    Yeah I am not a user there just an observer. They certainly are not newbie friendly. If I had found their site before BB I would probably be golfing now

It just so happens that I was talking with a friend of mine who is a moderately successful senior tour bowler and told him about the site and their views. He brought up an interesting point: as far as either of us can remember, no National PBA Title has ever been won using the equipment that they tout as being the best out there.
    Can't speak for any other tournament, but in June 2010 Bowling This Month, Mo claimed his PBA plastic ball layout lead to the title for Brian Zeisig in the 2009-2010 Mark Roth Plastic ball tourney, which I believe would qualify as a National PBA Title.

    That would be a layout, Rob said equipment. Most likely meaning a Radical ball which is the brand BC promotes over all others.

    Right handed Stroker, high track ,about 13 degree axis tilt. PAP is located 5 9/16” over 1 3/4” up.Speed ave. about 14 mph at the pins. Medium rev’s.High Game 300, High series 798

    Well it's kind of hard for their brand to win when they aren't paying anyone to use them on the tour.

    They try to claim their correctness by means of precedence (it has been said), and educational titles.

    When they are wrong, and someone tries to correct them, they use all of the tactics available to them to protect precedence.
    I would agree. There are some guys there that are knowledgeable but you have to be willing to swallow the whole thing hook line and sinker to fit in

    That was what was suppose to be so great about Radical being a Brunswick company along with DV8. All those staffers and not a one has chose to use a Radical ball. Enough to at leat cause curiosity.
