Title: The Premier Paradigm
Post by: FastTracker33 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?

Post by: Goof1073 on May 16, 2006, 08:26:47 PM: 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.

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