Ok, I've been thinking about the "old days of bowling" lately, and have a few questions. First off, I see old bowling clips, and such, and see people playing lines relatively close to todays. I've seen people play at like 20, in older clips, and I got to thinking, they were throwing plastic/rubber then, what did they do differently to make the ball hook??? A high rev player these days can throw a rubber ball and hook it maybe 5-10 boards, but back then average people were hooking half the lane. What was different in there style/release and all that, that allowed the ball to hook, whereas now-a-days those balls are nothing more then straight spare balls? Like I said Im sure bones can answer this, but anyone can chime in.

Wish my hubby were here to answer that.
Guy had a high enough ave. on wood to become pro back in the 70-80 era.
He could hook his rubber ball more than some of the guys on TV now with the new stuff.
You missed them days kid.
Curious to see sawbones answer.
Hubby got 225 awards back them every year for that kind of bowling. Back when a high ave. was 175-180 in most leagues.

Live long, remember the good times, learn from the bad but forget the bad once you did that learning.
