Weighing the ball

To weigh a bowling ball using a Dodo scale, follow these steps:

1. Set Up the Scale

Place the Dodo scale on a flat, stable surface. Ensure it's turned on and calibrated to zero.

2. Position the Ball

Place the bowling ball on the scale's cradle, ensuring it's centered and stable.

3. Read the Display

The scale will display the weight of the ball. Note the reading in ounces or grams.

4. Calculate the Weight

If the reading is in ounces, divide by 16 to convert to pounds. If in grams, divide by 1000 to convert to kilograms.

5. Verify Accuracy

For precision, repeat the measurement and check for consistency.

The Dodo scale is a specialized tool used in bowling to measure static imbalances in a ball, such as side, finger, and thumb weights. These measurements are crucial for customizing the ball's layout to match a bowler's style and preferences. However, for general weight measurements, a standard scale may suffice.
