PBA bowling balls
« on: January 06, 2015, 01:13:40 PM »
I was told that all balls made for PBA players are different then the ones sold to the general public. Is this true? If so, what are the differences?

Alot if interesting comments on this. I will add. I have'nt seen this,but I was also told that PBA balls come wrapped in a orange bag, where the others are wrapped in a clear bag. If there is no difference, why would they do this?  ???

WOW my Hammer Bad Ass came in a orange bag!!

So I guess I got a PBA Ball

There have been plenty of rumors that balls will be made to look like a new release, but are actually something different (core, cover, etc.).  Not sure it will ever be truly known to be truth or not.  For instance, I have heard rumors that Chris Barnes was not happy with anything currently being offered by C300, so they basically made him some old balls he liked to look like the new releases. 
I believe the same thing was true for Norm Duke many years ago when he was with AMF...He had the Tour Night Hawk...


Now as for Chris not being happy...IMO...It probably had a lot to do with the goofy colors Columbia has had on their HP Balls...

Today the Mad Antics came out...Back to good colors...It's about time... ;D ;)

JLS...you are right...but at least the Tour Nighthawk was clearly labeled and not thought to be another ball with the same colors, labels, etc but a different pin color, like the DZs, HPDs, Speed Zones, and Combat Zones.

The Tour Nighthawk was nothing other than a Pulse that Norm loved so much.

Again you guys are making so much controversy over something so not controversial
Most if not all of the 'tour' type balls were ones of lesser reaction similar to the IQ series

I'm pretty sure the PBA balls are rounder than the ones I buy for myself. How else to explain why the pros are more consistent and better than me?? It's not fair, I tell ya.
