BILL CHRISMAN – Chief Executive Officer

High Score Products was originally founded in 1985 by Bill Chrisman, to market a new product he had developed. Mr. Chrisman had noticed urethane bowling balls (a relatively new innovation in ball design) were porous and tended to soak the oil from the bowling lanes. The new product was marketed as U Clean / U Score Urethane Bowling Ball Cleaner™.

High Score Products remained a one product company until 1991, when availability of capital and time coincided with the opportunity to manufacture bowling balls. Mr. Chrisman’s experience in other industries and his long term involvement with bowling led him to believe that small quantity OEM private label manufacturing was a viable market being completely ignored by large manufactures. In the spring of 1991, Mr. Chrisman hired Keith Orton, a pioneer in manufacturing high performance urethane bowling balls, to set up a facility to manufacture bowling balls for High Score Products.

    Will the Global 900 line still be available. I like the Global 900 after dark pearl that I recently purchased.
    Also will the warranty for that ball still be valid?

  2. Roto Grip Rick says:

    Global 900 is owned by the SPI also. Just ran as a separate company. SPI had balls made in Texas like the Hustle line, Match Up line and urethane balls…

    Question: How hard would it be for me to get a balanced (no special center) bowling ball?
    I mean a bowling ball that, other than a special outer layer, is homogenous, without specific axis weighting, etc.
