description 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.
