Bowling Ball Colors and Designs

Bowling being the sport that sees the most participation in the United States, it’s definitely big business for the companies involved in the design and manufacture of bowling balls and related accessories. All the better known organizations – think Ebonite International (Columbia 300, Hammer, Ebonite, etc), Storm, and AMF – spend a lot of time and money in the research and development of balls that have an edge over existing competition in terms of both performance and looks.

Their main aim is to strike the right balance between looks and performance. A bowling ball that’s great in performance but looks drab wouldn’t appeal as much to a player as one that boasts both qualities. These organizations understand this truth very well.

Therefore, equal efforts are always put in ensuring that the bowling balls are made visually appealing. If you’re not convinced, you only have to look at the many series that each manufacturer has launched into the market so far. Take for instance the Black Widow Series by Hammer one of the many Storm series. Browse through the Columbia 300 series and you’ll find the truth there as well.

Bowling ball colors range from solid to iridescent. While some stick to single colored “flat” bowling balls, others make use of two or more colors to create designs that can only be described as swirls. Some bowling balls have a unique appearance since they’re painted to make it seem as though they are transparent and have something inside them.

These “inner objects” in the past have been baseballs, skulls and even footballs. Bowling ball colors are known for bowling people over. Lots of homes and businesses make use of these well-designed balls with unique graphics on them as part of their show-case. In order to do so, they make use of bowling ball cups. These are meant to allow you to place your bowling ball in the position you prefer without it rolling off.

Such bowling ball cups are also used by bowling enthusiasts who make use of more than one ball during their game. They use the accessory to keep their other bowling ball stationary.
