Bowling ball

🏀 That's about the weight of 11 basketballs — or 7 liters of water 💧, or 18 cans of soda 🥤.

At 6.8 kg, it ranks #23 of 26 in Sports (lightest to heaviest) — heavier than FIFA World Cup trophy (6.2 kg) and lighter than Men's shot put (7.3 kg).

This is one of the catalog's biggest surprises — and since it's a standardized product, the number above is exact, not an average.

The heaviest legal bowling ball is 16 lb — pros often roll lighter balls than you'd think.
