Most important factor in a bowling ball's reaction

This is only for the ball.  Obviously the person throwing it - revs, speed, axis rotation, tilt... have a big effect.

I am glad you are over here shapening up your knowledge. Cover is responsible for 50-70% of ball reaction depending on what school of knowledge you subscribe to.

Layout is around 7-15% and core is another 7-15% of your reaction. All the other variables are fairly minute.

Yes. After the bowler, and what he does with the ball, the COVER will have the most impact on reaction.

I'm not sharpening up my knowledge.  I'm proving the point you refused to acknowledge elsewhere.  Funny how all the industry experts say cover is more important than layout/core specs, but when it comes from someone else...

Cover is far and away the most important factor.

What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis?
