Been bowling for years and i often here people say "x ball company is known for its carry" or "this ball does this and that", it is true im no bowling scholar, as i dont really understand rg, axis, tilt, speed, and how it all ties together. I carry a 205-210 average year in an year out and i only bowl 1 time a week in 1 league for 30 weeks out of 52. However, i bowl with someone who has a beautiful delivery, knows the game well, and it seems like he always gets tapped. i know everyone does here and there but this guy truely leaves 10 pin, 7 pin, all night long, he averages 195-200. it pains me to see my teamate continually leave corner pins when he has such a nice delivery and is very accurate.
so with all the hooplah and craziness of bowling balls, surfaces, late hook vs early, rg's, speed, axis, forget that for a minute and tell me is there a certain ball or ball company that has a reputation of getting you the best carry for 10's and 7's? Lane 1? Storm? brunswicks early zone balls in the mid 1990s? anyone have any emperical evidence or thoughts on this topic?
