Et all,
I have been bowling 40 years and have some success... highest average 243, highest series 878, won serveral state and city championships, never not caches in the Nationals. I have also had a proshop for several years although not recently. However, Ive been to several instructional classes, ball drilling/layout clases, Mo Pinel, IRTC and Kegel multiple times.
That said, I am not egotistical I just want to learn. And what I learned from Bill Hall in 25 minutes on that video is something new and what I believe to be industy changing. Will it be, depends on the users. Just because it is good doesnt mean it will be accepted. That said many of the points in most posts I have read have some points which I may contend is true. And after learning, measuring and trying I could have and probably should have invented it years ago. But he put the pieces together and that is whats new. It is even close to what I invisioned from seeing the pic of the ball with lines a few months ago.
All the nay sayers haver some valid points and Im not suggesting that everyone pay for the video. But not to try something because you dont want to or believe something when you dont even know the details seems a bit fixed on the current and not the potential for the future.
Im in my mid 50's and I look for everything. Sometimes they are good and others they are not. And despite I am not a proshop owner and more, I purchased this for me, my knowledge and understanding. And that is not typical that bowlers puchase something that proshops would be primarily intesested in. But, ill say it again, Im glad i did and would do it again. And I believe that getting better means staying current on as much as possible.
I was not trying to offend anyone so if you are please accept my oppologies.
