One ball only
What would happen if all leagues allowed only one ball? Who would it help or hurt the most?

I would love to play in a league where you can only use one ball.

I agree 100% with Mike White, it wouldn't hurt me in the least bit to have to use
only one ball. The first 5 weeks of summer league I've only been using my Storm
ReignOn that I won on here a year or two ago as my first ball and as my spare ball
also.
I decided to just flatten it out at all of my spares and I'm even making 10 pins with
it now as my old plastic T-Zone spare ball decided to crack so I just junked it.

Who will it help --- Those who want to get better because they will have to work on their game to get better. It could also help coaches get more clients who now have to learn to bowl vs just going out and buying hook in a box
Who will it hurt--- Those who carry a high average because of easy shots and hook in a box. And as mentioned above manufacturers and pro shops
Still love the game but had to quit because of my left leg amptation
High game 299 x 5 High sanctioned series 805 (1989)
Need a bit of clarification...one ball for the whole night? or one ball for the entire league season. If it was for the night, I don't see ball manufactures-pro shops being hurt much. It would better the bowlers as we would have to pick a ball for the night and make it work. But you could always try a different ball the next week, so some bowlers would still want an arsenal and then some. For the entire league, probably wouldn't get many takers as we all seem to be ball hoarders and people get bored too easily nowadays.

High Series - 704; High Game - 290 (a long time ago) Current Average - 150
It would help the bowlers with the right one ball, and hurt the bowlers with the wrong one ball. This is a great thread for anyone who wants to go back to 1985. For anyone who is really involved in modern bowling, it is a ridiculous question.
It would hurt the sport and PBA as ball manufacturers are the financial lifeblood for the sport now.
Wouldn't that mean house shots only? Didn't the multiple balls cause the change in pattern?
In my bag: Roto Grip Haywire, Ebonite Cyclone Gamebreaker, Brunswick danger zone vintage, Brunswick C-system Maxxed out and Columbia WD. High Game 300 (x3) high series 790...still searching for the 800.
Rob nailed it. Not every ball is the right ball even if your standing in the right spot and have the right line. I will agree that a lot of bowlers take to much advantage of modern balls to try and stay in favorite spot rather than playing what the lane is giving but if you've ever bowled a high end men's league with 5 man teams and see the way a pattern gets destroyed after 2 games your going to run out of room quick unless your speed dominate if you are playing any type of aggressive ball regardless of how far you can move.
