Illegal ball? need help
« on: May 28, 2010, 01:04:47 AM »
We have a two hander in our league who has all his balls drilled with just the top two fingers and no thumb hole drilled. He averages 215 but I'm not sure if you can drill a ball with just the two finger holes. Is this illegal or is there a way that a ball can be drilled with only two fingers so that its legal?

You do not have to have a thumb drilled as lond as the weight meets regulations. Also, watch if the guy throwing the ball is flipping the ball and throwing the other way, that is illegal if the weight the second way thown is out of regulations. saying if the pin is high the original layout, the bowler can flip the ball around and now the pin is low, that is illegal. but just check in to it. if he is not flipping the ball then it is all fair game.

How about we take a step back and stop jumping to conclusions here? mr300ny asked whether or not this was legal, but he didn''t say he was doing so because he wanted to bust the guy. It''s possible he was asking because he didn''t want to see this person get into trouble, so he was going to give him a heads up. If he was asking because he was looking to get the goods on the two-hander, then I''ll agree with you guys, but let''s at least give him the chance to explain before we flame him for being a sore loser.

Holding your ball in your hand as a palm bowler isnt easy because when you are approaching the lane the bowling ball weight shifts.  Sounds more like pissed cause he is kicking some serious azzz...
