Where does the COF effect me as a bowler, or is it mainly something imposed on manufacturers?

The reduction of the COF will probably restrict the manufacturers from using the "snow studs" (particles) in future balls manufactured.

In any case we should definitely see less hook monsters and more tame balls.

I personally think its a small step in the right direction. Albeit it a very small step and a very late one. Maybe too late.
