Using a Jackal
« on: March 31, 2016, 09:02:48 AM »
Last night in my USBC Sanctioned bowling league a bowler in the league was using his Motiv Jackal. I politely told him that the ball was banned and he risked losing his scores if he kept using it. He politely told me that those rules don't pertain to this league. That kind of bothered me because he has been a President of a league before and he knows the rules. I then talked it over with our current league secretary who also happens to be President of our local USBC Association and he said the same exact thing! I said how can you use a ball in a USBC sanctioned league that has been banned? He just kind of grumbled and walked away. Then another guy in our league, who happens to hold his PBA card, notice the bowler using the Jackal as well. He went right up to the Secretary and said the same thing I did. The Secretary said responded by saying that he knew and that he had taken care of it. Really? Because I watched the guy use it all night long and the Secretary never said a word to him. This angered a few teams and mind boggled me that the Secretary and President of our Association turned a blind eye to an obvious rules infraction. I'm not trying to be a big baby about this, but how can you let a bowler use a banned ball? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry about that.

You are 100% correct. I would argue though that Visionary is still using the React A Tack covers (or very familial versions) which is what was the base for the AMB Centaurs covers.

I don't know physics well enough, but you would think or want to believe that a ball with a greater diff to start has the potential to end with a greater diff than balls with lower diffs. I would think that it is tougher to get the dynamics out of a static core compared to a hopped up monster, like the Guru core, the Jackal core, etc.

People "cheat" in every league, every night...Polishing part of the ball, sanding in the track area only, illegally drilled balls etc....There is more cheating going on out there then a ball thats 1/10000 over in diff...Clean up your leagues before you start trying to clean up an industry.

Nobody is trying to clean up an industry...just trying to get through peoples head that it is not ok to disregard the rules, especially a blatant disregard Jman had in his league. Regardless of the reason, regardless of what anyone thinks, its the rule.
