Another 900 series Friday...
« on: April 22, 2012, 11:46:56 AM »
Another 900 bowled in CA....
 
So what would happen if in golf the pros kept playing 7400+yd courses and all local clubs were changed to Par 3's?....wonder if people would still care about golf very much.  I mean would anyone appreciate a pro shooting 65 if everyone and their brother that could hit it in play could shoot 70?


Little known fact:  In Russian "Hope" and "Change" translate to "Tax" and "Spend"

I am saying as the number of elite bowlers across the world increases we will see many more than a 900 every 1.5 years.

 

I am saying start to expect to see one every 5 months, then one every 2 months.  I am speaking across the world.

 

Again, the chance of an average bowler doing it 900 are remote.  It hasn't been done and WON'T be done.  An average bowlers strike ratio of maybe 3 to 4 a game make it a mathematical impossibility.  Frankly if a bowler only averages 6 strikes a game in will probably never happen for that bowler.

 

It can only realistically happen to very good bowlers on very favorable conditions when they are hot and averaging in the recent hot streak close to 9 strikes or above per game.

 

Tell me of the 201 bowler who has done it?  Or of the 190 bowler who has done it!  Almost all have been very very very good bowlers.  Also usually powerful strikers!   The elite.

 

Take your worldwide elite, add all their series thrown and then calculate your percentages.  Also throw out their sport leagues, it won't happen there either.

PS as the pro tour dies and more and more gifted bowlers are at home and not on tour and bowling on top hats more 900s will be thrown also.

Friend of mine told me of one shot in Vegas over weekend and that an 18 year old shot one in league he bowls in Norco, Ca. this past Fri. My best in 18 straight to start a night. I feel anyone who consistently hits the pocket with a good roll is very capable of shooting 900. My brother once told me he had never seen anyone hit the pocket as much as I do. Maybe someday but it's all about getting the carry. Right now I don't see it from me since I've been throwing too many corners.

As to the statistical odds of bowling a 900, does that take into account the skill factor of the bowler or the difficulty/easiness of the house?
 
Are 900's only being bowled in the USA?  Does that mean USA bowlers are more skilled?  With some 3 million league bowlers in the USA and some 10 million competitive bowlers worldwide, how many are being bowled in other countries?   (that data was from about 2003 bowl.com, I can't find the current data on their so user friendly website)
