We had a question form a viewer that we wanted to answer:

Q) Some people a adamant about have side weight, or finger/thumb weight in their layouts. Does this really change bowling ball reaction?

A) This is a great question. We are still bound to bowling ball layouts based on the USBC rules for static imbalances. Basically, there can be no more than one ounce in any direction from the midpoint of the grip. Any studies have shown that static imbalances do not really affect bowling ball reaction. Watch this episode to hear us discuss it.
