Found out that for the plastic ball tourney that the pros are using plastic all week (they get 2 balls that they can use for the week). The tourney does not count for points for the exemption but it does count for the money title. Enough of the players put up a stink about it so it didn't count.

I think I saw that the TQR will allow reactives though, which stinks. Probably because the PBA is providing the plastic balls, and they can't provide balls for everyone that wants to get in the TQR.

I would think that they could just tack on a few dollars to the entry fee to make up for the balls.

I am guessing each bowler will have a Geico ball and a Denny's ball smile

Anybody have predictions for who might win this? WRW comes to mind first, but I'll take Michael Haugen Jr. since he throws it so straight most of the time even with reactives.

Don't count out the high rev players. They're going to get the ball to move more than the other guys, and they'll generate a lot more pin action.

I take WRW. He has done it with any type of ball already. Most others used high end balls in their PBA career.

I think that WRW and Duke will have a shot just because of how accurate they are. TJ and Robert Smith will have a chance because like Lefty said, they generate a ton of revs and pin action.

revs dont mean as much on plastic balls. they go straight. WRW has played the same line with plastic balls before reactive was even available.
