Bowling is an old game: its earliest forms were found to have existed in ancient Egypt, 7000 years ago. Even today this game looks very simple. But it is simple just on the outside.
Bowling is a sport where you need some basic strength skills and quite a lot of targeting. Your aim here usually is to hit pins – or other targets in different variations of this sport – with aim to knock them all over with the least number of attempts. For a layman, the entire mechanics may seem not too sophisticated compared to some other types of competitions.
However, thousands of years in the history of this sport did not pass in vain. Now, the results of this game often boil down to heavy mathematics and physics. Of course, physical skill is still crucially important, as well as some luck is also nice to have. But in order to become a pro, you also need to know what’s inside of the bowling ball, how it is manufactured, to get a grasp on the throw dynamics, choose the right point and angle to hit at, and also evaluate many other important and often unnoticeable factors.
