More Diff and the cover did change to 2 parts pearl/1 part solid. I think what the real point behind the ball was that Belmonte isn't on fire lately like he was because the Hy-road isn't getting it done for him so he tried to modernize it. In all honesty, the ball probably rolls nicely but we'll see.

The 2014 and 15 Hy-Roads were pretty good from my observation. No experience with a 16.

Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, you poor man. How can you not see how much greater the ball will be after they change the name and the logo on it.  I mean, won't that nake ALL the difference?

 You ask a question.  You wanted to know if, since bowling is dying, why are they pumping out more and more balls?

 Answer: If most people had money invested in a cow, and knew it would soon die, would they hold on to it, or sell it as fast as possible?

 That question has a similar answer to yours........................................

 The ballcos dont care about bowlers, nor do they care about bowling.

They better care; without bowling or significant numbers of league bowlers (open bowlers don't buy $150 - $250 balls!), they die or go the way of Lane#1.

Juggernaut,

As a consumer how are you getting screwed and why does it matter how many balls are released?  As far as I know you don't own or are involved with a pro shop or a distributorship.  No one is forcing you to buy anything.  When you are ready to purchase do your research and buy the best available product to fit your needs.  Just like buying a television.  Does it matter how many different models of a 65" TV Sony or Samsung makes or how many Best Buy carries?  No, you figure out how much you want to spend and buy one with the features you want.

And if you are going to blame the decline on competitive bowling on ball manufacturers, stop now.  We both no they aren't the problem.  If you think people like Bill and Barb Chrisman don't care about bowling then this isn't even worth a discussion.

There is no pride in ownership anymore, we all are looking for the next ball before the holes are punched in the ball we just bought.  It's like cell phones, you buy one and two months later a new one comes out and we can't wait until we can upgrade lol.  The manufacturers are taking advantage of consumer behavior nowadays.  PSO's have it tough as they have the classic devil & angel on their shoulders, one saying "oh this is the ball for you" and the other "you really don't need this ball" while trying to run a business. 

So a taped bowling match vs a live basketball? You know they are going to air the one that will have 4 times as many viewers, right?

many viewers will still watch bowling over hoops grew up watching bowling in the 70's and 80's had millions of viewers  watching saturday shows on abc with bo and chris

if every usbc member watches bowling, which they don't, we'd have about a 1.5 million viewers.  I bet the basketball game cleared that with ease in just the local market.
