I've been noticing ( for a while ) that lots of people are/have been posting about how their scores and averages have gone up all because they bought a new ball. About how the ball is so great and it does things my old one wouldn't, and the carry is fantastic.
Here's my question: Why post about your scores and your average going up WHEN YOU DIDN'T CHANGE A THING?
I mean, you're no better than before. You don't have a better release, you don't hit your mark more often, and you miss just as many spares as ever, yet you brag that you scores and average have gone up because you bought another ball that strikes FOR you more than your old one did. IS THIS REALLY SOMETHING TO BRAG ABOUT?
I've gotten over how technology has changed/is changing the game. I understand that scores are going to be higher than ever. What I want to know is, WHY BE SO PROUD OF AN INCREASE IN YOUR SCORES WHEN
YOU DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING and YOU HAVEN'T IMPROVED AT ALL? ALL YOU DID WAS BUY A STUPID BOWLING BALL!
By all means, take advantage of the technology available, just QUIT BRAGGING LIKE YOU ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING! If you sucked before, YOU STILL SUCK, you just got a ball capable of helping you get around that fact.
C'mon guys, get real. Quit bragging about how your scores are so much higher than before because now you have "BRAND-X" in your bag instead of "BRAND-Y" because, if that is the reason your scores are 20 pins higher, you are WAY TOO BALL DEPENDENT.
