[@Terminal423]

As much as I understand the frustration with the ball return issue, I really hope this isn't your last homemade ball video. This series has been SO much fun and I'd love to see you keep experimenting. I'd also like to see the numbers on these balls just for shits and giggles, really see how illegal they are.

[@jpgunny101]

This guy bowled better with a ROCK than most people can with an entire arsenal of reactive bowling balls

[@KSI_Rogue]

As someone who has worked at a bowling alley as a mechanic, if the dimensions of the ball are the exact same as a regular manufactured one. Then i personally dont see what would be causing it to go off track. It is extremely rare for balls to go off track unless there is a build up of dirt and stuff on the tracks themselves. If anything I would either test the ball on another lane to see if it happens again or test a different ball on that same lane. I had this happen 1 time and my main mechanic who had worked there for 30 years said it was his first time ever seeing that happen. We cleaned the gutters weekly and opened the underground track and cleaned off the track monthly.

Your my favorite bowler and I’ve been getting into bowling and you are my favorite out of all bowling content creators and I just wanted to say that I 100% agree with you about the string bowl pin thing going on and want to help to bring more attention to the sport because I loved bowling since I was a kid and I’m now almost 20 years old and have been getting into bowling I’m buying my equipment and learning based off your channel and it saddens me that the bowling community may go down hill do to the string pin situation I want to help and do content on bowling to help spread attention for bowling because I love bowling and what it is capable of doing if they can think of something to bring the attention then I want to be a part of it and I’ll always be here to watch the videos THANK YOU!!❤️

[@ambiarock590]

I'm loving the homemade bowling ball videos. Edit: It'd be amazing if you somehow got your hands on an actual bowling ball mold that way you wouldn't have to file off the excess around the equator and wouldnt create flat spots

[@wingracer1614]

He would need a ball lathe to bring it down to size. Actual bowling ball molds are pretty oversize.

[@HaveatEpico]

This is how 220 starts all of his bowling company endeavors, he’s gonna be making balls, opening more alleys and idk… but I swear, you’re gonna be a ball manufacturer with this pace of ball producing

[@Alrobye760]

I hope this is not the last homemade bowling ball, i would love to see bowling pin shape as a core inside the bowling ball😂

[@ForrestKritzer]

This video “Rocked”😌

[@220avg]

Shutup

[@decadude8968]

That ball definitely looks and rolled better than the last 2!!! Super weird about it getting stuck in the ball return though. Just a thought but you could cut out the thumbhole and fingerhole parts of the silicone mold to get an undrilled ball, then drill it however you want. Also, try making the next one out of bowling ball plug material instead of epoxy! I have to imagine you'll get more hook if you do that.

[@220avg]

I thought about that. I kind of like having my fit come out automatically drilled in the ball though 😂 it feels like a cheat code

[@decadude8968]

This is actually a really good idea. Imagine a ball company making these. They could get the center part even more clear so you could see the unique rock inside.

[@shaunmcisaac782]

Random rocks would likely fail the RG and Differential requirements of the USBC so you won't get a real "run" of these. But for a one off novelty would be hilarious..

[@Ichigo1817]

The red/clear/blue does look pretty good. If u keep making these bowling balls. U might have to start your own bowling ball company lol

[@andrewdobosz3682]

Yes dude! This is the shit I'm subscribed for! Next one think about making a smaller center with a different resin to encapsulated the core then a harder resin for a coverstock.. eventually maybe a lathe to really get scientific and spherical

[@BornIn1500]

What he needs is a standard ball mold that the real ball companies use. Then he can center the core and make a legit ball.

[@andrewdobosz3682]

​@@BornIn1500yeah I said that last video. But I gotta admit the mold he made is pretty good for complete diy. I don't know how hard a legit mold would be to get ahold of... seems like something only a manufacturer would have might not be available to the public unless you buy in bulk . Just a guess though

[@1badtsi]

and so we go down the path of random shit put into homemade bowling balls, and we are here for it!

[@ayejayzayp4182]

You should definitely make a resin core and then make the bowling ball. As a video that would be sick !

[@Frank-mn4hx]

That ball rocks, literally. I'm surprised that it works pretty good. Althought it possibly not very different from the high end cores used today.

[@shawnrohrer6722]

Man that ball hits rock solid.

