No. The highest ball speed you can register is the moment it leaves your hand. After that moment friction slows the ball down. Generally if a Bowling alley has speed sensors at the pin deck the register speed is about 1.5mph slower than when the ball left your hand. Being that reactive resin has a higher coefficient of drag against the lane it will slow your ball down more than if our threw a plastic house ball in similar shape.
