more young guns in leagues now???
« on: May 06, 2005, 08:49:45 PM »
Has anyone noticed over the last few seasons more youth leagues forming and more younger competitors in mens leagues now?  i look around my house and see more and more younger bowlers with more athletic talent and better training raising the level of play in our leagues.  This is good overall for the house as there are more honor scores shot and this attracts more bowlers keeping our leagues full up.  I'm just wondering aloud if my house is the only place this seems to be happening and also could these younger athletes driving up the scores be causing USBC to make some of their suggestions as to ways to keep scoring in check???  I enjoy watching some of these young guns and enjoy the challenge of shooting against them and I see it as a plus that we have a lot of diversity in our leagues.  It's great that there is a lot of knowledge to be gained and with the diverse group we have it would seem that everybody has someone to relate to that can help with their game.

I am a youth bowler. I move left and throw it "to the ditch" on the left. I will disagree in saying that most youth bowlers like that can't throw well on tougher shots, actually I would say the opposite. Atleast for myself and my other friend which throws quite like me. If we have a heavier harder shot we are better off. We MUCH prefer being able to square up the ball, but naturally we have more hand and it makes playing tighter harder. But when theres a tough shot and we can square up the ball we do much better. I hate easier house shots with fluffers who can just throw out to 5 and it's okay.
