bowling balls

Heavy drilled spheres

Bowling balls are the heavy spheres rolled down lanes to knock over pins in the sport of bowling.

They typically weigh between six and sixteen pounds and have finger holes for grip.

The term sometimes appears as slang for testicles, parallel to other round-object euphemisms: That hit him right in the bowling balls.
