3oz positive compared to 3oz negative will not have the affect that may be expected. The way cores are centered in the balls today, shifts in static weights do not create the differences one may think.

but remove the restrictions and i am sure you will see cores that are only on one side of the ball.. if they do remove the restrictions it will be really interesting to see what ball manufacturers come up with and how it will change the game..

Here's my question -- what about equipment already in circulation? I've got a couple of balls that have fairly large weight holes, or that started with high top weights. What of them?

The main reason so many want to get rid of this is because too many pseudo proshops either dont have a scale or dont know how to weigh a ball.

Dumb down the drilling process so any basement hack cant screw it up.

might as well throw the ball up in the air and shoot it with a shotgun to make the holes the way some measure and drill.

"I'm not sure I would say it ain't broke.....

If all drillers are so familiar with the current specs how come so many balls are found to not meet spec at nationals every year? This will make it easier on the drillers, static weights are one less thing to worry about."

**I would put this more on the individuals that are weighing the bowling balls at USBC. I have seen balls pass one day and not the next. **

The manufacturers will not have to change their production lines, this will allow balls that they currently have to scrap or sell as seconds be sold as regular balls."

**This is happening now**

"Is it a win-win for bowlers if manufacturers, distributors and proshops keep going out of business? If this goes through it by no means indicates discounted equipment will no longer be available, maybe a little less but not eliminated."

**Inability to operate a business properly. A majority of pro shop operators do not know how to operate a business correctly, thus going out of business. Most business models, in regards to distributors, are out-dated.**

"Look at the big picture."

**Place blame where blame is deserved. The WHOLE industry is at fault from the ABC/USBC to the BPAA to ALL bowling center owners. Bowling balls are not to blame nor are lane conditions. The industries inability to attract new bowlers for over a decade and a half has eliminated a majority of bowlers.**

Static weights are an antiquated way of thinking, especially in regards to ball motion or reaction. But it is not going to bring back 7-8 million bowlers. Quit looking at bandaids.
