The not so hard USBC shot on my local lanes.
« on: March 11, 2013, 05:45:32 PM »
I went to bowl a game today and they had (supposedly) the USBC shot out on 8 lanes.  I shot 235 on it.  What a joke.  Mind you, it's my 4th game in 13 months, after knee replacement - timing is off, nothing feels right, and 235?  Hitting the pocket was simple:  weak ball (Track 300) straight up 6, moderate to slow speed.  I've heard that there have been several 800+ scores at the tournament so far.  Did someone decide to make up for what I've heard were very difficult shots the last several tournaments?  All I can say is, that if this is the real USBC shot, you better have on your scoring shoes when you go.

And yes, I realize that topography plays a big part in difficulty, but this just struck me as way too simple.  I'm hoping the my house got the shot wrong.

Almost as silly as throwing 10 frames and claiming a shot is walled up....

The shot may have been walled up, because it probably wasn't the actual USBC shot.  I don't think he said with any certainty that it was, and he appears rather shocked that the actual shot would be that easy.  He pretty well answered his own question and everybody is acting like he said that it was definitely the USBC shot and that it was definitely too easy.
