Your Idea Of a Perfect Bowler!!!!!!!
« on: May 01, 2005, 12:51:59 AM »
This is the "your Idea Of A perfect Bowler" Game (I just made ), the general idea of the game is to pick a preference and add up the numbers next to the preference, I will then keep track of the combined numbers and will see what style is the most popular.

Speed Preference (choose one only)-
Low ball speed (10-15mph)                       1
Medium ball speed (16-20mph)                    2
High ball speed (21-25+)                        3

Rotation Preferences (choose one for axis and tilt rotation)-
Low ammount of axis rotation (0-50 degrees)     1
High ammount of axis rotation (50-90 fegrees)   2
Low ammount of tilt (0-50 degrees)              3
High ammount of tilt (50-90 degrees)            4

Approach Preferences (choose one only)
4 (or less) steps                               1
5 (or more) steps                               2

RPM Preferences (choose only one)
0-250 RPMs                                      1
250-400 RPMs                                    2
400+RPMs                                        3

Arm Swing Preferences (choose only one)
Below shoulder high                             1
Shoulder high                                   2
above shoulder high (head level)                3
Above head                                      4

NOTE: MORE REVS AND SPEED WILL RESULT IN LOSS OF ACCURACY AND OVERALL CONSISTANCY.

Have fun!!!!

What about accuracy/endurance?  If accuracy and endurance are the same with anything, there is no reason not to choose the ultracranker.  Afterall, the only reason people say not to be a cranker is due to accuracy, and sometimes being fatigued.

If we are supposed to worry about that, well then there's just way to many factors to make a choice.

I'm an 8!  I doubt the other guy is really 8 - his profile says he throws 16mph.

I'm truly 8:
14.5 mph, 45* tilt and rotation, 225 revs, and my arm swing barely goes above my waist!

12 = me

The perfect bowler of course would be the one who threw nothing but strikes no matter what the hence, for all they would do is shoot 300 (hence perfect)

A better idea of a "perfect" bowler would be one who has medium ball speed who can vary depending on the amount of oil, has the ability to roll the ball end over end or side turn depending again on the condition, med/high revs would be helpful for the ability to open up a lane faster, but as far as steps/backswing goes I dont think that matters. I take 4 1/2 steps (first step is more of a sliding start ala Jason Couch) and my backswing is above he shoulders. If I am messing around so to speak and bowling in street shoes, I take 7 small steps, armswing stays the same, and ball speed/revs are the same, or relatively close. The main key here is spare shooting. I would rather be a very good spare shooter (rarely miss a single pin, multi pin conversions a few and far between as well) then one who can strike a bunch but stinks at spares (more so with crankers than strokers). Anybody can strike but if they can shoot spares that wont help them much in the score dept.

psst, you're supposed to add up for what you think is the perfect bowler stats, not your own.  Unless you DO think you're the perfect bowler, in which case I'll direct you to the egomaniacs annonymous room.
