24.85mph by Australia bowler Alan Patterson at Hillwood Strike and Spare

I don't know the fastest ball speed in the world, but I can assure you it's not 24.85. I bowl at Sunset Lanes in Richmond, VA, and a bowler on our league throws 26 mph every frame, for three games. The fastest I have seen him roll one is 28 mph. For the record, the ball is 16 lbs and his average is in the 130s, because with that much speed it's hard to also be accurate.

Osku Palermaa, a pro two-handed bowler, has a wicked fast one-handed spare ball. Usually when downing particular spares, like the 10, 6-10, 6, 3-6-10, and most splits, he throws it one-handed. His one-handed shot on average is about 27-28 MPH, not too far away from his 22MPH average strike ball. His fastest on television is, if I'm correct, about 32 MPH at the 2004 US Open, but on his website (oskupalermaa.fi) he claims that his fastest recorded is about 35 MPH. He has one of the strongest, if not the strongest, spare ball in the world, so I'm sure not many will be able to surpass that. Other pros who use fast spare balls include Robert Smith (capable of throwing it as fast as Osku), Eugene McCune (he throws it about 25 MPH as an all-round average, but capable of surpassing 30), and Sean Rash (capable of 30 MPH).

Fastest speed recorded for bowling ball?

There isn't a speed gun used for bowling. There are two light sensors that either are placed about 10-15 feet in front of the lane or in the pin deck area. The ball speed is determined calculating the time between when each sensor has been tripped.


Compare the speed of a moving golf ball with the speed of a moving bowling ball if both balls have the same amount of momentum?

If both balls have the same momentum, then the speed of the golf ball will be faster compared to the speed of the bowling ball. This is because the golf ball has less mass than the bowling ball, so it needs to move at a higher speed to have the same momentum.


If a golf ball and a bowling ball are rolled toward each other when they collide and the bowling ball stops how does the golf balls speed compare with the bowling balls speed?

the golf ball stopped but the bowling ball keep rolling due to their different size and weight.as we know bowling ball is bigger in size as well as weight so it will face more fictin force and stops early as compare to golf ball when they collide and at the same time bowling ball poshes the golf ball back.so the golf ball stops and the golf ball keeps rolling.


If a bowling ball and a soccer ball are rolling along the ground at the same speed the bowling ball has more of this because its mass is greater?

The bowling ball has more momentum because momentum is directly proportional to an object's mass and velocity. Since the two balls are moving at the same speed, the greater mass of the bowling ball results in it having more momentum.


What makes a bowling ball harder to stop than a soccer ball when they are both traveling at the same speed?

The bowling ball is harder to stop because it has a greater mass, and therefore a greater momentum. But the answer is that the bowling ball has a greater mass.


Why does bowling ball goes faster than basketball?

Rolled? Thrown? How heavy of a bowling ball? And the speed of a ball depends on how hard a person throws it. It is hard to answer such a general question.


Why does a heavier bowling ball roll faster than a lighter bowling ball?

there is more momentum and it depends on what your arm swing speed is when you throw a bowling ball because on your follow through there is more momentum going with a heiver ball rather than a lighter ball

What force causes a bowling ball to roll down the hill?

No. Speed and force cause a bowling ball to roll down a lane. Friction may cause a bowling ball to change course on a lane though, and also slow it down.

Which exerts a gravitational force a baseball a football or a bowling ball?

A bowling ball since it has more mass. However, both the ping pong ball and the bowling ball are subjected to the same acceleration due to gravity, specifically 9.82 m s-2 and, neglecting air resistance, would fall at the same rate of speed.
