Since I don't have a bowling ball myself that I can observe, I have been looking around the web for reference videos and I found a very good reference video at YouTube.
It proves that a bowling ball sure can bounce if it achieves the right height and momentum.
Of course there are several factors that decide how well the ball will bounce. The height, speed, the ball's weight and the surface it hits.
In the reference one can clearly see the balls bouncing as they are being thrown from a pretty high altitude in comparison to the altitude the ball falls from in my animation.
Based on my observations from the reference video, I do believe I should increase the bounce in the bowling ball a bit more but not a lot as it is a HEAVY bowling ball falling from a lower height than the ones in the video.
Next to this I will continue to smooth out the animation as good as I can.
The video reference I have found can be seen here:
