Overherd this the other night from a new hotshot bowler.
“These lanes suck and I’m never going to bowl here again. I’m going back to where they know how to do the lanes.â€
Other bowler “What is wrong with the lanes?â€
“I have a complete 8 ball arsenal. I stand on 30, laydown on 20 and belly to 5.â€
“I start with the 5 ball and if it hooks two much I go to 4 then 3 then 2 then 1. If it doesnt hook enuf then I go to 6 then 7 then 8.â€
“On these lanes if I use my 7 and miss just a little outside my mark it hooks two much but if I go to my 3 and pull it just a litte then it won’t come up. These lanes are stupid.â€
Other bowler “You are swing’n the ball too much and playing the wrong portion of the lane. Tighten up your line.â€
“That’s stupid, I have an arnsenal that allows me to play my line. I’m going back to where they know how to run the lanesâ€.
