njv29, take my quotes and twist them all you want. I never said sport bowling is ruining bowling. For crying out loud there isn't enough interest in it to have to have any effect on bowling at all. I say for those like you that believe we need it to get some kind of integrety back in the game or make you feel better, it is ridiculous to think it is the answer. You called league bowlers who play on THS, "hack bowlers", you threw down the gauntlet.
You say you have experience in the bowling industry yet you don't even have the balls to enter a profile to list any experience!! I think you're just a soapbox climbing guy that loves to proclaim ideas about something he knows little.
Bowl in all the sport leagues you want, it'll make you feel great about yourself and that is fine. I will keep knowing that all the great bowlers (who can bowl on any shot) and put up all the great scores around the world are bowling on shots other that sport to do it. And, I'm pretty sure they don't need you or I to tell them that they are doing it on a scorable shot. If you had read my first post you would have seen thatI said I believe that the best lane condition is one that if you make a good shot you get rewarded. I didn't say an easy bumper bowling shot. Sport bowling doesn't necessarily reward you for a good shot and thats a fact. That is not what the average bowler wants.
