Not much in my opinion.

Ball companies have come and gone but the balls are still pretty much the same. Probably a bit stronger overall.

300 is still a perfect game.

Bowlers still bitch about every little thing.

Your alley snack bar will still be selling a crap-load of fried stuff.

The place you used to bowl, if it's still there, is now 14 years older...and probably looks it.

No more weight holes. Other than that, not much.

The dry towel rule, Rule 18, went into effect August 1, 2019. The rule states:

While bowling in USBC Competition, a bowling ball cannot:

1. Have the surface altered by an abrasive.
2. Be cleaned with any liquid substance or cleaning agent.
3. Have any foreign material on it including, but not limited to:
-Powder
-Rosin
-Marker
-Paint
All bowling balls so altered or cleaned must be removed from the competition.

NOTE: Should a foreign substance appear on the outer surface of a bowling ball which cannot be removed with a dry towel, an approved cleaner may be used with the consent from a league or tournament officer

You forgot the rise of the 2 handed bowler and Belmonte.
