Equipment Specifications - Bowling Balls
Reminder of the rule change for the 2020-2021 season that became effective Aug. 1, 2020.
Equipment Specifications – Bowling Balls.
No balance holes will be permitted. All holes drilled must be used for gripping purposes on every delivery. If a bowler does not have a thumb hole, there must be a scribed or engraved “+” symbol near the center of the palm to indicate the grip orientation. The ball must be delivered in the marked orientation (i.e. palm must cover the “+”). Bowling balls also 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.

Coronavirus Update
USBC recommends USBC state and local associations also postpone or suspend mass gathering events, meetings and travel in the best interest of public health.
While individual state and local requirements related to mass gatherings are evolving, USBC recommends associations be proactive in considering the well-being of their members.
USBC has developed a Frequently Asked Questions guide to assist our associations, leagues and tournaments with rules and procedures related to postponing or canceling events.
