Coverstock refers to the outer layer of a Bowling ball and significantly affects its performance. The main types of coverstock are polyester, urethane, and reactive resin. Polyester is durable and ideal for beginners, offering minimal hook potential. Urethane provides more hook potential and control, while reactive resin offers maximum hook and performance, making it suitable for advanced bowlers seeking a strong reaction on the lane.

How can a reactive resin bowling ball give you a high score?

Assuming you're already a decent bowler who can hit the pocket consistently, a reactive resin ball can give you a better angle into the pocket than a plastic or hard rubber ball. It accomplishes this by sliding down the lane while friction heats up the reactive resin coverstock, then hooking hard when the the ball "grabs" the lane. This results in a sharper angle into the pocket than non-reactive balls. This phenomenon is further enhanced by the shape of the heavy "core" of the bowling ball and the position of the finger holes relative to this core. This improvement in coverstock and core technology provides a greater benefit to better bowlers. A $250 bowling ball will not make a 120-average bowler into a 180-average bowler, but a 180-average bowler can improve their average noticeably with a properly fitted and drilled ball chosen to complement their normal shot and lane conditions.


Why would one bowling ball move different then another one of the same size?

Bowling balls can have different weight distributions, which can affect their motion. The density of the core, coverstock material, and surface texture can also impact how the ball interacts with the lane conditions. Additionally, the drilling layout and finger/thumb hole positions can influence the ball's path down the lane.

What is the purpose of the bowling ball being made of plastic?

A plastic coverstock on a bowling ball helps when you need to convert particular spares, or when the lanes get incredibly dry. Since the plastic coverstock on plastic bowling balls is hard and non-porous, on most lane conditions, it's not going to hook very much. An example spare to be picked up is the 10-pin (for righties). Using a reactive resin bowling ball isn't always the best idea. If you hook the reactive resin bowling ball at the 10, odds are that you're probably going to throw it into the gutter because of the angle you're creating, or the ball it going to hook right past the 10. With plastic, no matter how many revolutions you put on the ball, most of the time the plastic ball isn't going to hook, so you can throw directly at the 10 with 600RPM and the ball won't hook all that much away from the 10 (on dry lanes, it's a completely different story).
