[Right, but The polished SCB is being marketed as the highest differential     USBC allowed ball.

The 15# SCB is the highest dif at .071, I believe the 14# xxcel &xxxcel have a .075 dif.

So is Lane #1 going to refund everyone's money that has bought a PSCB now?
If this turns out to be truly Banned!
I hope so because my customers are going to be pi$$ed off they spent so much money on a ball that they can't use in leagues!

Looks to me like the USBC copied the second picture right from Lane#1's website.  Lane#1 ought to sue the USBC for copyright infringement.

Be calm, (even though I wasn't put on the original FOS list), both of these balls will be OK and not "illegal"

I don't own any Lane1 equipment but if they outlaw some of there balls it seems like Lane1 would make some kind of deal with you for another ball maybe prorate the one you have and charge difference for a new leagal ball.

the reason that the Lane#1 SCB have been deemed nonconforming is because they have an RG Differential of.071. The maximum allowable RG Diff is .060. The USBC just recently changed that limit, that is why those balls are on the list. I can only imagine that is why the resy of the reactive and particle balls are on that list, as for the plastic balls, do I have to tell you why they are on there?

It don't make sense that USBC approved PSCB with .71 DIFF. Then ban the ball just like that.Take a look at the ad in Lane1 website and read it. Who is this USBCPRESREP if I got this name right and no profile as well. Maybe that if this ban is not true then someone is doing a Lane1 bashing.Perhap this person got beat by a bowler who use a SCB or PSCB. But this is my opinion. On other hand if this is true then brunswick better explain real quick on they used. I have not heard any thing about the Inferno line so these balls are safe from ban list.
I hate ten pins but love the game of bowling with just the right ball to take them out.

I hope this gets resolved (in our favor) soon. I bought a SCB a few months ago and had it drilled up. I threw it TWO FRAMES, and realized it was for a "floodier flood" than what I was standing before! I do see a use for this ball, so into the "reserve bag" it went. Furious will not begin to describe my feelings if I find out this stands up.

Hey folks... check the site again..

Both the 2002 AND the 2005 releases are on there now.

Along with the Power Rock, and the Arc Platinum.

I'm still betting it's the particles.

WOW... it sure would have been easier if they would just have taken the time to add why the balls on the banned list have been banned! I guess they didn't have the extra twenty minutes to add text to their pretty picture show.

Was the Reaction Arc Platinum different from the regular Reaction Arc?

The regular Reaction Arc only had a .045 diff. That falls well within the .060 limits.
