The sports of bowling provides good amount of recreation as well apart from its basic feature of physical involvement and sporting. The bowling ball is a spherical ball made up of either plastic or urethane. The tropical storm bowling ball is generally provided with a set of three holes for positioning one's fingers into it to have a firm grip to hold the ball. In some cases, with the decrease in the circumference of ball, no holes are provided and ball is easy enough to hold without inserting the fingers.

The tropical storm bowling ball comes in a variety of designs and colors. Most of these are painted in vibrant colors such as red and blue and appearing in swirl like designs. The inside structures of the ball makes it different to act than others. The cores inside the ball are dynamically imbalanced. The imbalance causes the ball to try to stabilize while it is rolling down along the path. The cores are also built with different densities where some balls are heavy weighted at the center while others concentrate the weight evenly to all parts of the ball structure.

There are four major types of tropical storm bowling ball depending upon its usability. The first one is displaying bowling ball. With the name it is clear that these are used just for showcasing and not for actual play. These are displayed in offices or homes just for decorative purpose. These are also used for advertising and promotion of launch of a business product. The candlepin bowling balls are for sporting purpose and have a diameter of around 12 centimeters with a maximum permissible weight of around 1.1 kg. The other forms include duckpin bowling balls and five pin bowling balls and both of these have no holes for fingers to insert in. While the duckpin balls are of 2 to 4 pounds, the five pin are of 3.5 to 4 pounds. The duckpin balls are slightly larger than candlepin balls but smaller than ten pin balls.

There are numerous factors that govern the behavior of the ball while rolling along the path. The basic factor is the delivery by the bowler or player. While bowler bowls the ball, the environmental factors such as force of gravity, inertia and friction largely set the motion of the ball. The lane and ball characteristics also play a major role in governing the motion of the ball.
