Yeah, it's a far cry from the days they used to "black out" the names on balls for T.V.

I wonder if either company will place it on their website saying that the last PBA winner was using their equipment.

Yeah, I agree. Bowling really is shooting itself in the foot by not allowing the public to know what balls are being used.

It would be a win-win situation for both the ball comapanies and the sport itself, to let that info out there!

With his thumb and fingers .... <rim shot>!

He is not forced by anyone or anything to throw only one brand of ball.

yes p.a. started with razor on cheetah and a t road solid on the shark, then he moved to the blue vibe on the cheetah and and the rapid fire on the shark.  Bill oneil was throwing two different companies sort of too from what i could tell he was throwing the hot sauce on the shark and the from what it looks like the new ebonite magic on the cheetah.  Both of them were throwing two different companies and both free agents.

I would have to dispute that. Never could make out what Barnes used on Cheetah but an all black U2 with neon green logos would be hard not to spot. I did hear that he used one during the week but I don't think he did for the show. And I've seen a Magic in person and it looked just like what O'Neill was throwing.

Buddies corrected their thread. Barnes' other ball was an Arch Rival and O'Neill had an Ebonite Magic.

For those who asked about "What's in the bag?" - they did this on the broadcast when Brunswick was a sponsor.  It was only done for players that were using big B equipment.  Back then, there were more guys on staff (e.g. WRW, Barnes), so you would get lots of "What's in the bag?" segments.  Basically, it was a Brunswick commercial.
