Well it's the same as people who don't bowl local tournaments. If they don't think they have a chance to make money or at least get some of it back, they're not going to bowl. The brains have made competing so cost prohibitive and the reward is not worth the risk by a long shot, so no wonder people aren't going. People can try to cram prestige down my throat all they want, but it comes down to dollars and cents unless you're independently wealthy. I had some loon try to convince me Anthony LaCaze didn't care about making 40 grand at nationals a couple years ago because it was all about the eagles . . yeah right. People aren't going to go spend a couple grand on an "experience," when even bowling excellent may mean barely breaking even. Now if this was a PGA tournament where you could go finish last and still make 10 grand, it would likely be a different story.
These double burn clips online look god awful. Literally just trying to throw hard and straight Brooklyn. WRW Jr, you could tell was trying but it's just slightly outside his realm to loft from the lane next to him and carry.
It seems as if the best looks are those that can jam urethane from out with 500+ rpms on it and those that can get it 25+ feet in the air from in on the late blocks. Who would have guessed it?
