usbc sportshot crap
« on: April 20, 2008, 05:12:34 AM »
is anyone else sick of the sportshot crap the usbc keeps shoving at us, I have read that league bowling membership is declining, iknow that this is true in my area. I live in mich. and the decline of the auto industry is having a huge impact on our leagues.Jobs, Money, and time are tight so guys are having to cut back. the usbc is basically ignoring normal house leagues and is pushing pba experience and sport leagues. the thing is we don't have the time and disposable income to devote to having all this extra equipment and practice time. everyone on my team averages over 200, we have all decided to cut back to once a week bowling. we tired of the usbc telling us that what we are doing doesn't measure up and for the "integrity of the game we should switch to a pba exp. league.
thats my rant

You know, I have been bowling for 25+ years.  In my hay-day I could keep up with the best of them(except Paul Renteria, he had my #, ok maybe a few others .  
I see both sides to this and being a long time bowler, I do take the side of the tougher conditions.  It is "discouraging" to have someone bowl against you in scratch league on THS conditions and not only beat you but also have a higher average yet they have only been bowling for 3-4 years.
I'm for USBC making ALL houses go to Sport or PBAX conditions but I know this will not happen so I have been watching and learning to "spray and pray".  I no longer compete in all these tournament or go to regionals so truthfully why pay the extra to bowl a tougher conditions?  Then come winter, all houses will put out their china shot.
If anything, I would truly like to see any league that considers or calls their league a scratch league, to actually put down Sport or PBAX conditions.
Then we will see how good these 200+ spray and pray bowlers really are.

So with 11 800 series, your high is only 817 ?

Wow, the THS provided me with a real nice 852

Sucks for you

No it doesn't actually cause over half of those have come on tournament conditions....unliek you who can't bowl on anything but the easiest of the easy and still can only shoot 850, what a loser you are.....geez.

And I see you didn't mention the 300 games, so I assume I have your @ss kicked in that regard too?!? And again I have a large portion of those off of THS patterns. Another thing you can't say.

What is really funny, well no it's actually sad, is that you think you are sooo good, doing this on a THS easy china pattern. ROFLMAO, that is just too much. You actually think you are a good bowler.......well whatever allows you to sleep at night, and boosts your ego to compensate for that tiny little manhood between your legs.

I didnt post 300 games because your Greatness discredited them ...You remember, right ?

I figured you were gonna say all your honor scores were on tourney conditions, lol. I hope someone informed your ABT scores are a joke.

As I said before, enjoy this wonderful, but simple game of bowling !

Good luck and good bowling once again

strikealot, wheres the ignorance ?

I bowl on what the USBC allows to be bowled on, no ?

The USBC is the over-seeing body of all this, so where am I in the wrong ? They(USBC) mandates the shot, am I wrong for bowling on it ?

 


yes you bowl on whats allowed if you are talking about the tough  THS...your not wrong in that reguard...just wrong in talking about sport shots...the usbc over-sees these too...but you are just to good and dont want to deflate that nice ego you have built for yourself while bowling on your tough THS...but continue to stroke your ego for you may be the best THS bowler in the world in your eyes..

Well then if the THS is all that avalible until summer, what should I do ? Throw gear that I know dont score as well ? Then thats sandbagging, correct ?

So we should start a sport shot league and have 4 people show up for the whole thing again ? Or maybe drive 200 miles upsate every week to find a "tougher" shot ?

I bowl on whats avalible and use gear I can score with. Inflate my avg ? yeah the THS prob does that, but I'm ok with it, I know where I stand when I bowl a tourney ect...

Best THS bowler ?, Nah the PBA PRO Jeff Carter already has that spot

Never heard of the ABT, is that something for people like you?!?

Bowling isn't a game it's a sport, that the first problem you have. Once you realize that.....oh wait too much info for someone of your meager intellect, sorry, bet you have headache now. I discredited your 300 series that you were posting about....just about anyone can bowl a 300 game on an easy pattern, even someone as bad as you.  What really amazes me is still how you think you are good, it oozes out of your posts, along with the drool you left on the keyboard. Someday you'll realize how bad you really are, I just hope someone from these forums are there to witness it, so they can tell everyone about it. That would be classic.

Why go to a tournament.....you can't win bowling only on easy as pie THS. Real bowlers will blow you away especially with your self-admitted overinflated average to go along with your overinflated head. Well I guess you like giving your money away, it would fit with the profile you are creating of not being very smart.

Where do I think I'm good or say that I am ? I'm not the one with my bowling credentials posted in my profile, you are. So whos the one showing off or trying to prove something ?

Serious question, no bashing (although its fun):

Whats really worng with bowling on the shot provided ? Should someone not take advantage of it ?

I would put up some cash saying I would take your money.

You don't what I have accomplished in bowling...Not that bowlings that big of deal. Its only a game for recreation and fun. Not sure why your all hard up over it ?

Doesnt the THS overinflate everyones avg that bowls on it ?

Does Jeff Carter avg 260+ tour ?

Whenever you bowl on THS (you'll say you never do), doesnt your avg go up >?

Whats wrong with admitting that ,since we all know its true ?

Same thing, a strighter player will have the advantage in the earlier games, where abouts the more power player type would gain some advantage in the later games.

Same difference.

Depending on whos all bowling (righty/lefty) and what lines their playing and what gear their using, my general idea ^^ would/will change.

Cool..I see...miss read what you were saying

If my local center does the PBA league again I beleive its going to be trios and add handicap this time

I will do it again if they do. The did a package last year for a Fury and your choice of Power Groove.

It was actually pretty fun, but the patterns did play a little on the Heavy side due to the fresh syn lanes installed about 2 week before the league started.
