Of course one could say those 4 balls sent to USBC could have been doctored as well

Additional balls were purchase after they checked out after the 4 sent to them were found to be over

And the going opinion is one of the other ball companies did it. Because they have the ability to test the Diff.

There are those that think the whole "Spin these" comment gives you a clue to who, "cough" "cough" Radi..."cough"

If it is a company someone is wanting to play hardball, though it could just a PO'd employee.

I wonder if this whole ordeal will have a Radical effect on Motiv....

Yeah maybe a ball war will breakout, like the old gas wars. Imagine Motiv putting out a line of high performance balls for $99 and doing comparison videos against the other companies top line balls.

I'm in. Add to that a voucher to redeem at any pro shop for free drilling (reinbursed by Motiv of course)

Yes, a box of 4 balls was sent to the USBC with a note to "Spin These". I am sure USBC got a hold of more to confirm the testing.

Where's the link to that article?

Do you (everyone, not just VDub...but including VDub) honestly think it's conincidence that this happened at/around/just after Motiv athletes took two major titles??

Not saying it isn't just a coincidence...but I'm very curious as to why the PBA is silent. I have a feeling at least Mr. Fach and Mr. Falkner have received a phone call from the PBA. I just have a feeling...that the PBA might be asking some tough questions about who knew what and when. All it takes is one Motiv bowler...to hint that they kinda knew...or that Motiv told them...and this goes from a Page 7 story only bowling nerds care about...to ESPN Sportscenter-worthy...Page 2 of the USA Today sports section.

Friggin Michigan.


They actually start a good company, in a factory Brunswick abandoned to send it's jobs to Mexico, and then they get one ****stick engineer that is like, "Well, if the limit is 0.060...then why don't we make it that?" I mean, if thy aren't testing the drinking water in Flint...are people really gonna give a **** about bowling ball static weight differentials?"

The whole "Spin these" story as far as I've been able to find is a just another rumor. The only thing you can find that says anything is that the USBC was doing spot checks and caught it.

Though that does sound unlikely, it could be. If thats not what happened, then most likely it was a company tipping them off.

Because the USBC would more likely listen to a company ( and maybe possibly a Motiv employee) tipping them off and taking it seriously, than they would just a proshop or ordinary bowler.

If it's a company, I'd bet on Radical. They seem to obsess on things like differential.

I am sitting back and waiting for the story to unfold. I am sure we will eventually get more details.

Aslan man you need to relax and go find another hobby. Plus your wall of texts never helps matters. Nobody wants to read your essays. Attack me I don't care, just relax man! Go relax and smoke one or something or whatever your preferable method of relaxation is.

Well, if you don't like people...go start your own bowling forum...DOHT!!....that already failed.



Yeah...wishing me away ...unlikely to happen...wish in one hand...*** in the other...see which one fills up first.

I post what I post. You seem technologically savvy enough to at least minimally be able to use the "ignore" feature. If people don't take advantage of that...then it's on them. Just cuz you're mad that your favorite ball company got caught cheating...don't take it out on me.

I hear Twitter has a word limit...maybe stick to that.
