The Science of Bowling – Holiday Field Trip

Designing A Better Bowling Ball:
Fun with Structure-Property Relationships

Presented by:
Heinz Plaumann,
BASF Corporation

The coverstock of high performance, professional level bowling balls is often made of with a custom-designed polyurethane material. In this presentation, Heinz will discuss some of the elements going into bowling ball design and performance, where “hook is everything”. The tendency for different materials to absorb the oil used to lubricate the lane is described as well as other surface effects such as polishing and surface wear.

There are no guarantees, of course, that attending this presentation will improve your personal bowling score…but it should be fun!

The talk will take place at Thunderbowl Lanes, the second largest bowling alley in the country. Heinz Plaumann will give his entertaining lecture in a conference room while we dine on pizza and beer (or other beverage of your choice). After his talk, we will hit the lanes!! The cost of this event is $10 and will cover the cost of food, drinks, bowling and shoe rental.

Please RSVP for this event by December 8th!!!
