Well, the typical Bowling ball weight is between 8 - 16 lbs, and the length of a bowling lane is 60ft from the Foul line to the Pins. Let's do some math.

FΔt = Δp

F = Δp / Δt

= [mv(f) - mv(i)] / t

= [(7.0kg)(4.5m/s) - (7.0kg)(6.0m/s)] / 0.05s

= -210N

That means that a bowling ball is exerting about 210N of force. That's pretty self explanatory right there.
