Bill Taylor spent millions of his own money developing none oil lanes. Nobody interested.
Pro's bowling on heavier pins will further destroy the image of the pro bowlers as there scores will come down even more compared against house hacks.
If I dont throw todays equipment against someone who does I cant win NO MATTER how much better I am. Todays technology is that important.
I know of several bowlers, good bowlers, who quit bowling because of technology and how easy the game became for them. Granted these guys are the exception but even so, the solution(s) for the woe's of bowling should include these bowlers. We certainly should not be loosing the good ones.
If you dont believe it is bowling balls then drill up a white dot and bowl. If you can average the same then you are truely a great bowler. If you can average within 20 pin you might be a great bowler. (I know there are exceptions to this but I am talking about the masses).
There are so many miss stated facts within this debate (and every other debate on this topic) people simply believe what they read or hear. The bottom line is the greatest, GREATEST bowlers in the world all agree that integrity is a primary culprit. And who are we, the mediocre beleive we understand the issues at hand. In fact, the better you become at this "sport", the more you will realize it. The bottom line is who do we want to be leading the charge in returning bowling to , the best or the masses who dont understand it.
Dont get me wrong this topic is about scoring, but there are many issues that need to be resolved. Integrity is just one issue and until some real studies have been done we dont know the priority of the issues. But without a doubt, integrity is one and let us not forget it. And just because the masses like the scoring pace does not make it right. Period.
