Art You Can Roll
About the OTB Man with a Big Hat by Valentina Georgieva
The OTB Man with a Big Hat Bowling Ball by Valentina Georgieva wraps the "Man with a Big Hat" artwork from Valentina Georgieva, bold, colorful abstract and figurative art, around a straight-rolling polyester bowling ball. The design is printed edge to edge and sealed under the clear cover, so it looks the same on frame one hundred as it did out of the box.
Underneath the art it is a classic plastic ball: a symmetric 3-piece core and a durable polyester cover for a predictable, low-hook path. That makes it a dependable spare ball for league bowlers, a forgiving first ball for kids and casual bowlers, and a conversation piece on any rack. USBC approved, offered in 8 to 16 lb, and built to order by OnTheBall Bowling in the weight you pick.
Understanding the 3 Piece Core and Plastic
OnTheBall Bowling builds its designer series as straight-rolling polyester balls. The symmetric 3-piece core and non-reactive plastic cover deliver a true, predictable path with minimal hook (1 to 2 inches of flare), so the ball goes where you aim it regardless of the oil. The "Man with a Big Hat" artwork is printed and sealed under the clear cover, so it never wears off. There are no RG or differential numbers worth charting on a plastic ball; the point is a simple, controllable, straight roll.
A Simple Symmetric Core Built for a Straight, Predictable Roll
This ball uses a basic symmetric 3-piece (pancake) core. With a low, balanced mass distribution and a small differential, it rolls end over end with minimal track flare, so the ball holds a straight line down the lane.
That predictability is the entire point of a spare ball. Line up at a corner pin, send it straight, and trust it to go where you aim without hooking into or away from the pin, no matter how much oil is on the lane.
A Durable Polyester Cover That Skids Straight and Shows Off the Art
Wrapping the core is a durable polyester (plastic) coverstock with a polished finish. Polyester is non-reactive, so it skids cleanly through the oil and resists hooking. That makes it ideal for shooting spares straight, for newer bowlers still developing a release, and for anyone who wants a controllable, no-surprises ball.
The clear cover is also the canvas for the "Man with a Big Hat" artwork by Valentina Georgieva, sealed beneath the surface so it stays vivid and never wears off through play.
Who This Ball Is Right For
✓Spare Shooters: A dedicated spare ball that holds a straight line at corner pins regardless of the lane condition.
✓New and Youth Bowlers: A forgiving, easy-to-control first ball for bowlers still developing a release.
✓Straight Players: For bowlers who throw it straight and want a durable, predictable plastic ball.
✓Art Fans and Collectors: Licensed Valentina Georgieva artwork that is as fun to display as it is to throw.
