Been out for over a year, and have a question

[drlawsoniii]

Hey all,

I've been out of bowling for over a year due to a motorcycle accident. I remember reading something prior to my accident about balance holes becoming illegal. Can someone give me the cliffs notes version of what if anything I will need to do as a RH bowler (one handed) with 4 balls that 3 currently have weight holes?

Thanks,

Rob

Here's the FAQ's on the new rule changes this will tell you:

excerpt:
What is the new static weight rule exactly?

Starting Aug. 1, 2018, bowling balls without a balance hole weighing more than 10 pounds will be allowed to have up to three ounces of static side, thumb or finger weight and up to three ounces of top or bottom weight.

Bowlers still can have a bowling ball with a balance hole until Aug. 1, 2020, but any balls with a balance hole must stay within the current static weight specification of one ounce for finger, thumb or side weight, and three ounces for top or bottom weight
