A New Ratio- Does It Mean Anything?
« on: June 06, 2009, 07:31:06 AM »
We all talk about the many balls we own and use. Perhaps the ratio of balls to average means something, perhaps it does not. I know good bowlers who only use One ball, and some mediocre bowlers who carry a half dozen!

I have 5 balls I use depending upon conditions and currently average 205 in our summer league.

205/5= 41

What's your ratio of balls to average?

Don't count balls that are old, just sitting around at home or NIB, not drilled yet. Only count the ones you use on a regular basis.

217/6(league balls)=36.166

I don't think this will show much... If anything I would use it to determine if you have too many balls. Like maybe shoot to have a ration over 25 or something?

Last summer was 229/2 - 114.5 Blue Vibe and spare ball.

This year on 3 PBA patterns and 1 round of THS was 202/9 - 22.44 ack!

It was on Shark, Cheetah, and US Open though. Had to include 2 extra extreme balls.  202/7 - 28.86 sounds better.
