State of Bowling-Shooting a Mega-Series
« on: September 26, 2013, 10:36:40 PM »
What's everyones take on so many Mega-Series (850+) being bowled lately. Within the past 2 weeks here we have had an 876 shot by a 2handed pheonom, an 867 by a local standout and an 856 shot by a 2finger no thumber.  Is it the conditions are too easy, technology that good, or what do you think. Don't get me wrong these bowlers are scratch bowlers and always put 2-3 of these series up a year, the 2 hander I think is averaging now 261. He just shot a 783 last night, just average. What does it take to roll one of these high scores. I know good pba regional guys whose high series is a low 800 and never got close to the monsters these guys are putting up. So my question to everyone is what do you think it takes to consistently roll Mega-Series.

Another factor is the decline of the 5 person classic type league.

Many leagues are teams of 3 or 4  (or fewer) and it leads to fewer adjustments.
