I have a Lord Field "Old School" urethane and it has a definite spot in my league bag. My summer sport shot league just started and I swapped out the urethane for pin up ball with surface but may need to rethink that in coming weeks.
I am a proud member of Bowlingboards.com bowling Forums and a ball contest winner.
The main reason Urethane costs more today is because they don't sell as many as they did back in the Urethane days.
When Urethane was king, they were makng bunches and everybody had one of them, so the cost was down.
Then resin balls appeared, they were higher priced at first. But as popularity increased and sales rose, the price came down some and Urethane production faded from the market.
Today while Urethane (which many Urethane balls are not true Urethane) is making small come back,The demand is still low so their still not producing them in the numbers they use too.
Add to that todays increased costs for materials, overhead etc. and the price for Urethane is naturally higher.
The use of moderned designed "cores" is just one minor factor in overall cost of the modern Urethane ball.
