Thanks, I've checked there...I've also checked the ABC list....no mention of it...

weird that if someone that well known is associated with it that there wouldn't be a mention of it somewhere...

If it isn't, can Ann Marie Duggan sell a ball that has not been approved be the ABC?




I could paint my initials on an aluminum foil ball and sell it as a bowling ball.  Being ABC legal has nothing to do with selling it.  Using it in sanctioned tournaments is a different matter though.  Every sports has illegal equiptment on the market and some of it is even promoted by famous people you just can't use it in any kind of competitive events.
