If linear velocity is ball speed, what do you make of Mo's statement:

"The linear velocity will decrease as it approaches the minor axis (pin to spin line) and start to increase as it passes the minor axis. It will achieve maximum velocity as it approaches the major axis."
Clear as mud. Not sure what to make of it.

Doh!
I forget about that. Nice catch, guys!
The RPM values will be affected by Axis Tilt, but MPH will not.

Post #15 by Mo:
In practical terms, if a ball is released with 15* of tilt, an asymmetrical ball with hit the pins with about 11* of tilt, while a symmetrical ball will reach the pins with about 8* of tilt

Track Length = Pi x Ball Dia. x cos(Tilt)
[from http://wiki.bowlingchat.net/wiki/index. ... tguide.xls" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;]
Which simplifies to:
Track Length = 27" x cos(Tilt)

Initial Track Length == 27" x cos(15*) = 26.1" = 2.17'
Generated RPM => 350 rpm = 350 x 2.17 = 759.5'/min = 12.7'/sec
Generated MPH => 18 mph = (18 x 88)/1 minute = 1584'/min = 26.4'/sec

Final Track Length (Asym) == 27 x cos(11*) = 26.5" = 2.21'
Final MPH (mon) => 16 mph = (16 x 88)/1 minute = 1408'/min = 23.47'/sec
Final RPM (calc) => 23.47'/sec = (23.47 x 60)/2.21 = 637.2 rpm

Final Track Length (Sym) == 27 x cos(8*) = 26.7" = 2.23'
Final MPH (mon) => 16 mph = (16 x 88)/1 minute = 1408'/min = 23.47'/sec
Final RPM (calc) => 23.47'/sec = (23.47 x 60)/2.23 = 631.5 rpm

Look better?

Since he made that as a general physics statement, I'd say he's talking about the rate of travel for the PAP (the object) along that particular RG contour (elliptical orbit), aka PAP migration or Precession, if you like.

From the data on the TV broadcasts Belmo gets around 550 RPMs, so even it revs up when it rolls. The less revs a bowler has the more dramatic the increase will be. -- JohnP
