Brunswick Bowling "Tigris" - Not a Traditional Choice
With two orange stripes and riveted eyelets, the sporty "Tigris" looks quite like an athletic shoe. Man-made uppers, padded tongue and collar, and microfiber slide soles on both shoes are the tech specs. The fashion specs are: also available in delicious lime green.

Pine is a softwood with straight grains, a uniform texture and is white or pale yellow in color that darkens to a deep orange shade with age. Pine trees grow in North America from British Columbia to California and Utah. The western white pine, one of over 100 species of pine, was discovered and named by explorer David Douglas in 1831. Pine is one of the favorite woods used by carpenters because it’s easy to work with, either hand or power tools, resists shrinkage, is reasonably strong (but not as strong as hardwoods) and resists decay. According to Ruth Midgley, author of the definitive sports guide, “The Rule Book,” (Griffin, April 1987) pine boards make up the mid-lane area of bowling alleys. She says, “The first 12 feet of all wooden lanes is made of maple, the next 46 feet is made of pine and the pin deck is made of maple."
How Bowling Balls are Made
Between the early 1800s and the early 1990s, most bowling balls were made of three-piece construction. A small amount of dense material was poured into spherical core mold to create a pancake-like core. Then the remainder of the core mold was filled with a less-dense core material. Finally, the core was centered in a mold and a layer about 1 in (2.54 cm) thick of coverstock was poured around it. Since being pioneered by manufacturer Faball Inc. in the early 1990s, a two-piece construction method has become more popular.
Making the core
1 For the particular model of ball being manufactured, a mold is formed to the core shape developed during the computerized design process. The appropriate material is poured into the core mold and allowed to harden. The solid core is removed from its mold.
2 A second step may be necessary to finish the core. For example, some ceramic cores are fired in a kiln. A compound core may be formed by inserting the first core into a second mold and pouring material of a different density around all or part of it.
Forming the shell
3 The finished core is placed inside a spherical mold called the coverstock
Some examples of bowling bowl core shapes are lightbulb, spherical, and elliptical. Combination cores are made by enclosing a core of one shape and density within a second core of another shape and density. The main core may be supplemented by adding a collar or weight block to the core or by embedding small counterweights separately in the interior of the ball

Combination cores are made by enclosing a core of one shape and density within a second core of another shape and density. The main core may be supplemented by adding a collar or weight block to the core or by embedding small counterweights separately in the interior of the ball
mold. The core is attached to a pin that projects inward from the shell of the mold. The pin holds the core in the correct position. If the pin points toward the center of the mold, the core is said to be pin in; if it is tilted away from the center, the core is pin out.
4 The coverstock material is poured into the mold, encasing the core, and is allowed to harden. The thickness of the coverstock may be as little as 1 in (2.54 cm) or as much as 2 in (5.08 cm), depending on the design of the particular ball.
Filling the gaps
5 When the ball is removed from the coverstock mold, there is a hole where the core-holding pin had been. A plastic dowel is inserted into the hole and cemented in place. The pin is a different color than the coverstock. After the ball has been purchased, the pin will be used as a guide for positioning the finger holes to take advantage of the core design.
6 Fill material is added to the logo imprint that was molded into the ball. This may be the same color as the pin, or it may be a different color. The logo is located at the top of the ball, that is, above its center of gravity.
Finishing
7 The ball is finished to the proper size specification by turning it on a lathe and shaving off enough coverstock to achieve the right shape or it may be done on a centerless grinder that scours the ball into the desired size and roundness.
8 Finally, the surface of the ball is finished to the desired texture. It is sanded to either a matte finish or to an appropriate degree of polish, indicated by the roughness of the sanding material (generally ranging from 240-600 grit).
9 The ball is boxed and shipped to the company's distributor.

Bowling Pin Shape
Bowling originated in Europe where it was called keggling. It came to the United States with early immigrants. The earliest bowling pins were made of maple and were smaller than the pins of today, similar in size to the current candlepins. These pins were cylindrical, much like a rolling pin. Early American bowlers began, probably for a little variety, to turn the pins on their lathes. It became obvious that this new shape could improve pin action, the very desirable effect of one pin knocking down another. This was studied and some standardized dimensions resulted. The majority of the weight of the pin was to be in the belly or the widest part of the pin. The belly was to be the same height off the lane as the maximum circumference of the bowling ball. Some weight in the head of the pin improved the spinning of fallen pins creating better scores. From that evolving process came the very regulated product today. Pins are 15 inches high and 15 inches around at the belly. Regulation pins weigh between 3 pounds 6 ounces and 3 pounds 10 ounces, with the PBA pros using the heaviest pins. The pins are still made of maple though they are laminated. Four smaller pieces of maple are affixed to a larger central plank which has two holes or voids drilled in the area which will become the belly. This allows for better control of the weight of the pin. The pin is turned to size on a lathe and a plastic collar is attached to the base. The pin is then coated with a protective plastic covering. Very rigorous quality control is part of the release process for new pins. Since 1962 there have been 40-50 proposed modification but none has passed the performance criteria. In 1999 after three decades of research a new, all synthetic pin called the Twister was approved for use. It will debut at the 2001 ABC tournament in Reno, Nevada. Look for it; it may soon appear in your local bowling house but it probably won't make the 7-10 split any easier to pick up!
