No more like 12 at the arrow and 5 at the break point. He is using the power swing on the shark pattern and the same line.

I thought Plugged balls were not allowed on the PBA tour?

Using a plugged ball is fine. Here is the rule directly from my PBA rule book:
11.8 Plugged Equipment. Plugging material may be used in accordance with
current USBC specifications. No foreign matter may be placed within the plug area, and all equipment shall otherwise comply will PBA regulations
Ah well it must have been updated,then again not hailing from the US or bowling on the PBA tour it was not something I would have come across.
So how rigorou are the PBA in checking equipment,especially plugged balls? I have a couple of books that mention about Plugged balls being plugged with all manner of substances,having dense materials underneath a layer of legitimate plugging material and the old "Soakers" used "Back in the day".
If they check such things a lot its a good job I will probably never bowl a tour event,as having got most of my equipment pre owned I would never get out of the bowl!

I don't see that being a problem with the exempt tour.. Regionals "might" be a different story.. But then again, I would hope integrity would keep all of the PBA members honest..

Rules from the USBC also doesn't allow any subtance on the ball gut you still see pros and other bowlers banging their rosin bag over the holes then wipe it off. Now even wiping the rosin off the ball is illgeal
Well here in the UK we are now not allowed to use any products which emit dust such as hand conditioners/grip sacks etc in the players/seating area,which as I am sure some of you are aware would be a right pain in the butt in bowling alleys that get hot or for bowlers like myself,who have trouble with their grip sometimes.
Also there is a rule in place whereby you cannot alter the surface of a ball once a tournament has started,even between blocks. Thats fine for those that can afford to bring lots of balls with varying surfaces to the tournament but what about those,such as myself,who cannot afford this luxury?
Makes you wonder sometimes if the people who run bowling know the first thing about bowling themselves!

Just curious since Barnes is under contract with Columbia, how does he get away with throwing a Viz-a-Ball? I mean I know he has the contract with Pepsi too, but is there something stating he can throw that even though Columbia makes plastic?
--------------------
"Typical House Bowler"
its part of the pba advertising. certain players i think are REQUIRED to throw branded vizaballs like the pepsi, CLR, or Lumber Liquidator balls.

I actually own a Storm Viz-a-Ball. The ball is obviously made by Brunswick, due to Brunswick has the Viz-a-Ball process patented. But, because it is a sponsor ball, they are allowed to throw it. Although, if you are not sponsored by the company, you cannot throw that ball. I know a bowler who bowled the US Open with a white sanded Viz-a-Ball cause he was not authorized to throw it.
