Inside The BallRoom

Eight features.
One serious bowling toolkit.

Every section below is a real screenshot from real data — no mock-ups, no Photoshop. Tap any image to enlarge it.

Dashboard

The cockpit

Everything you need to know in one glance — and a one-tap path to whatever you're about to do. Renders identically across light, dark, and mobile.

  • Headline stats

    Bowling average, ball speed, rev rate, and trophy-series number — pulled live from your game log.

  • Quick Actions

    One tap into Arsenal (with your ball count), Ball Database, AI Detection, or Arsenal Analysis.

  • Latest balls in the catalog

    Releases as they land in the database — never miss a new Storm or Roto Grip drop.

  • Recent Activity feed

    Games, tournaments, leagues, achievements — every kind of bowling activity in one date-sorted list.

Pattern Intelligence

What to throw, where to stand, why it works

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.

Arsenal Analytics

Your bag, X-rayed

One arsenal score, six health metrics, and the math behind why you should — or shouldn't — drill that next ball.

  • Arsenal Health Score

    Single letter grade rolled up from 6 sub-metrics: coverage breadth, depth, variety, layout coverage, redundancy, gap coverage.

  • "What's actually working"

    Composite 0-10 rating per ball pulled from your real game results, not just the manufacturer's brochure.

  • Oil condition coverage

    Every ball plotted on the Dry → Heavy spectrum. Empty zones = your blind spots when conditions change.

Ball Details Drawer

Tap any ball.
Get the whole story.

Seven tabs deep — Overview, Analysis, Ratings, Performance, Layout, Grip, Notes — plus per-ball Games and Tournaments where this ball appeared. All on a single drawer.

Overview

Coverstock, RG, differential, PAP, where used: tournaments + recent games.

Analysis

Radar of ball + layout effect. Hook potential / length / backend / control as numbers.

Layout

Drilling layout with pin-to-PAP / VAL / dual-angle, plus an SVG of the actual layout on the ball.

Games

Total games, average, high, last-10 avg. Drill into per-game scores per tournament.

Trophy Room

Your career, properly framed.

Tournaments, leagues, achievements, photos, video. Every record you'd put in a trophy case — and a few you wouldn't think to.

  • Career stat tiles

    Total tournaments, prize money, championships, highest finish — your bowling resume up top.

  • Tournament cards

    Finish, format, lanes, pattern, payout, photos — every detail of every event you ever bowled.

  • Photo pile per entry

    Hover to flip through, click to enlarge, video plays full duration — even iPhone HEVC.

  • Three shareable player cards

    Telemetry, Passport, Classic — generate a card from your stats and post it to socials.

PAP Management

Track your release like a pro shop

Player profile, most recent PAP, axis-tilt and rotation characteristics, and ball-selection guidance — all on one screen.

  • Player profile

    Handedness, release style, ball speed, weight preference, total ball count — your scouting report on yourself.

  • Current PAP at a glance

    Your most recent measurement with axis tilt + rotation — the two numbers a pro shop needs before they touch a press.

  • Characteristics analysis

    Plain-English reads of what your PAP means: ball motion shape, breakpoint sharpness, ideal coverstock pairing.

  • Ball selection guidance

    Coverstock, layout, and surface suggestions tailored to your specific release numbers — no guesswork.

Arsenal · Drilling · Catalog

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.

  • Ball history

    Each ball used gets a "PBA Johnson" association.

  • Pattern playbook

    Your average + best game on this pattern updates.

  • Trophy room

    Tournament card materializes with photos + per-game scores.

  • Achievement detect

    PR? 800 series? Cash finish? Auto-flagged.

One tournament entry weaves itself into ball stats, pattern history, and your bowling resume. Stop manually cross-linking the same event five places.

You score a series.

Frame-by-frame series

League Tuesday · 248-215-202 · Phaze IV · Sport pattern

  • Ball wear

    Game count +3 on the Phaze. Surface-change reminder if due.

  • Lifetime stats

    Average recomputes. PR detection fires on high game / series.

  • Spare conversion

    Per-pin make-rate updates against pins-left counts.

  • Pattern playbook

    Your score history on this pattern grows.

  • Achievements

    Auto-detect: 300, 800, perfect, high game by ball.

  • 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.

FAQ

QUESTIONS WE HEAR.
AND WHAT WE ACTUALLY ANSWER.

What does "Founder" status actually mean?
Beta accounts are flagged as Founders, and your access is free for the entire beta. If we introduce paid plans (we haven't decided when), Founders lock in special Founder pricing — the lowest rate we ever offer — instead of the standard rate, and we'll never spring a surprise retroactive paywall on people who signed up early. It's the simplest way we know to thank early users.
How accurate is the physics simulation?
It's a model, not a measurement. We forward-simulate trajectory using your PAP, rev rate, ball speed, axis tilt, axis rotation, plus the coverstock material, RG, differential, and surface grit. It's the same parameter set Mo Pinel's MoRich layout system uses. Your mileage will vary with actual lane conditions — the engine gives you a starting point, not a guarantee.
Why do I need PAP history? My PAP doesn't change.
Your PAP absolutely shifts as your release matures, as you change inserts, or after a coach makes a tweak. Most bowlers re-measure once a year and write the old number down somewhere. We track every measurement against date and the ball it was taken on — so you can see your axis migrate over time and correlate it with score changes.
Multiple drillings per ball — why does that matter?
Bowlers re-drill all the time. New layout, plugged thumb, hand surgery, switched from 1-handed to 2-handed. Other apps blow away the old layout when you enter a new one. We keep the whole drilling history per ball — so when you want to compare 'how did the Phaze IV bowl on its first layout vs this one,' you can.
Do I need to be a serious bowler to use this?
No. If you bowl one league a week with three balls in your bag, the app is useful. If you bowl four leagues plus regional tournaments with 15 balls, the app gets MORE useful — that's where the physics engine, PAP history, and pattern playbook earn their keep.
Can I import games I bowled before I joined?
Yes. Two import paths: paste a LeagueSecretary CSV export (any standard format works), or take a photo of a paper scoresheet and let our Claude Vision integration parse the scores.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. The web app is mobile-first and we have iOS + Android wrappers via Capacitor in beta. Live scoring at the lane was specifically designed for one-handed thumb use between throws.
Will my arsenal data be public?
Only if you explicitly opt in. The public bowler card (/b/[your-slug]) is off by default and shows only the curated fields — career stats, achievement count, top balls. Notes, scores, and PAP measurements stay private.
Is this affiliated with USBC, Kegel, Storm, etc.?
No. The BallRoom is independent. We use Kegel pattern PDFs (which they publish openly), reference USBC stats, and catalog balls from every manufacturer — but we're not partnered with any of them.
