To make it simple for those who aren't siding with Merkins, the reason the "elitests" are so disgusted with the house shots is because what took them years, hours daily of dedication, thousands upon thousands of dollars for tournament/coaching experience, to acheive a great adaptable physical game can now be acheived by someone with 600 bucks to spend, fluke mechanics, and one year's worth of bowling on a house shot. The scores on these patterns will level out to be the same in such a short format as a league pattern. I've seen house bowlers look like deers in headlights if they were even to bowl a 6 game block on a house pattern. Once the transition hits around 3rd game and they have to make a lateral move away from the track, they might as well go home. I think the best course of action is not to fry yourself in one league session because you repeated 25+ great shots and only shot 660 while someone else stood 35 and hit anywhere from 17-4 and stuck all day for his first 800.
The reason the best bowlers are the best is because of their versatility and ability to score high and consistant over the long haul on any pattern.
