As a member of the USBC,most of us agree that this ridiculous of 36 ft oil,even 38 is a ruination of of sport! Like tennis first,then tennis, bowling has become a power sport. Don Carter,Dick Weber,even Earl Anthony wouldn't stand a chance on todays lanes. Throw 18+mph with lots of revs or stroke "IT" at 20+ mph ala Norm, or your out of luck. If you throw 13mph with a reactive ball,the controllability is difficult at best. All that is needed is43 ft of oil minimum. Perfect without hiigh ball speeds don't have to force or loft the ball,the "strokers"can buy their lastest hook in the box. According to the BOD of the USBC, the BPA is the one preventing a minumum oil requirement. Save 3-4ft of oil ever week,how much $ do you save a year?

If the high rev guy throwing 17+ has 4-6 boards to hit the pocket (with incredible carry),let us have the same (minus the pins flying around)

This is more like a golf situation. You want to be able to hang with the guys and gals who can bomb the ball 300+ yards off the tee, so you want senior tees instead of having to play from the tips.

I certainly get it, but there are is a problem. I don't think you're giving those 17+ high-rev guys credit for actually having any skill. It sounds like you're saying that they automatically have that advantage just by being high-rev, high-speed players. Take it from someone who dabbled with two-handed bowling for a year. Just because you can throw it fast and with a lot of hand, that doesn't mean you're going to score better.

I think this is a good analogy. My understanding of the counter-argument would be....."well if you don't let us hit off the senior tees 'so we can have an equal chance' then we'll all just quit. Find a way to equal out ______ (insert advantage of group of players)."

In a sport or sport-related activity, there will always be people with an advantage or disadvantage because of physical abilities.

Precisely! It is inherent in the game.

I won't quit,but I will continue to change the lane dressing rules. Btw have you seen how fast USBC membership and revenues have been dropping? If it keeps going,we may not have a governing body in the near future. Our local association is already running in the red and using monies saved from years ago. How happy would eveyone be,if to make it equal for everyone,we used no oil?
