Good Interview...  I also bowled the proprietors cup in Dayton.  There was a ton of friction, and scores were high.  But you still have to execute to strike.  Hitting the pocket was not hard but getting the right entry angle to carry was.  Especially pair to pair.  I think I was a little unlucky as I had to follow Sean Rash.  In the 2-  6 game blocks, when I got to the 5th and 6th games and I was forced to move way in, I ran into where Sean was playing.
It was very difficult to get my ball through the fronts, as there was very little oil.  Luck of the draw.   But the left / right issue is always going to be there.  They still had to bowl but when the top 4 were left handed in Saturday Qualifying.  But all 4 lefties are very talented.  Couch led PBA HOF.  Frankie Calca any Anthony Pepe are top amateurs! and Shannon Pluhowsky , one of the best Women bowlers out there.  The righties had more transition from pair to pair, but we should expect that with the amount of righties and rev rates that was out there.
Good Tourney and concept, just maybe next year they could lower the entry to maybe $500-$600 and be able to get more entries.

Sean did hit the pocket a lot but was plagued with bad carry the last 2-3 games.
