Differential Limits
« on: April 29, 2005, 07:33:21 AM »
Hi all,

Everyone has been talking about the new USBC proposals, but I have a question about the .60 Differential limit that was big news about a month back.  Did it actually go through?  Is that now an official rule?  Does it effect three piece balls, most of which have +.60 Diffs?

Thanks,

That's what I thought.  I just wanted to check.  I was thinking backwards anyway.  Most three piece balls have low diffs and high RGs.  I was thinking they had high diffs.  Sorry.  It looks like a dumb question now.

Most 3 piece balls have low diffs, but yes, all new bowling balls have to be .060 or below. Balls prior to Feb 1 are grandfathered in.

I don't think that's true.  I believe that after Feb 1, balls with super-high diffs like the Cherry Bombs and some Ebonite balls couldn't be manufacutered either.  They are certainly still allowed in competition and will be for as long as someone wants to use them, but the companies can no longer make them.
