PA was using a SwitchBlade and Big Deal.  Loschetter looked to be using an Inferno (UI?  Not sure which).

I couldn't tell you what Scroggs or Voss were throwing.

I think voss might have been using an old tour menace or something close to it.  There were no logos from what i could tell and i've heard he has some almost custom balls, just some older amf stuff.

I saw a yellow pin on one shot.  Had to be the TNT.  Usually the TNT he throws most of the time has the logo above his thumb so it's point towards his chest.  That's why it's hard to see what he's throwing sometimes.  Plus Voss likes to take a black marker and color in the logos in his palm.  I guess he wants to see a truer read of the ball.

The RUMOR that voss uses custom balls is FALSE!

He can not throw anything that's not available to anyone else. I bowled the Worlds this week and saw him out in the truck a few times and saw him work out a ball or 2.

Erik, the rumor mill is turning and its been said that Hammer is changing the coverstocks on some of their balls, switch blade included, which PA was throwing today.  Check here http://www.ballreviews.com/Forum/Replies.asp?TopicID=81987&ForumID=73&CategoryID=2.  Oh yeah, good luck to you and the fellow huskers at nationals.

PA's switch is the new one that is comming out soon that has a more aggressive coverstock.
