Hi this is my take on the bowling challenge. After a little bit of experimenting I managed to make the material of the bowling ball with a noise map.
The only thing I could not figure out is the “Motion Blur”, so I added that in Photoshop ( but it should be possible in Blender right? ).
Here is the original render:
Let me know what you think 
Wow! Looks realy good! 
Nice Job!! I love what you have done with your materials.
Hi, I like you progress, well done!
For motion blur, you need to set things in motion first!!
So do animation, which is in this case, the use of Blender physics. All tools will be explained in the following lessons.
Aha, thnx for the tip!
I guess I have to be patience then and follow along the next lesson 
You can! And I advice you to follow the lessons!
But, you can, as many do, go once in a while from the path and find tutorials on the web.
Have fun!
