Did they drop grassroots level?  Cause that's all they had before.

The PBA only advises their members when certain equipment are no longer able to be used in competition.  There is no other information other than what I posted.  Oh wait, there is.  You also won't be able to wear Linds too!

as im a bowler from australia i cant see the sense in not allowing anyone to use any bowling equipement that has been sanctioned by the relevant bowling associations


gonzo,

It's not and never has been a matter of "sanctioning",in the manner we normally use such a word, as of meeting certain crieris.

It is no more or less a matter of paying the apparently exorbitant fees to ALLOW their use. So, it's strictly a matter of money.

The good thing here in Sweden is that you can use any USBC approved ball in all leagues and competitions..

Ah, then crocheting is what needs tour level approval. OK, I'm safe.

And that is the case in all non-PBA sanctioned competition.  I've never heard of a USBC sanctioned league or tournament where some USBC-approved equipment is not allowed.

When i bowled in a regional on labor day weekend, the director said that Lanes Master cannot be used from October to December 2008. Starting January 2009 is when their contract begins. So you can start using LM balls in PBA Regionals in January.

Good! I'm starting to really like my Terminator Rebellion.  In addition to the fact that I still have a blank Kong and a Black Pearl to drill.
