Was anybody else bummed out because they didn't show the holes being drilled.

@Hiei2k7 4 жыл бұрын

Holes are drilled out at your bowling shop of choice using your hand and finger measurements.

@michaelmontenegro2251 4 жыл бұрын

Sounds about right. Thanks for the info.

No, because drilling holes are not part of making a bowing ball.

I remember my late Grandma Phyllis taking me to her local bowling alley to get me a fitted bowling ball. Not sure how my hand size compared to back then, as I wasn’t finished growing up yet and all that, but I can still use it last I bowled with it. Grandma Phyllis bowled a perfect game at 16, if I remember correctly. The bowling alley people gave her a ring with a little diamond in it to congratulate her. This was back in the mid-1940s I think, if that helps give perspective.

The name of that factory was Ebonite International. It was located in Kentucky, USA. The largest producer of bowling balls in the world at one time. It was closed 2 years ago and moved to Mexico after being bought out by Brunswick. A lot of hard working Americans lost their job. Interesting fact, some of the people you saw performing those task have been doing that same exact job for 40 plus years. Had several employees hit the 50 year anniversary mark. It was a unique place.

@theduke7539 3 ай бұрын

Hopkinsville is the name of the town, I used to pass that factory on the way to school. They weren't the biggest factory in town, and they certainly weren't the biggest employer. But they were a point of pride. The way they treated their employees was excellent. People who worked for Ebonite had great careers and made good money. A little piece of our city died when Brunswick shut them down. Our home is a factory town surrounded by farms. Weve lost a lot of jobs to foreign factories. But Ebonite was proud to stay and pay American workers a good wage with benefits. Brunswick bought them purely to own the competition.

The series is called “How It’s Made”, which is what they showed. An in-depth discussion on bowling styles, types of shots, and the impact of a lane’s oil pattern is “why” certain engineering choices were made and “why” they are designed the way they are, not “how” they are made.
