Who has more success? High rev or Low rev players?
« on: June 06, 2003, 05:25:14 AM »
First of all, higher rev players, it seems like, use milder equipment and have to be more accurate... and low rev players can use stronger backending balls, which in turn gives them more area on the lane in case they miss a little wide, then the ball recovers and comes back to the pocket.

Does anybody else see it like this???



Thanks!

I think ACCURACY wins........always....

don't think High or Low Revs count for much to be honest....

check out the WPBA.....seems lots of low rev types kill there....as do the high rev types.....

the person who is the most ACCURATE wins..........no matter what the rev rate..

only my humble opinion as usual....lol....

How many of the so called "accurate" low rev players have the courage and accuracy to play the 2 board? That's a phenomenal entry angle and carry percentage even for a low rev player IF you are accurate and consistent enough to hit that shot.

You got a whole dry board to miss on outside since oiling machines can't oil the one board. And if you tug it a board you will probably cross over and carry brooklyn due to the run away angle.

Yet how many low rev bowlers claiming they have to split boards to strike do you see playing where they have 3 boards to strike or at least leave a very easy spare? Talk is cheap...

Think saw Norm Duke hit the 2 board 12 shots in a row for a perfect game not too long ago.....

Again...it is ACCURACY....executing the shot.....that is what matters...and isn't dependant upon rev rate......excute your shot.......that is the mantra....not hit it as hard or as soft as you can........

Norm Duke is a phenomenal bowler who can do a lot of different things with a bowling ball, but I'd call him a tweener before I'd call him low rev. Of course what I had in mind in my post was your typical 8 rev dump it in the track league bowler, as opposed to pros. The Traber brothers own the twig and of course Walter Ray can play out there with anybody.

I think in the case of league bowlers......that it is about equal.....though again the accuracy thing comes into play...but taking that out of the equation......

think high revs can create area/pin carry.....but then lose it as the lanes go.....

low revs may struggle on the big time oil...but as the game goes on the lanes come to them.....

think the answer is the middle..*laugh*....tweeners rule!!..

so as usual my post says basically nothing...lol

It does not matter if you are a high rev, low rev or tweener bowler. What matters is repeating shots and the accuracy to make 95 to 98% of your spares. Those are the guys (or gals) who win tournaments.

To further prove what I'm talking about:

Just the other day, I watched a guy shoot 712 with a big flaring ball and he didn't hit the same target twice! It looked like the bigger flaring ball just simply created "area" for him. He could miss wide and the ball would recover and strike.

Where as, my friend was throwing a smaller controlled hook with a milder ball, and if he wasn't perfect, he wouldn't strike. If he missed wide like the other guy, then he'd leave a washout!

It just seems like the bigger hooking backending balls are helping the less accurate people score better!!!


Thanks!
