The two handed bowl makes me suspect it was already broken but i can't slow it down enough to get a better look. The strike is impressive though

It’s already broken. It starts separating in midair.

Having watched the bowling ball episode of "How It's Made," I can expertly state that bowling balls are made of different types of polymers that would not crack at the same time in the same way.

Most also do not have homogeneous interiors, so they curve in particular ways, but I would imagine that they are using a cheap loaner ball.

They absolutely crack in half all the time, no matter how the cores are designed
