say the baseball weighs 0.300 kg and the bowling ball weighs 4.00 kg
and the velocity of the baseball is 20.0 ms^1

baseball momentum=mv=0.3×20=6kgms^-1

bowling ball momentum=6=mv=4v
v=1.5 ms^1 not very fast

now let’s do that with KE

KE baseball=0.5mv^2=0.5×0.3×20^2=60 Joules

KE bowlingball=0.5x4xm^2=60 Joules
v=5.477 ms^1 (this is almost 20 kmh^-1)

Same momentum: mv = MV => bowling ball speed is much less than baseball since it’s much heavier.
and KE of bowling ball=0.5MV^2 = 0.5mvV is smaller compared to KE of baseball 0.5mv^2.

Same KE: 0.5mv^2=0.5MV^2 => bowling ball speed of much less than baseball speed.
BUT momentum of bowling ball=MV=sqrt(Mn)v is much larger compared to mometum of baseball mv.

Hence choose same momentum since it’ll have less KE.

momentum is MV, KE is MV^2

All I do is make sure my hand is beneath the ball and driving through when releasing it. That reduces spin and makes for a consistent roll when approaching the 1-3 pocket. Only thing is that you practice in order to strengthen your wrist or you can wear a bowling glove under a wrister glove to provide additional support. I’m nearly back to the performance and average I had when bowling professionally back in the day.

Since I started bowling, I utilized Brunswick/Quantum/Revolution/Elite products (all are manufactured by Brunswick) so that I got familiar with reactions of their equipment. I’m still using that product because my game may get thrown off trying to learn how other manufacturers’ equipment performs. Try using the same equipment you used back then, and ask your pro shop if there are bowling balls similar to what you threw before you stopped.

Good luck!
