The Premier Paradigm
« on: May 16, 2006, 12:00:34 PM »
http://www.bowlingball.com/Ball-4409/previously_viewed.html

bowlingball.com is selling them as a pro pin version, and they say it's USBC legal. so lets say i went into a USBC sanctioned tournament and they got my premier paradigm's id number thing ( i dont really have a premier paradigm though) and they found out it was an overseas ball would i get disqualified?

You shouldn't!!   I have a few overseas balls and have never had any issue with them at USBC events.  It might be different if you bowled a regional...but I have yet to do so myself.

I've had and drilled a few "pro pin" and "pro-cg" balls in the past and they work just fine and are typically not that much different than a regular ball to drill, etc.  The only exception is when there are odd top weights to deal with.

Bust since this ball is a strong asymmetric..."CG-No-Mattah"    It's really just a weight hole / static weight indicator.  Layout the ball according to the Pin and RAD...just make sure to weigh it out prior to drilling to make sure it can easily be made legal.

so drilling a pro-pin is not much different than normal pin? does a pro-pin react differently than a normal pin? and what do you mean by " just make sure to weigh it out prior to drilling to make sure it can easily be made legal " sorry for all the questions its just that i want this ball and want by june 11th (actually earlier)

You shouldn't get disqualified for bringing an approved overseas release to a tournament. I bring my Trauma Unit (another overseas release from Storm) to tournaments all the time, and I've never received a complaint about it...

Not that it matters, but does Storm add a fragrance to their overseas releases?  If so, does anyone know the fragrance in the Premier Paradigm.

Here ya go... Both instructions!

Pro-Cg balls kinda limit your choices as you will see... The top weight will determine the flexibility.
