Having a chip in the ball is only good if you also have a reader.Originally Posted by jimgilmore
Balls have a serial number on them, and most people have eyes.
all they need to do is make balls with chips in them like your dog is chipped. Then every ball would have an ID.

that sounds like an easy fix, just have the torny people mark the ball somehow or don't allow balls in the house if you have to buy one there anyway

I would just go to my benchmark ball , my 2fast. When all else goes sour on me out comes my 2 fast. For an old storm ball it performs well across all oil conditions and as long as I come out of the back of the ball 10 pins are easily makeable.

Each night....I already do that most of the time
Each league. That would be interesting but not to the masses and to grow the sport the masses have to be appealed to.

I'm ultra comfortable with just one ball. That's really all I use. I feel stoopid dragging in a 4/6 ball bag every week for just one ball. LOL. My Thug Life is so versatile. I don't need a spare ball or any of that.
I usually bring a 4 ball bag and a spare ball with me. Many is the time the ball I needed is an hour away in my living room. Last night we decided to go practice a bit. The lanes were so burned up I bowled the last few games with a ball that rarely sees the light of day. An old Hammer Taboo polyester spare ball. Perfect ball movement on the dry. I have many times thought of getting rid of that ball but it seems to fit in at the oddest times.

"This was the original question"What would happen if all leagues allowed only one ball? Who would it help or hurt the most?
New added question What pro bowlers would it hurt the most or least?
I'm not sure about the hurt part but I am pretty sure it wouldn't hurt Norm Duke much.
It would hurt the power players the most with the exception of Tommy Jones. The least would be the strokers like Duke, Jurek and my I can't think of a single stroker that's not on the PBA50 roster...

I don't believe that pro shops would be hurt by the one ball idea. People would still buy balls and practice to try to find "the right one" for the lane condition being put out. I think it would favor the bowler who learned how to play multiple angles, adjust speeds and hand positions. The one ball idea might encourage bowlers to practice better
