1. Since early days of Bowling all bowlers used a plain rubber ball with a non-dynamic label layout. Bowling was about the bowler, not the ball. 2. One of the greatest arts and challenges of bowling is the thumb release. This is one of the main factors that makes bowling hard. By going two-handed or one handed thumbless, this art of the thumb release is eliminated thus reducing the difficulty of bowling. 3. Urethane bowling balls do not get softer. They only measure softer due to oil absorption into their cover which lubricates them causing the durometer needle to more easily penetrate them and show a lower hardness reading. If the same ball that measures softer is resurfaced and deoiled with 100% isopropyl it will measure back to the hardness it had before it was thrown down the lane.

Thank you for the knowledge! So do you support the recent changes proposed by the EBF? Or would you like to see bowling return to its roots with a focus on traditional equipment and techniques?

@@BowlingLife_eu I would like to see Bowling return to its roots with a focus on traditional equipment and techniques. The Bowlers from the "Golden Age of Bowling" mid to late 1960's , used non-dynamic balls on fairly slick and non-reactive lanes which required them to maintain an extremely high level of consistency, accuracy and precision. Creating "area" or "margin of error" was not possible. Bowlers had little to no control over the bowling condition. They could not use oil absorbing balls to break the lane down and make the condition easier and scoring higher. I would like to see a return to this type skill bowling.

PH is one of the greatest balls every created. But is also one of the worst balls ever created just by the fact it forced almost everyone to use it or just take an L. On rule changes, in general they are good thing to have in sports mainly to make things change so the sport can be a sport. Its almost always used as a way to keep the integrity at its purest form as much as possible and about leveling the playing field across multiple factors, in this case sponsors and manufactures.
