For Serious Bowlers · Founder Round Open
YOUR PAP ISN'T A NUMBER.
IT'S A HISTORY.
Every PAP measurement, every drilling, every surface change — date-stamped, with per-ball overrides, across years and re-drills. Built for bowlers whose arsenal has a longer history than their last scoresheet.

What makes us different
THREE THINGS
NOBODY ELSE TRACKS.
We don't list every feature we have. We list the three a serious bowler can't get anywhere else.
MULTIPLE PAPS PER BOWLER.
Per-ball overrides.
Your PAP migrates as your release matures, after insert changes, after a coach tweaks your timing. We time-stamp every measurement and let you override it per-ball — so the Phaze you drilled three layouts ago still carries its own PAP record.
In product:Bowler-level + per-ball · date stamped · history visualization
MULTIPLE DRILLINGS PER BALL.
Plugged + redrilled stays.
Bowlers redrill all the time — new layout, plugged thumb, hand surgery, switched 1-handed to 2-handed. Other apps overwrite. We keep the whole sequence per ball so you can compare 'how did this Phaze IV bowl on its first layout vs its fourth.'
In product:Sequential drill log · 2LS notation · driller notes · layout photos
FORWARD-SIM, NOT HOROSCOPES.
Real ball motion math.
We forward-simulate every ball in your bag against the oil grid using your PAP, rev rate, ball speed, axis tilt, axis rotation, plus the ball’s coverstock, RG, differential, and surface grit. Strike probability, breakpoint, entry angle — all derived, not asserted.
In product:0–100 grading · per-ball strategy panel · pattern playbook
One data model · Zero silos
ENTER IT ONCE.
IT SHOWS UP EVERYWHERE.
Other bowling apps silo your arsenal, your games, and your tournaments into separate worlds. We tied them together — so the same layout you drilled, the same tournament you logged, the same surface change you recorded all cascade through the rest of the app automatically.
You drill a ball.
New drilling
Phaze IV · 4th drilling · pin-to-PAP 4½″ · VAL 45°
Per-ball strategy
Re-scores this ball against every pattern in your library.
Physics simulation
Layout multipliers feed the forward-trajectory engine.
Arsenal score
Coverage + gap analysis recompute.
Drilling timeline
New entry on the ball's lifecycle log.
The pin-to-PAP, VAL, and dual angle you enter once feeds the trajectory engine for every pattern — no re-entry, no copy-pasting layout math.
You log a tournament.
New tournament entry
2024 PBA Johnson · 12th of 80 · Phaze IV + Phaze V · 1,547 pins
Career stats
Cash, finishes, total games — rolled up automatically.

Trophy room
Tournament card materializes with photos + per-game scores.
Achievement detect
PR? 800 series? Cash finish? Auto-flagged.

Weekly digest
Sunday email surfaces what changed this week.
One series entry updates ball wear, your lifetime average, pattern history, spare percentages, and your trophy room. Automatically. Every game makes the next one smarter.
Every PAP measurement, every surface change, every league night, every tournament finish — all linked. The app gets smarter the more you use it because nothing you enter ever lives alone.
Inside The BallRoom

Import any pattern from Kegel / PBA / USBC. We model it in 3D, score every ball in your arsenal against it, and hand you a targeting line.
3D oil volume render
Visualize the pattern as actual oil — high-density red zones, friction zones, the breakpoint geometry.
Arsenal trajectories
Each ball in your bag rendered as its predicted line through the pattern, color-coded by grade.
Match scores per ball
Every ball ranked 0-100 against this pattern. Top pick highlighted — pick the right one in seconds.
Optimal target line
Stand-here, swing-here, hook-this-many-boards. Generated from your ball specs + pattern friction model.
Per-ball strategy
Every ball in your arsenal ranked for this pattern. Top pick gets a Forward-sim adjustment note.
Multi-game tournament plan
Six-game block? We hand you a game-by-game ball + target shift schedule for pattern transition.
