  This article demonstrates a new approach to finding ideal bowling targeting
strategies through computer simulation. To model bowling ball behaviour, a
system of five coupled differential equations is derived using Euler equations
for rigid body rotations. We used a computer program to demonstrate the phases
of ball motion and output a plot that displays the optimum initial conditions
that can lead to a strike. When the bowler is modeled to be imperfect, it is
shown that some targeting strategies can lead to higher strike rates due to the
miss room created by the inhomogeneity of the oil pattern.
