Grassroots??
« on: November 30, 2007, 02:11:27 AM »
Maybe this is a dumb question, but what does "grassroots" mean, when the under approved equipment on their page?

Here's some of the stuff:
Lane #1
Global 900
Lanemasters/Legends
K&R Strikeforce (this is only bags etc.)

Is any of this equipment allowed to be use? If not, why would it make a difference if someone rolled in a K & R ball roller?

From the PBA site;

What changed from that equipment being using in years past? What's funny also is the K & R stuff. Say Bill Oatman wanted to use a K & R 6 ball roller for his "Hammer Equipment". He couldn't even use it?

Just kind of strikes me funny I guess.
