Question: What is an asymmetrical core in a bowling ball?
A: An asymmetrical core has an intentionally unbalanced internal design that creates more torque and differential between the ball's axes of rotation. This produces stronger flare potential, sharper transitions, and more aggressive backend reaction compared to symmetrical cores. The added mass bias gives the ball extra snap and angularity on the back end of the lane.
