On a semi-related note, we had a tournament here a few months back that attracted a handful of guys who regularly bowl the regional tour, including at least a couple with multiple cashes. May have been a titlist in the bunch but I can't say for sure about that.
Anyway, we laid down a moderately difficult shot. Ratio was probably 4-to-1 or 5-to-1, but the two things that made it most difficult were high volume and length (45 feet).
I found it interesting that, on forums such as PBA.com and sometimes this one, that guys with their card are banging the drum for tougher conditions, standard balls, banning resin, etc. But don't you dare invite a bunch of them to your tournament and lay down a more difficult shot, because guess where most of the b*tching was concentrated? Do as I say, not as...