[@DoubleDoglegGolf]

As a fellow bowler, I can confirm that rogue bowling balls are sneakier than ninjas. If a ball goes off track, it must be plotting a grand escape. Next time, you should consider setting up a tiny surveillance camera to catch it in the act. I mean, how else are we going to solve the great "bowling ball breakout" mystery?

[@thelovablegoofs]

I absolutely live these videos they make me hopeful someone outside of the "pro" spectrum is doing fun thing's to make the sport fum and entertaining also would have been perfect if when you had a run going if you asked if you smell what the rock is cookin 😂

[@220avg]

LOL I WISH I THOUGHT OF THAT

[@lil_skillit]

Bowling ball company’s should make a customize bowling balls. Like you get to choose your core and surface

[@bowlerrollercoaster]

And coverstock!

Love the content 220. Always love to sit down and watch a bowling vid, keep up the great work

[@donaldjohnson5633]

Hey Michael! Have you thought about throwing that ball on a Haus machine? It might be slightly out of round. Heck, print yourself another 3D ball and make a mold of it. Whoever does the CAD could put your logo in it. The other thought was another 3D ball- and fill the inside with resin? Kill 2 birds with one stone... Keep it round and make it strong and heavy enough....

[@decadude8968]

Pretty sure the outside shell of the 3d printed material would crack if he did that.

[@220avg]

I def might have to throw this on one of the haus machines. I like this ball and want to throw it more 😂

[@turtled361]

​@@220avg your mold has flexible walls and might be bulging at the sides from the weight of the liquid resin. You will probably get more spherical results if you put the mold inside the old box it was cast in, or even better build a rigid wooden box to reinforce the silicone walls.

[@jatipemborongam7930]

i think the ball is a bit wideboi because the soft mould expand on the bottom when you pour the resin in

[@nadiussilva9416]

im actually so sad you didn't get a perfect game with the rock lmao that would have been so comedic also don't let those janky return rails stop you from making home made balls its not the balls fault

[@runescapefire3]

You should get into 3D printing so you can make your own cores that way!

The diameter likely being smaller is the reason for the return issues.

His new clear ball I think disproves this theory since that ball is a tenth inch smaller than a normal regulation ball.

That Ball you made is awesome!! My favorite of your videos!

[@snookymaster]

I kinda think the ball return problem is due to small imperfections. We hear it when it’s rolling. I bet it would work better if it is sanded a bit. It would roll better snd not go off track. The dimensions look good visually.

[@tomvonbraunsberg]

That’s the coolest color combo!!

[@daultonzschunke447]

you should resurface it to 500, then 1500 it'll make it a truly nice ball

[@enigmazero8624]

Do you sand your homemade bowling balls down to 80 grit or whatever and give them a full resurface on a spinner or resurfacing machine, or do you just make them “round” and that’s it?

[@marcmyers9881]

Love this series of vids I do think if you surface the ball on a ball spinner to even it out more you’d get an even smoother roll without the ball thumping down lane

[@brianpfouts2326]

I always rolled hammer balls and this makes me wanna make my own version of the hammer everclear but with my favorite brand of hammer and call it the EstwingClear

[@TriggeredGnome]

Reason why its getting stuck is because it is a fraction smaller than a normal ball due to the resin shrinking during the drying phase. Make the mold a little bit bigger or add some more coats of resin. Bowling balls over time also shrink too! My buddy had a problem getting his ball back after not bowling for 10 years, Putting the balls side by side we could tell it was smaller!

[@decadude8968]

I think the clear ball disproves this since that ball is a tenth of an inch smaller than a normal regulation ball.

[@thomaschilders5737]

You should team up with HP Lapidary to have them try to create a perfect clean epoxy sphere with an actual rock sphere inside. Then you could weigh it and lay it out and punch it like a regular bowling ball. It would probably be gorgeous.

can you make a right handed double curve ball? i wanted to see you do a full challenge vid with the double curve but you didn't throw it that way. Right handed so you can actually use it comfortably. Maybe just plug it and flip it over for right handed if you didn't want to make another?

You definitely could do some things to make a core thats extremely strong. Just get a couple pieces of steel, some concrete with a form, or even some lead and make a core thats symmetrical or asymmetrical at a point(this is more difficult since you can mess it up). Companies cant make cores or covers that are too good because then they will be illegal(which i think is absolutely absurd but whatever).
