I remember when, in college, the pro-shop of my local bowling alley described asymmetric cores and how finger holes in relation to the center of gravity changed ball movement.

It was revelatory. It made me feel like a superman to toss a ball down the lane and see it reliably curve towards the intended target.

To read this was a joy. I'm not sure why all the hate that it's not filled with more diagrams, or the (justified) hate with Wired's paywall strategies. But the human side of engineering was artfully portrayed and engaging.
