This cutting-edge technology promises to bring precision and consistency to a sport where surface performance is crucial. The podcast explores how this technology is revolutionizing operations for pro shops and manufacturers worldwide, enhancing the accuracy of surface preparation that was previously based on estimation rather than precise measurement.

The company distributes the Jayhawk Precision Ball Surface Scanner, a laser optical instrument developed by Douglas G. Frank, PhD, which measures bowling ball surface roughness parameters in seconds.
