Bowling Ball
A heavy sphere with three holes and a grudge against pins/Everyday Objects
A regulation bowling ball has a maximum weight of 16 pounds (about 7.26 kg) and a circumference no larger than 27 inches. Most adult bowlers use a ball around 14 pounds (6.35 kg). The core shape inside the ball is engineered with the precision of aerospace components, all so you can hurl it down a lane and hope it doesn't end up in the gutter.
