THE SKILL ENVIRONMENT: BALLS

To level the playing field, competitors are each limited to one PBA Skill 2.0 and one PBA Skill 3.0 ball

PBA® Skill 2.0 (plastic)

PBA® Skill 3.0(urethane)

Both versions contain the same low-differential core (0.009), leaving the bowler

responsible for the ball's motion while coverstocks reduce flare and oil absorption.

SKILL BALLS - Not Just For Teen Masters

The PBA Skill bowling balls are the perfect compliment to every serious bowler's arsenal. They are excellent control pieces for dry lanes and/or low volume sport shots, broken down and "choppy" lane conditions.

91.4% of Teen Masters bowlers believe the Skill Environment helps them in regular competition

A 2014 Junior Gold title was won using the PBA Skill 3.0

A 2014 USBC Youth Open title was won using the PBA Skill 3.0

THE SKILL ENVIRONMENT: OIL

Because ball flare and oil absorption have been reduced, low-volume oil patterns are possible:
