How do you make a bowling ball curve when throwing it down the lane?

To make a bowling ball curve when throwing it down the lane, you can apply spin to the ball by rotating your wrist as you release it. This spin creates a force called the Magnus effect, which causes the ball to curve towards the pins. Adjusting the angle and speed of your throw can also influence the amount of curve.

Why doesn't the force of a bowling ball always knock down every pin?

The force of a bowling ball is not always enough to knock down every pin because the distribution of force is not evenly spread across all the pins. The angle and speed at which the ball hits the pins, as well as the weight and shape of the ball, all play a role in determining how many pins will be knocked down.
