Scented Bowling Balls Now Available

Posted: 8:44 am CST March 14, 2005

Milwaukee -- Odors associated with bowling traditionally include smelly feet, cigarette smoke and beer. But what about grape, amaretto and cherry?

Bowling balls already come in almost every conceivable color. Now, they're available in scents, too.

One bowling ball manufacturer -- Storm Products Incorporated -- is putting fruit and other popular scents into its mid- to high-end bowling balls, resulting in a steady increase in sales.

And that makes a lot of sense to four-time Professional Bowlers Association champ Ryan Shafer. He says he may have won a match because an opponent was distracted by his black licorice-scented ball.

Storm Products has a range of scents for its upper-end bowling balls. Bowlers can choose from cinnamon, orange, amaretto and cherry, among others.

Storm Products' first scented balls -- green apple and citrus -- came out in the spring of 2000. Since then, the company has produced about 40 scents.

But smelling good at the lanes doesn't come cheap. Storm's scented bowling balls cost between $150 and $250.

I don't know about that...

"Wow, your bowling stinks!"
"Yeah? Well at least my balls smell better than yours!"

I don't know what it is... but something about that seems... wrong.
