200+ average bowler question
« on: February 29, 2004, 06:26:09 PM »
To all the bowlers that have over a 200 average. I have three questions for you.

What is your axis rotation?

What is your rev rate?

If you could have something different what would you want?

My guess is that most bowlers who average over 200 all have rev rates in the 300+ range and that axis rotation is in the 45-60 degree category.

Now I know that there are a few of you that average very high that don't fit into that category but I am wondering what the majority are.

Let's see those replies!

I have no clue. Like Bob, if I can find a CATS at Reno I’m going to get measured.

Axis Rotation – Probably no more than 30%.

Rev rate – Not a clue. Would guess in the 300 range. (ksucat would probably say I’ve got 25 )

I would like to be able to get additional tilt and rotation so that I could spin the ball thru the heads better when the get drier. When the lanes get fried I have difficulty projecting the ball down the lane. My shot wants to hook up too soon.

I averaged over 200 yesterday for our tourney so I guess I can answer this question, but normally I couldn't.  

Rotation - 16.2 degrees

Rev Rate - 162 rpm

Something different - throw ball like Rick Leong.

Are you sure you want to throw like Rick????  lol  I bet his rev rate is half of yours!!!!!  Hope he doesn't see this.  Rick's one hell of a guy.

Axis: 45-60
Rev Rate: 320

Nothing I'd really change about my specs.  More versatility and revs would always be nice, but not necessary.  I just need to work at better consistency.  When I'm on, I'm consistent and fairly accurate.  When I'm off, I couldn't throw the ball in the ocean.

Axis Rotation-45-60 degrees
Rev Rate- 350-400(when i really jump on it)
If I could change something it would be the ability to read transition better im tired of first game 240-260, second game 180-200+, 3rd game 250-280.

Axis of Rotation (angle of rotation in relation to line) is between 10 and 30 degrees.  Generally between 25-30.

Tilt: 10-15 degrees.

Rev rate: Clean normal release: 340-360.  Hard release 390-410. Soft Release: 290-300.

Speed:  Normal 16-17 mph.  Max: 21 mph.  Slow 12 mph.

What would I change?  Release consistency.  I would like to have a more consistent release.

I'm going to use the CATS in Reno in June, so I'll be able to answer then.  I wouldn't know my rev rate, but I've been compared to Mark Roth.(Just the revs, not the total package )

I'm not totally sure of my rev rates or degrees.
I am sure that what I would like to change is to not be 200+ avg. so that I can get some handicap!!!
