Then they can refigure my PBA X league average like they do for others if it's a problem. Quotethats just the problem!!! iv seen and heard to many times the person wont tell the director(s) and the directors wont bother to change or even look into it themselves!!

I just can't see it called sandbagging when you throw every shot to the best of your ability. The ball I throw is my choice, right?

The ball I throw is my choice, right?Understood.But, since this will be your only regular league (non-PBAx), the average you finish with will become the basis for any other leagues entered the following year. If you decide to join a money (let's call it "serious") league, your 220 average will become the basis for your entry (whether it's a handicap league or a capped team entry scratch league). However, if you use resin in that new league, your average is likely to get back towards your true capability of 240 or so. The problem arises if someone else learns your 220 average was shot with urethane, they may have a concern they'd bring up before the league. You may have to tell them to use the 240 average from last year that you earned with resin. (By the way, great bowling! 240, anywhere, on any condition is seriously good.)FYI I wouldn't call it sandbagging, but, as I showed above, you have to be careful of the future.-------------------- "None are so blind as those who will not see."
quote:There is no rule keeping someone from using a ball in league. You can throw what ever you want. If you want to use a house ball in mix league...go right ahead. Anyone challenging you is going to lose. USBC has no rules to force you to throw a reactive ball over a urethane or plastic in league. I can''t imagine how that rule would be written or enforced. BALL POLICE??? Where are all the posters on here that state its the bowler not the ball.In your question with Urethane. You might see a dip in average, but I think the challenge you are looking for would be to go to something like plastic. I bowled first half of a year with Urethane on a THS. My average was about the same as with reactive. --------------------Always the last one to POST!
