I will never become another piece inside the paralytic construct I hate.

From the Artical  
quote:
Did You Know?
Missing just one single pin spare in a game will cost you 11 pins in score? Over the course of an 8-game qualifying block, a bowler who misses one spare per game will throw away nearly 90 pins in score.


So what does it mean if a bowler converts all his spares but fails to make the cut by 90 pins?

Lol.  That just tells me that if I would have made all of mine and not miss at least 3 per game, I would have made the cut at the last regional.  Yeah.  Nice.

It means he should spend more money in practice and less on tournaments.  If you can't strike, you can't win, even if you do convert your spares.

However if you can strike but cant convert you too should practice(maybe this is why I practice so much)
