I had a lady on my last summer league's team that averaged about 95. She threw a 10 pound ball. Due to past leg surgery, she couldn't use an approach and had to stop at the line, wind up, and throw.
Her ball was so light, it bounced off the pins. Pocket hits were bad. Almost always a split. It was the shots that missed that toppled the pins in odd ways to get those rare strikes.
It got me thinking one day.. Is it possible to create a ball that weighs 10 pounds in the hand, but at the first contact with a hard surface, becomes 16 pounds? Is it scientifically possible with today's technology? Could it revert back to 10 pounds?
If it was possible, would it be certifiably legal?
Food for thought. Get crackin, scientists.
