And...it is a rosin bag, not resin. Resin has been used to obtain a better grip by many folks. It comes in many forms, often an almost soft-rock-like consistency. (think pine tar.)

A rosin bag, on the other hand, has the white powdery stuff that you can use on your hand. Applying the rosin bag directly to the ball is not legal.
No, the rule says resin. Rosin is basically a form of resin.

I believe the term "resin" is used as a generic description to cover ANY compound which may exist now or in the future without getting specific as to a certain composition(s) which may vary from rosin.
