1)  Wrist supports.  These should only used as a training aid and not allowed in sanctioned competition.   Unfair to those who actually have strong wrists and hands.

2)  High tech bowling shoes.   Unfair to those who can't afford them.

3)  The use of throwing a reverse hook.  (Backup ball)   Unfair that these people have the option to use the other side of the lane if they choose.   (Like Robert Smith when he won the Japan Cup.)

4)  Excessive ball speed.   Everyone should roll the ball at 25 mph or less.   (Not everyone is a freak of nature fireballer like Eugene McCune).   Those of us that roll at a 'normal' speed are at a disadvantage.

5)  Any ball that thumps over the thumbhole on spare shots should be declared illegal.  Not everyone can roll the ball end over end and not miss a single-pin spare in over two seasons like Walter Ray. 

6)  Any backswing that goes over the bowlers head should be declared illegal.   Most of us would dislocate our shoulders trying that.

So, everyone should use their thumb, wear house shoes, and gently stroke the ball up the 2nd arrow.   Have fun!

Ban automatic pin setters. Trust a pin boy to get the pins on spot, plus you'll be helping to create jobs! 

I forgot interchangealbe shoe slides

Ban outside bowling balls. There are plenty to choose from already on the ball racks. And shoes, the house has shoes you can rent. Think of all the extra space you would have without all the non-sense of the ball bags everywhere.

This thread is funny and not meant to be serious. Are you? Even with your "lol" I have to wonder. It's all in good fun and meant to bring a smile forth. Happy thoughts!

First, I love me some females....

But, I don't think they should be allowed during a tourney right next to the men wearing white yoga like pants with the little animal from the Arabian desert pop'n out. also, I never saw an Asian chick with a butt like hers.. She made the late Tony Reyes look from several pairs down. It's all tenpinspro and bowl400 for allowing this lol.....at least one guy on our pair shot a 300...

Oh dear God...   this one cracks me up.   I have to agree, pretty ladies walking around are a definite distraction for me when I'm bowling.

Years ago I actually tripped over someone's street shoes because I was too busy watching a young Brenda Edwards "wiggle" her way to the foul line.   (Brenda Edwards is a former Team USA member)

The sport needs some real athleticism.  My 3-year-old son weighs 32 lbs and throws an 8 lbs ball.  Therefore I suggest all bowlers must roll a ball weighing 25% of their clothed body weight.
