Helicopter dominance?
« on: February 18, 2010, 09:47:33 PM »
Hi guys, Just wondering if you have any helicopter style bowler in your area. I'd like to know their performance in your area. Any excellent bowler? What average do they have?

We have two locally, both score well. I bowl in a travel league with them and the helicopter style doesn't seem to be affected as much by the lane condition. Or maybe they are both good enough to overcome lane conditions.

i ve seen plenty back in china... or i should say, everyone if them except myself...

anyway, depends on the situation, if 210 will make u meet the cut in a tournament, then go for it, if u bowl on house shot and want to average higher than 210, forget it. the 5 pin will become ur worst nightmare
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

I got to bowl with 3 spinners (well that wat we call them here) that were students of my coach. This one guy has been bowling for 6 years and performance-wise he is top notch. Accurate and powerful. We could practically hear the pins cry in pain.

The pin reaction on impact is so much different. Power hook bowler causes the pins to splash like grenades exploding, a decent spinner impact is somewhat like blades flying across everywhere.

pretty amazing to watch. but i still like to see my ball hook
