Having resumed bowling after a few year layoff, I was naturally curious to see what bowlers have to say about the aggressive equipment of today.
I found it interesting to note that several reviewers indicated ball reactions that kept pins low to the deck.
I have always associated this with how the bowler got the ball to the hole and not the equipment itself.
On a few occasions I can recall respected experts telling me that forward axis tilt imparts a ball spin that causes pins to move off the lane more horizontally than diagonally.
This was at a time in the early to mid 90's when the elite bowlers I associated with were in hot pursuit of the ever so elusive "mid-roll" characteristic.
Even after studying the super slow motion videos showing this phenomenon, I do not have a good understanding of how this type of ball spin would impart the dynamics to effect horizontal displacement and was wondering if someone had an explanation for this.
Thank you,
