Do any of you know the story of the ball testing fiasco which occurred on site last weekend you may change your opinion

Then please inform us of what happened.

Supposedly the durometer was broken at the event and equipment couldn't be tested to ensure it fell within the hardness allowances.  There have been ongoing concerns that Purple Hammers get softer the more they are used and may fall out of range.  That has added to speculation that Rash was not pleased that equipment wasn't being tested.

So what's the deal with someone asking about equipment being checked?  Who requested? Who's equipment?  Was a problem found? At one of the regional finals for the PBA Championship this weekend?

No-one has a problem with asking about if equipment can be checked. In fact, that is well within his right to do so, and I don't think anyone has any argument there.

The problem is how he handled the situation, doing it on air, doubling down on it, and showing a complete lack of integrity and class for who and what he is in the sport. The way he handled it and himself called both himself and the sport into disrepute, and that is what everyone is upset at.

If he had a problem, he should have exercised his right to ask for more testing than just the one broken durometer, handled it behind the scenes, and been a hell of a lot more classy than he was. But he didn't, and made himself a fool on national TV and got dinged for it.

Again, his request to solve a potential problem was valid, but he chose the wrong time and place to air out his dirty laundry for that argument.

BL.

Hammer has been trolling him the last few days on facebook with daily purple hammer memes.

I'm confused.  Did his stuff get checked and then the durometer break?   

Watch the Beef and Barnsey show on you tube. They explain what actually happened. Yes, the durometer broke. Yes, they found a replacement. Because the weather temp made the durometer inaccurate the pba just let all balls go thru. Just wouldn't make any difference to since all of these guys were traveling with less than 2 days to check in. Traveling with equipment in backs of trucks thru cold snowy weather would really keep the hardness up

And he's number 1 seed putting some extra mustard on the ball on that left lane with the "F U haters" line.

Out of line? eh. Darren Tang's on camera complaining about the racks at the West regional. He probably should get a fine too.

But the important part is how many Internet marks Rash can irritate and then feed off that energy, though 

So in short, because of his rant, Rash is trolling, got called out for the trolling, dinged with a fine and probation, and now wants to use the hiding and trolling he's copping from it as energy to fuel him? That's a roundabout way of feeding off of energy (negative, positive, or otherwise)...

.. But it's a gamble. To make himself the winner in all of this, the gamble is that he has to show up and win. If he doesn't, he's going to lose a lot of face in this, and quite possibly cause a lot of urethane to sell over the next few months.

BL.

It’s the purple hammer that’s the issue pay attention son
