I'm a former bowling enthusiast, even bowling professionally at the regional level. The article is right, the weight block is important. But there is even more physics at play in the ball surface and the way the holes are placed. (Making the ball heavier in places relative to the part of the ball that is the 'track', where it rolls, can greatly change the way the ball behaves.) For those with an interest, read sometime about a man named 'Don McCune', who went from being a middle-grade bowler to the dominant professional almost overnight because he discovered how hardness of the ball surface is important.
