Hooper has been studying the physics of bowling for several years, including an analysis of the 2017 Weber Cup, as well as ...

Bowling’s elusive perfect strike may no longer be a matter of intuition ... rigid bodies—can be used to simulate a bowling ball’s trajectory with exceptional precision.

Employing a system of six differential equations derived from Euler's equations for a rotating rigid body, their model creates a plot that shows the best conditions for a strike. "The simulation ...
