Bowling Balls Pins
[phpzon]bowling, 30, SportingGoods[/phpzon] Whats an average speed of a ten pin bowling ball?Just been wondering!, when the ball hits the pins, from a decent bowler, just how fast is the ball moving?.. also, is there any mathmatical formula to work out expected pinfall, given angle of ball entry to pindeck, and speed of ball, does spin on the ball impart onto pins, and affect pinfall?...
The average speed of an accomplished bowler is around 16 mph as it leaves the bowler's hand. As it nears the pins the ball may slow to 14 or 15 mph. The ideal entry angle to the 1-3 pocket is 6 degrees. If there is a mathematical formula for to predict pinfall I have not seen it yet.
