table view data points
1.Foul Line: The ball position calculated back to where the ball crossed the foul line.
2.Arrows: Ball position at 15 feet. For most people this is where the person is targeting. It is good to be able to consistently hit different targets all the way from 1 to 25.
3.Breakpoint Board: Ball position at the furthest point away from the center of the lane. The desired position varies depending upon the lane condition, bowling ball and the bowler’s dynamics (speed and revs).
4.Breakpoint Distance: The distance the ball was at the breakpoint. Much like the breakpoint board this will vary largely based on the variables of condition, ball and player.
5.Entry Board: The ball position at 59.5 feet. The strikes percentage is highest when hitting the pocket between 16.5 and 17.5 but varies depending on the speed and angle of the bowling ball.
6.Launch Angle: The direction the ball is going in the front part of the lane. Zero would be the ball going straight down the lane, a negative number means it is going towards the gutter, a positive number towards the headpin. The number should be relative to how you play the lanes, the more you play outside the lower the number will be, the more inside you play the higher negative number you will see.
7.Impact Angle: The angle of the ball between 57 and 59.5 feet.
8.Launch Speed: The speed the ball is in the front part of the lane. Most professionals range between 17.5 and 21 mph with a range of less than .5 mph. It is also important that you can vary this speed to help match up to different lane conditions.
9.Entry Speed: The speed the ball is going when it hits the pins. The ball will lose between 3 and 4 MPH when traveling down the lane.
10.RPM: Rotations Per Minute: A calculated number that calculates the revs of the player based on a number of factors. Environmental factors can change the number dramatically so it should only be used as a reference point during normal conditions.
