I don't get it
« on: March 03, 2005, 05:44:06 AM »
Just happen to be looking at the results after the first six games and I see those bums Rick Lawerence, Huge Miller, and Dave Traber in the top 24 while Patrick Allen among other good bowlers are at the bottom. It's hard to know that you work to perfect your approach and you manage to find a good bowler who defies the reason of physics leaving you scratching your head asking how do they manage to do what they are doing? How do they get their ball to hook or carry so well when the rotation, tilt, approach, or speed does not allow it? Guys, who is that one bowler that just leaves you scratching your head and asking how does he do that with THAT type of approach?

I didn't realize you where qualified to call those guys bums!! Lawrence has a title this year, do you?? I didn't think so.. LOL!!

It makes no difference how they get it done, as long as they repeat shots.. PA does ALOT of things wrong thru his approach but hre repeats shots and thats the key to being a good professional bowler..

If they only made a ball that would carry that da_n 7 pin (and I am right handed!!)

There is no one correct way to bowl.  If you can repeat shots, you will be one of the best.  Some shots are easier to repeat than others for most people. They give the biggest check to the guy who knocks down more pins than his/her opponents.

Kill the back row (or maybe this should read "make your spares, dummy")

Repeating shots, that was my point..it makes no difference how the pins fall, the person that knocks down the most, wins... period..

Sorry, didn't mean to repeat your point - you were just faster to the "submit" button. But hey, at least you have someone backing you up!

I agree with the previous couple of posts. Ive always said...

"You can throw the ball bad, as long as you throw the ball bad consistently"

I know thats simplifying things a bit but for the most part its true.

I don't think because you toss the ball 25 mph and hook the chit out of it makes you a better bowler then a Rick Lawrance, or any other stroker out there.. I thought the main thing is CONSISTANCE. beable to perform that same shot.. OVER N OVER.. To me.. thats a GOOD bowler...

Sure, there are bowlers I'd rather watch then rick lawrence or whoever, but if they challenged me to bowl pot games with me, I'd say "Hey what's that" and make a quick getaway.  It's not about style and looking nice, it's about repetition.

I hate to say this but bowling is not about "bowling". It's about scoring, period.

humm, house hack calling guy's who bowl for a living bum's?

it's not how many boards you cross and how many revs you have. it takes something else to compete at the level. Talent!


you remind me of every wannabe who swings a house shot and thinks it's actual all you and not the ball. please post a vid so we can be amazed at your greatness. use  
a pancake pearl urethane and really impress me!

please change your screen name to L.O.F.T. ( Lack Of F'ing Talent)
