What does bowling ball serial number mean?

 Each bowling ball has a unique serial number engraved on it, which is used to identify and track the ball. The serial number includes information such as the ball's manufacturing date, batch number, and model.

The first few digits of the serial number typically indicate the year and month the ball was made, while the remaining digits indicate the batch number and model. The exact format of the serial number can vary depending on the manufacturer, but it generally follows a similar pattern.

Some manufacturers also include additional information in the serial number, such as the weight of the ball or the specific factory where it was made. In general, the serial number is a useful tool for bowlers who want to track their ball's performance over time, or for manufacturers who need to identify specific batches of balls for quality control purposes.
