Also has to do with the fact that 97% of people that watch don't care.  Most people that watch bowling are casual league bowlers.  They don't own tournament arsenals, and wouldn't understand the first thing about layouts.

Think of other sports too....do they say what kind of clubs Tiger is hitting?  We know what club...but not what type?

"Johnny he's using his Nike Sasquatch 10.5* driver with a Mitsubishi Diamana 83g X Flex shaft"

Most fans in both sports don't care.....

Mentioning the balls they're using on TV rhymes with "free advertising", something that is anathema to the PBA.
