Challenge

Advance bowling ball core research to develop performance bowling balls that provide a range of actions to support varying lane conditions.

Solution

Implement SOLIDWORKS Standard 3D design software.

Results

  • Innovated greater action performance bowling balls
  • Realized ability to map dynamics on bowling ball cores
  • Introduced edgier DV8 brand of performance bowling balls
  • Developed variety of core designs to match all lane conditions

With SOLIDWORKS, I can clearly visualize the core design and use mass properties to maintain the integrity of design dynamics while changing the densities of the inner and outer cores to achieve the desired performance.
