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
In: Physics
well, a few factors. For one they are trying to get “around” the batsman, which naturally requires some degree of subterfuge to get past someone literally watching and waiting for you to try. A curved path, especially one that changes curvature for some reason, is much harder to predict and intercept than full power straight down the middle. They also want to tempt the batsman into swinging and getting a suboptimal strike that forces them to run but doesn’t give them much time.
