to optimize your game. |
