Two thousand dollars of equipment with a 2 penny game
« on: October 19, 2003, 01:12:50 PM »
Why do I see this everywhere I go?  I see all kinds of people with costly arsenals yet their game stinks.  I don't understand this reasoning at all.  Why do people spend the money on all these bowling balls when they have no game themselves?  Just the other night I saw a guy with the whole x-factor line up and a few traumas, he had a few reloadeds drilled differently.  He brought a total of 8 balls and a whopping 161 average to league.  Brought a 6 ball roller and 2 ball tote.  Had 2 pairs of shoes, dexter sst6 and ABS.  Wore a big ole Storm Robo Brace.  Yet he only averages a measely 161 and has only been bowling for half a year.  Nice.

whats fun is watching the guys who bring in those bowling balls struggle. They rarely if ever change lines, speed, hand position, break point. Instead they just keep switching balls hoping for a magical one to appear to carry. If it doesn't work, time to drill up a new one.

I know two guys who bring between 12-16 bowling balls to league, and they average 200-210 on a league shot, but on anything tough cant average 150 because they simply wont move. One of em tried to play a sport shot 15 out to 5 and was whining because it wouldn't stop skidding into the gutter.

It's not the number balls in the bag, it's the number of revs on the ball.  All beginners must first bowl with plastic or at least mild resin balls before ever being allowed to purchase particle balls.  After the student learns how to hook the lane like a real man, then he can purchase whatever cool ball he wants to.  Of course, balls are purchased based on the image they create and how many CPL's they add.
