All Bowling balls used in any PBA France event must be found in the Registered Product List located here :
https://www.pba.com/registered-products

This will ensure that all balls have been approved and that all urethane-like balls have been manufactured at 78.0+HD hardness.

To access this page, go to PBA.com > Player Resources > Registered Products. Click on the specific bowling ball brand and then look for the name of the ball that is in question. If a bowling ball is not listed on that page, it is not cleared for use on ANY level of PBA tour competition.

Urethane and urethane-like balls that remain on the Registered Product list have been tested for oil absorption and verified to be a minimum of 78.0+HD hardness. (Quick reference of 2026 balls that fit this description are listed below).
