getting that one extra strike per game isnt always about tweaking shots to find extra carry. at that point, when youre carrying 10 times a game, there is nothing you should have to tweak in order to carry an extra shot. it all comes tdown to who gets a lucky break here and there, and who doesnt. of course ball reaction affects carry, and im sure that the guys at the top have incredible ball reactions with whatever theyre throwing, but you cant possibly tell me that there is that much of a difference between guys averaging 260 and 240...when you leave a 9 count sandwiched by 4 strikes on each side, its going to hurt cost alot more pins than when youre grinding it out and only get 3 strikes instead of 4. if someone else carries that 9 count shot, now theyre shooting for 300 instead of 279...21 pin difference. the mentality is extremely tough, but when an amateur whos never bowled on a pba shot before can average that high, you cant tell me that such a miniscule adjustment could make a difference.
