Why do bowlers curve the ball?

237 viewsOtherPhysics

It looks cool and it seems like everyone who is actually good at bowling will make the ball spin and curve.. My question is why?

Again, I’m not good at bowling but why aren’t people just smashing it in the middle? If you’re gonna dedicate countless of hours to practicing, why not master the most consistent type of throw? Is there some physics aspect that makes the pins go down easier when hit by a ball that has a sideway rotation
