yep, it's yet another innovation from dfm65 industries: balls for various sports - football, cricket, ten pin, baseball etc - they look just like the real thing - BUT THEY'RE MADE OF SOLID STEEL.

For XTREME sportsmen and women who know that winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.

Imagine: XTREME ten pin bowling - roll a strike with one of our BOWLING BALLS OF STEEL and those f^ckin pins won't be gettin' up again. GAME OVER!

Imagine: XTREME cricket - whoops! bowled a beaner at the batsman's head. just slipped out of my hand ump. the batsman was wearing a helmet but he's gone to the great pavilion in the sky anyway.

Imagine: XTREME football - the opposition's star penalty taker runs in to bend it like Beckham around your wall. CLANG! broken foot! hey, get off that stretcher you girl!

now unless gravity no longer exists how is the ball going to get even a inch in the air? If the ball is solid steel wouldnt that be kind of hard to pick up, throw, kick, or even headbut? hmm or maybe I am wrong and gravity just suddenly dissappered which might be why I am typing this upside down on the roof........................FREAKING AWESOME I CAN FLy😏

you'll notice that in the examples i gave, the only ball that has to be off the ground is the cricket ball, which is relatively small. ok, the bowling ball will be heavy to carry and swing, but it could be done by an athlete, and it wouldn't have to travel fast to smash those pins down for good. in the football example, you simply switch the steel ball for the real one when no-one's looking (because a pretty girl is streaking naked across the field, say). see? all it takes is a little imagination. but there will always be those who find it easier to say 'It Can't Be Done'...

Actually, it can....

Density of steel is about 490 lbs per cubic ft. Diamater of a ten pin bowling ball is 8.5 inches, which equates to approximately 0.186 cubic feet. A little math results in a weight of 91.2 lbs - drill out the finger holes, and you're at about 90 pounds (about 40 kilograms for you metric sorts) - heavy but certainly doable.

But you won't be spinning (or whatever you bowlers call it) that baby.

On a side note: Why would anyone not use the metric system?

Given the momentum the ball will have, I don't think spinning will be required - that kind of weight hitting with speed, as dfm put it, the pins won't be getting up again....

One reason to not use the metric system is because everyone around you uses a different system. When in Rome, do as the Romans, even if it's not the easiest way in the world to do things.
