At brunswick the unique core shape of each individual ball is used for weights from 12 to 16 pounds.
Light bulb core bowling ball.
Other core designs will produce somewhat different results in ball reaction capabilities.
The traditional light bulb core shape delivers outstanding ball motion and impressive pin action for more strikes and higher scores.
Many balls have had light bulb and mushroom esq cores that were great bowling balls.
A bowling ball core with an axisymmetric geometry is one that can be created by revolving a two dimensional profile about a central axis.
As an example when bowling ball core designs include a shape which places mass in specific areas near the center of the ball and also places mass to the top of the ball the overall ball motion will become one which promotes early roll to fight front end excessive oil coupled with a strong back end reaction from the break point to the pocket.
The asymmetrical core isn t like any other core that you can find on most balls.
This ball tends to be very predictable and easy to control thanks to the inverted light bulb shape of the core.
The rhino can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for symmetric bowling balls.
It s earned its sterling reputation.
Many are just a bit more elongated.
The brunswick rhino is excellent for beginners and pros but its target market in the bowling environment is more advanced players.
The other non axis symmetric core has a more complex geometry but mathematically falls into this class due to its primary mass moments of inertia.
Some balls have an overlap of non axis symmetric and axis symmetric features.
One popular example of an axisymmetric core shape is the famous light bulb core that has been popular now for many years.
Many newer cores haven t gone that far away from the idea.
When you really look at core and the general shape they are still bulbs and modified bulbs to get the best reaction with todays covers.
Another cool thing about this bowling ball is its core.
It has what s known as a gas mask core which allows you more control of the ball while giving you the opportunity to make wicked hooks through the pins.
Its gas mask core is one of the most beloved and powerful bowling ball cores out there.
It rolls smoothly and evenly down the lane easily picking up speed as it goes.
The light bulb weight block has become a common type of this core shape which has gained the toehold in the bowling world.
