ESPN source: Top bowler sat out of a major US Open Bowling Championship in protest of a PBA decision to ban the use of new materials in plastic bowling balls. These composite bowling balls "bite" the surface and produce higher scores. The decision may have cost him the honor of Top Bowler of the Year.

Similar statements made in his behalf include:
1) The PGA wouldn't ban Tiger Woods new golf clubs that were made out of the same composite materials.
2) The USTA would not ban new composite racquets and return to wood.

These new composite light weight materials are being widely used across many sports fields.
Just something to think about before a composite bat replaces a wood bat in baseball.
