Has anybody thrown or seen these on the lanes yet? I was bored and browsing through bowlingball.com and one of them popped up at the bottom of my search results list. Never heard of them before and it looks like they just started making balls for the American market this year.
Some of the cores look pretty interesting and not too generic. Of course the price point is probably their main draw right now, but I don't really care to much about that. I haven't found a website for them yet although this is in the description on the balls listed:
Although Professional Bowling System (PBS) is a new player in the United States bowling market, we are not new to the bowling industry at all. For decades, PBS has been a major bowling manufacturer and distributor across Asia. We have designed and produced High Performance and Polyester bowling equipment for many of the major U.S. bowling brands - driving many technology and production advancements. And, as a key global distributor, we continue to help U.S. manufacturers reach the ever-growing Asian bowling market. From advanced Research and Development, to in-depth consumer analysis, PBS creates the bowling equipment that people need in today’s modern game.
Here's the link to the ones available on bowlingball.com:
