What do you think would have happened if someone brought a 2012 hook monster back...

[Ball99999]

in time to a 1975 tournament?

Or even just a regular ol reactive resin?

Tournament officials would impound the ball and try to figure out why it hooked so much.

Given the lack of consistent oiling methods back then; a ton of splits and hitting like a pancake from burning up too soon.

The ball would not stay on the lane. Or hit very weakly due to limited oil on the older lanes.

In the hands of a bowling master(Like me) it would be 300 300 300 300 300,over & over again! I would be unstoppable and I would be a bowling GoD!

In all seriouness I would say in the hands of a Pete Weber,Norm Duke or Chris Barnes they problaly be undefeated and have monster 300 scores.

OMG! if you took such a ball back and a bowling company got a hold of it............................

since ball hook potential has increased with time, if they reproduced that back then and had 35 years to make it hook even more, by 2012 the ball's would be 500 on the bowlingball.com scale, then someone would take that back in time and the loop would continue! we would live in a world of infinite hook, the ball spins in circles going down the lane and boom!

for the sake of bowling! don't do it!!!

They would think you are a witch, and burn you at the stake.

I think it would cause the oil patterns to change faster and balls of today would hook without even having to do anything special with how the ball is drilled. All balls would end up drilled the same. All in all, bowling balls would be a hell of a lot more evolved and we would see bowling similar to what is available on Wii Sports.

Yes your right! by having a 2012 ball in 1975, by the time 2012 hit balls would be way more advanced, which means the ball taken back to 1975 would be even more advanced! its an endless loop of overhooking doooom!
