Non USBC Approved?
« on: October 25, 2006, 02:40:25 PM »
I was looking into a Particle Ball and according to bowlingballreviews.com this is particle..however I can't find it on the USBC Approved list.

Any info?

Mmm...

on edit... sorry, just realized that the seller referenced that page in his description.  I only see one ball on the bowl.com site listed as a "Sweep" but it was approved in 2003.

I got this response from someone at Columbia about that ball, "... The Sweep and Complete Sweep are both color variations of the Icon 300 ... The ProGrip balls were not ABC approved as they were produced for a customer in Korea that did not require it."  Hope that helps.
