The Grudge,
It seems like you know about a little of my past on Ballreviews. I have lodged some complaints about Lane 1 bowling balls. But what you didn't mention was that during the Lane 1/Brunswick era I was a total Lane 1 supporter. It was the change to Lane 1/Columbia that I didn't match up with and I called them out for their advertising.
Again you don't know much about my past because I played football for Navy, a member of the Navy boxing team in my early years and in my later years I was on the middle weight and heavy weight weightlifting team at the same time and captain of the Blue Navy bowling team. I know a little bit about the gym.
I've bowled a couple of PBA events and that was enough to tell me I didn't have the financial resores or the skill level to compete with the upper talent on the PBA tour.
So I ask now, what is serious about bowling. We can do our best, practice, but at what end. League bowling in just a past time for about 99 percent of us.
I've bowled with great senior bowlers in Detroit and other places around the world, but a smart person knows that most seniors aren't going to throw the ball 18 mph with a rev rate of even 300. Most seniors bowl three and out, especially if the lanes are dry. You get dry lanes and 60+ year old bowlers, for the most part, their bowling ball is going to roll/hook out or the ball will be uncontrollable. So I'm not saying the seniors should not practice or bowl on difficult shots, I'm just saying that a majority of the seniors need some head oil to help project the ball down the lane.
Life is serious, bowling is not.
