I applaud them for taking a chance and doing something new. I would like to see more comparison tests with the actual ball instead of with two black balls and a Newton's cradle.

Re: C300s new HyperSHOCK technology any thoughts?
What they're talking about is Coefficient of Restitution of the ball. The USBC has minimum and maximum specs on COR. They have been in effect since 1992. What ever the outer core is effecting on COR can't be showing up on the ball or it would be outside their COR spec. Jury is still out!

Re: C300s new HyperSHOCK technology any thoughts?
I find it curious that they chose the word "Swerve". In wrestling, a Swerve is showing the audience one thing, but then doing the opposite. Hmm...
Words mean things, and this company knows that. Think back to the "Taboo"-- it was 'taboo' to use old technology, and then charge more for it...
I want a hammer made out of that stuff, BTW.

Re: C300s new HyperSHOCK technology any thoughts?
I just watched how they do the COR test. Perhaps the test ramp does not provide enough speed/force for the ball to be out of spec but with the speed on the lane, perhaps it does make a difference? Like a corked bat. If you hit balls with a small force I'm sure it wouldn't make a difference , but if you put enough force then the corked bat will make a big difference.Mo Pinel wrote:What they're talking about is Coefficient of Restitution of the ball.

Re: C300s new HyperSHOCK technology any thoughts?
I looked for some sort of patent on the hypershock technology but I couldn't find anything.

Re: C300s new HyperSHOCK technology any thoughts?
It's hard to find the patents on some of this stuff, because of how they word the patent. Example Ebonites "Hook Again" system that patent is called : "Method of treating the coverstock of a bowling ball to improve performance"J_w73 wrote:I looked for some sort of patent on the hypershock technology but I couldn't find anything.
You can see that one here:
http://www.google.ca/patents/US7473322
and who actually holds the patents, because while they maybe using, they might not have invented it.

Let's see what purduepaul says about the USBC COR test. He's done it enough times.J_w73 wrote:

Re: C300s new HyperSHOCK technology any thoughts?
It's difficult to separate the effects of oil pattern and lane from those of the ball design.
I have entry level reactive bowling balls that hook very much like the C300 demo.

Re: C300s new HyperSHOCK technology any thoughts?
The current Coefficient of Restitution specification is 0.650 to 0.750. So whatever the technology's affect on the COR must fall within that range. With that being said, I do not think that this additive adds to the energy transfer to the ball. http://www.polymerambassadors.org/happyandsad.pdf They basically describe the same reaction that occurs with the one rubber ball that does not bounce back. They describe in the link in fact that when a ball dies like that it has a lower COR, which makes logical sense to me.
The definition of COR is the ratio of the amount of energy transferred to the amount of energy available to transfer. So if a ball does not bounce as high, it is not transferring as much energy.

Re: C300s new HyperSHOCK technology any thoughts?
I agree, but the way I look at it the ball will have 15 lbs times it's speed in force. So it I'll be absorbing the impact of the pins and not bouncing off of them and instead continue driving in the direction it was traveling. Imagine a ball made out of reach of those materials the size and weight of a bowlng ball. Imagine the result when each hit an object going at the same speed. I imagine seeing less deflection with the ball that doesn't bounce.purduepaul wrote:The current Coefficient of Restitution specification is 0.650 to 0.750.

There is no free lunch.
If the ball is bouncing less off the pins, the pins are bouncing less off the ball.

Re: C300s new HyperSHOCK technology any thoughts?
I understand and completely agree. I just said there would be less deflection with the ball. Would you agree on that? I'm not sold on their experiment with the pin flying farther. Maybe that was just one test where the pin flew farther because it hit a different spot on the pin. But if the ball does not deflect as much, perhaps more of the force from the moving ball could be transferred to the pin? I don't know.MWhite wrote:

Perhaps something is going on similar to the Pro V1 golf ball. A slow swing speed will not compress the ball enough and the ball will not go as far as most balls. But get someone with a fast pro caliber swing speed that can compress the ball and the ball will definitely go farther than other balls hit with that same swing speed. I know this isn't a 1:1 comparison. I'm just throwing some ideas out there that might be related to what is happening.

See the Coefficient of Restitution test at about 5:45 mins.J_w73 wrote:

Which is what their claiming in the video, "works to control the influence pins have on the balls motion through the pin deck" which says to me it's reducing the balls deflection or altering it in someway.
I'm not sold on their experiment with the pin flying farther. Maybe that was just one test where the pin flew farther because it hit a different spot on the pin.
The test they showed looked similar to the Coefficient of Restitution test. I would expect if a ball had less give a pin would bounce harder/farther off it, which is what this additive appears to be doing and the video showed it do. The pin bounced a ""little"" farther.
But if the ball does not deflect as much, perhaps more of the force from the moving ball could be transferred to the pin? I don't know.
Which is pretty what they said in the video after about 9:00min. or so in. Where Randy was talking about the ball having longer contact with the pins so it could transfer more energy to the pins.

Is bouncing here equivalent to ball deflection? Does down lane friction encountered by the ball matter?

Hi MWhite

Lets assume the ball is rolling straight down the lane and impacts the head pin on the right side.
Before the impact, the ball has a mass and velocity. Since it is rolling straight down the lane, none of that velocity is in a right to left direction.
The pin has a mass, but a velocity of 0.
After the impact, the sum of the pin's mass and it's velocity, and the ball's mass and it's velocity have to be equal to the mass and velocity of the ball before impact.
Also the mass and velocity of the pin moving to the left has to equal the mass and velocity of the ball moving to the right.
So like I said, the less the ball bounces (less velocity to the right), the less the pin bounces (less velocity to the left)
Yes down lane friction matters, however since the significant change they made was too the core, the friction encountered by this ball should be the same as encountered by the equivalent shelled ball without the new core.
