My numbers were:
Initial Velocity: 18.1 MPH (200-219 range - 200-209 and 210-219 were the same)
Velocity Range (consistency of speed): .7 MPH (210-219 range)
Target Range (Accuracy): 3.8 boards (200-209 range)
Launch Angle Range (Consistency): .742 (220+ range)
Entry Angle: 2.861 (170-179 range)
Initial Rotation: 270 (200-209 range)
Those numbers are consistent with what I average, with the launch angle and entry angle averaging each other out. Like the previous time I had a CATS analysis, one shot out of the ten threw my numbers a bit. I was encouraged by the fact that I improved in nearly every category over 2001, when I had it done previously.
My theory on the pathetic entry angle is that I was throwing the wrong ball for where I had to play the lane. Since I had my CATS analysis after I finished bowling singles, I had already dropped off all but one ball at the shipping booth, so I had no choice. The one I had (Animal Untamed, cover in box condition, pin beneath fingers - more of an early roll drilling) was set up more for playing up the boards, so it was not recovering a lot from where I was playing lane 81, which was around 13 at the arrows out to around 8 at the breakpoint.
OK, end of rationalization - back to the lanes to try to get those numbers better.
KOTM,
Your launch angle number, which falls between Nod's and mine, puts you into the 220+ category. FYI, 1.03 is listed as the average number for 220+.
