I did a search for "ball speed" and came up with a gazillion pages, and at 3 am before work I wasnt in the mood to do that much reading.
I remember reading a post about ball speed conversion using a stop watch in the past month or so but cant find it again.
any help here for the early morning challenged, who is still sucking down the coffee?

That link took me to the same question asked by someone else but gave no answer either......

I don't know if this will help or not, but I recently slowed down from 19-20 mph, to 15-16. I used to have a long approach from the very back. Now I start at the front row of dots, took two steps out of my approach. Helped speed, control, and I don't get anywhere near as tired when powerbowl with my buds. lol

You can always hit em hard when you've got the balls

According to Storm Tips, the equation is:
Speed = 40.91 / T
Where T is the time it takes from release to the ball reaching the pins.
For Example, my strike ball averages 2.6 seconds. Plugging that in gives me 15.7mph. This was verified later when the house I usually bowl in got new scorers that could clock speed.
--------------------
On league night, a realm of untold destruction and horror is formed. Innocent pins are unsuspectingly pulled into this terrifying realm. Their lives are changed forever by the terror that is unleashed upon them for the next 36 frames. They stand in fear as they await their fate when they enter...The Danger Zone. (Only those damn 10-pins have lived to tell the gruesome tale.)

ecajberry, you need to adjust your "Preferences" so that you can view older posts.

I dont know why I didnt think of that to begin with.
