idk if its just the shows and people i watch but i'm seeing alot of pba bowlers use pin up either above bridge(mostly)or pin above ring is that just a better layout on sport conditions(besides real heavy oil) my favorite layout for my house shot is pin below ring finger but when i bowl on sport i use a lot of pin above bridge stuff and do well with it, is that just a coincidence or is pin up just better for sport?

I don't know if it is just the shows (and people I watch) but I'm seeing a lot of PBA bowlers use pin-up (above the bridge mostly or above the ring finger) layouts.
Is that a better layout on sport conditions (aside from heavy oil)?
My favorite layout for my house shot is with the pin below the ring finger, but when I bowl on sport patterns I use a lot of pin above the bridge stuff and do well with it.
Is it a coincidence or are pin-up layouts better on sport conditions?
umm...k
The answer is ALWAYS "it depends" ...
on the bowler's release/delivery
on the oil pattern
on the ball being used
One other thing to note is that pin up locations tend (I emphasize "tend", it is not an always situation) to increase the dynamics of the core. Ball reaction depends, again, in general, on 3 major factors:
1. The bowler's release
2.the coverstock of the ball
3. the core's potential dynamics.
