The spoiled rich kid:
1. I was visiting a pro shop and a kid comes in with 6 or 7 balls, all of them massacred. "My parents bought me a spinner for Christmas and I've been practicing"
2. A kid walks into my brother's pro shop and says he wants a new Jigsaw. here's the catch he only throws a 12lbs ball. My brother tries to explain to him he is really wasting his money and lite weight equipment uses different weight blocks, and he can get the same reaction out of a less expensive ball. Nope Mm and Dad say I can buy this one, I want this one.

Didn't have time to read all. The guys I hate:

. Never there when it's their turn to bowl
. Gets up on the approach and starts talking to his team
. After the ball hits the pins and the rack comes down he's still standing at the foul line looking at the pins.
. The guy who takes his young kids with him and allows them to sit with the bowlers.
. The guy who uses a different ball for spares and doesn't have the ball available for his 2nd ball.

I have a guy on my team who is lets say, is ignorant in the sence he doesnt realize that just because you hit the head pin, he thinks you should always strike. or that when i miss my target by 5 boards and still struck and i come back with a sickly look on my face and shaking my head, he is like well you still struck whats wrong?

Ya that guy is a newb. I shake my head at strikes all the time. I actually try to throw a good shot most all the time and getting lucky all the time from something I did in my release, timing or bad aim or a combination of those and get a lucky strike people ask me what is wrong because it was a strike. They just don't get it! My other favorite is when I know I completely messed up and just stare down the shot and manages to strike. Then it's obvious from my actions I should not have struck. Then the newbs come out that think they are all the sudden experts will say "you sure got lucky on that one" or blah blah. But if I had no emotion and got the same lucky strike they would think it's a perfect shot. SIGH!!!

You might understand when you are 60 plus and dont get around so good anymore and it takes you more time to do things. Until that day comes you can kiss mine while your waiting.

quote:
A bowler on the opposing team shows up with 3 bowing balls (really somthing odd back then), all of them Columbia white dots(one each in Carmel, Burgandy, and Blue). The guy used all 3 balls by the end of the night, played the same line and pretty much had the same scores (165-175) all 3 games. So as he's putting his equipment away I ask him why he uses 3 bowling balls. He tells me that each ball is drilled just a bit differently so that he never has to move from 2nd arrow.

I could be mistaken, but I thought all the white dots of that era had different hardnesses and the were depicted by the color of the ball.
Does anyone know this for sure?

eagle 101, you are correct about the hardness. A good friend of mine was told as much by his columbia rep. I had a green one that was fairly soft compared to some of the other colors.

I couldn't figure out if this guy was just nutty to think that a white dot drilled slightly different can react that much differently or was he ahead of his time with the wrong equipment?

The guy wasn't that nutty. With different hardnesses, the softer white dots would hook slightly more. Adjusting side and top weight was also a way to get them to hook a little more. So different drillings on different white dots back then would make sense.

Todays white dots are all the same - no matter what color.

I'm not saying slow, I'm saying where they sit on the approach, with their ball, adjusting and taking their time to throw a ball down the lane. Theres a huge difference to where an older person with bad knees that still likes to get exercise and the person thats older with the ability to bowl but they just take there time for concentration.

As someone said earlier on here, it should take you NO longer than 25 seconds to get on the approach, set up, and throw the ball. Thats a perfect time limit.

i get up when it my turn to bowl maybe you guys should leave the stop watches home when you bowl.

Have you guy's been bowling at the wendesday night leauge I bowl in??? Just about EVERY SINGLE example you guy's listed exsist in this leauge! Most of these thing's are on my team alone.

We have a different kind of guy in leauge tho. I call him the "oops guy". He give's you tip's about your game, usually saying that you need to slow your ball speed down, take rev's off the ball and to play the lane's a lot straighter. Then proceed's to roll his shot 30-5 with 400 rev's and 20mph, if he happen's to strike on the shot he yell's out OOOPS!!!! He does this on every strike and does this to everyone that is a treat to him, some people take his advice and try it only his advice isn't designed to help this other guy's game..
