The Strike Equation: How Physics and Friction Unlock Bowling’s Perfect Shot
A team of researchers from top universities has developed a groundbreaking mathematical model that could change how bowling is played and analyzed. Unlike previous methods that relied on player stats, this model factors in lane oil patterns, friction, and even ball asymmetry to pinpoint optimal strike conditions. It not only simulates ball trajectories using advanced [...]
A bowling revolution: Modeling the perfect conditions for a strike
With millions of dollars at stake across tournaments and more than 45 million regular annual participants, bowling continues to reign as a top sport in the U.S. A unified model that predicts how a bowling ball behaves down the lane, however, remains elusive.
