If X-holes are going to be banned, then I think there should be no static weight limitations any longer.  In asymmetrical balls, the mass bias plays a very important role in ball reaction.  Asymmetrical balls cannot be drilled label (for the sake of keeping static weights legal) as symmetrical cored balls without changing the overall reaction a significant amount.  

This was probably discussed before, but seeing as how the survey is playing out, x-holes just may be banned.

Cool! Thanks for the survey . I don't understand the "for tournament bowling only" question. Are you supposed to have an ENTIRE new arsenal JUST for tournaments ?


That would be utterly stupid if a rule as this would come into effect.
$800 on league arsenal and $800 on tournament arsenal = $1600
versus
$800 on league AND tournament arsenal.
Now that....is cool

So what are you saying, they will force everyone to plug the extra holes that were drilled to comply with the static weight to begin with? That makes no sense, and wouldn't it change how the ball reacts?
