Having thought about it, what I'm really wanting to do is throw them both the same distance, with the same arc. So do I need more force uphill, and do I need more/less downhill. I think it's the potential energy that makes the difference.

And how would I describe that? That's essentially what I'm asking, how does the resistance effect the distance traveled with 2 different weight and size balls.

Ok, I'm with you now. I think you generally Bowl them with the same energy, so using same force and same arc.

Honestly, I don't know. Surely the same arc and same force would take the same time? When you say arc I assume that's distance traveled along the arc?

Hello, I play bowls on outdoor grass greens. I studied physics in school, and I've been wondering how physics works on the bowls in different areas of the green. So for those who aren't familiar, you have a jack and a bowls. Jack is smaller and lighter, bowls larger and heavier. The bowling...
