Hey FBM,
Lane conditions usually dictate the type of players we become, if this is the only house we bowl in. Imagine a house were always dry, guaranteed that either 1)the bowler would learn to create speed or 2)create loft or 3) start spinning the ball to adapt to his game to the enviroment. If he/she doesn't, they most likely will end up not scoring. I'm speaking in the sense of those who will excel at scoring on that condition. Vice versa effect if the lanes were flooded.
Simply heard it enough times on TV in Pro golf about how guys from Texas learn to hit the ball lower because of how windy it is there. Their game developed to a condition that helped them score or rather not score.
Best story heard, 5 guys at the Nationals. Every guy in one step or another had a sever dip in his approach, when asked if they were coached by the same person, the reply was that they were all from a small basement center in the midwest and there was a water pipe that ran right in front of them on the approach. They all had to duck under this pipe to avoid hitting it...
Adapt or suffer the consequences.......
