When drilling a ball, the position of the mass bias will determine the backend reaction of the ball also known as the shape of the hook. Asymmetric balls are effected more by the mass bias than a symmetric core which is why asymmetric cores always has the mass bias labeled while symmetric cores typically do not.

Answer: 450
The highest possible score that can be attained in five-pin bowling is 450. This can be accomplished by achieving a strike in the first nine frames and then achieving three more strikes in the tenth (final) frame. In five-pin bowling, three strikes in a row is a total of 45 points (in the first frame in which the streak began). When multiplied by ten, the final point total would be 450.
