Didn't I see somewhere that the "new coverstock rules" wouldn't rule out any of the current coverstocks, so nothing will change there. New balls won't be less aggressive, they just won't be excessively more aggressive.
While I won't pretend to be up to date completely on how the balance-hole-vs-side-weight will shake out, but I predict the biggest change for most bowlers will be a bunch of people complaining that the new rule is the reason they didn't strike.
