Can you really notice a difference
« on: June 24, 2008, 11:57:30 PM »
I see all this talk on here about drillings and people noticing a big change from pin over ring to pin under ring or something similar. I see and hear this same thing all the time at the bowling centers as well.

To watch these guys bowl, theres no way they can even tell which board they hit, let alone what a little pin change will do....LOL !

Anyone else read these kinda post or here people talk about this and just wonder, WTF?

I know drillers/trainers who swear by the idea that this was "enough" until you average 190. But IMHO it is just a focus un execution, neglecting the technical and some intellectual aspects of bowling?


Exactly..Why would someone learn all these technical(balls) aspects and can't even throw the ball well enough to use the experience they have ?

REvans284, what part of my statement did you disagree with?  I stated even a player w/o high revs can still average 190 if they are accurate...that seemed to describe your fiance's game.  I said a 177 average bowler isn't very accurate because you still have to have 6 opens a night (with no doubles) to average 177.  I also do not thing picking  up a 7-10 two times shows that you are accurate...7-10 pick ups are lucky, PERIOD.  Big 4 pick ups also involve a lot of luck.  I would never judge the accuracy of someones game based on how many 7-10s they have picked up.

I also never said a 177 bowler was not knowledgable about bowling.  I said someone averaging 177 shouldn't snicker at other bowlers not being able to hit their mark 2x in a row.  I'm sure there are many bowlers under 200 who know a lot more about pin placements and the dynamics of bowling balls than I do.  I admitted earlier to not knowing a lot about drillings of balls.

I can understand where you are coming from a little better now.  The way I took your other post was that if you weren't a higher average bowler that you weren't accurate enough to tell the difference in reaction.  What I misinterperated was the gap in average you were referring to.  

I agree it takes alot of luck to pick up those spares (7-10, big 4), but its normal to see her make difficult spares multiple times even in a set such as wash outs, 5-10s, and even on a good day 4-9s if she leaves one without relying on any hook.  She uses her plastic for spares religiously even on some clusters, and while those spares (5-10 particular) aren't that difficult, it is when you don't rely on hook to convert them.  That simulates what its like on your sport conditions because its very difficult to hook at spares on that compared to the way most people do on house shots.  

I do agree that people who average lower do have more things to worry about than what other people are doing with their game (such as your point about hitting their targets as opposed to worrying about their own).  

Later,
