So they want to do this now. Akin to closing the gates AFTER the horses left the barn. Stellar Chad & USBC, just fu**in Stellar.

I left bowling & lesser shenanigans 25 yrs. ago just got back into it last year. Oh well, short lived return. What a bunch of total ass clowns!!!!!

I'm scared to buy anything right now because I don't want whatever I buy to get wiped off the ball market.

Anything you buy now will still be legal, according to that Facebook post. I’m sure grandfather rules will be in effect, just as they are with the .060 diff rule.

I know we all hate the USBC, but they haven’t even announced the changes yet and we already have one guy in this thread saying he’s quitting...

So would that mean Storm has to quit making the 16lb Hy-Road (diff barely legal today)?  Going to be a rush on balls if they do this.  Not sure why we need whole sale changes except maybe at the pro level (need prize money if going to cut out the ball companies then).  Pretty much its still the best bowler who wins and not the richest.  Plenty of ten year old balls whoop ass.  Hell the ball companies are rereleasing many of them.  Little late to put the reactive genie back in the bottle.

Exactly ^^^^^^^^^^^

Tbh, USB’s needs to put A LIMIT in the AMOUNT OF SURDACE TEXTURE that’s applied to a bowling ball as well.....   Imo, I believe 1000, or 2000 (Along with reducing the diff) is plenty enough abrasive to dig in the oil.

So while many won’t like this or these changes, I believe some sort of integrity would be restored in the game just my .002.

Skill doesn’t affect me at all; I ha e PLENTY of that. What is some of the past bowlers’ of all skill levels complain about? (Including the pro’s)   DULL BALLS THAT BLOW UP A PATTERN TOO QUICKLY!

If a pro has a problem with these 500 grit dull pieces that AFFECT the trajectory of the path is goes down (and how soon),  Then who are YOU or anybody else to say it’s not valid in some fashion?
