Name a Pro Bowler that would.....
« on: May 22, 2009, 01:50:50 PM »
in your opnion not be where they are at with out all the great technology that we have now.  Say that All we had these days were platic balls with pancake cores.  What pro bowler would not be where they are today??  Just for fun not trying to take anything away from those guys cause they are great.

I don't quite understand why everyone is ripping on Mallot on this one. Yeah he is a power player but he also has the ability to adjust his shot at release. That is the reason he has so much area out there. If it was just because of his rev rate you would see people like couch and jones at the top of the player of the year standing too. If I had to pick some one out I would probably say Rash or Rhino. I love Rhino but they both rely on their ball to do the work if you watch them. That is fine for resin equipment. Its actually how you want to use it, but if you put rubber or plastic in their hands they would have zero recovery and no drive with out a big core.

The ones you see weekly are there for a reason. Just like in the plastic ball tournament they would all have the balls drilled with the cg kicked out and a weight hole to get maximum performance of what little they have from the ball.

They all know how to spare consistently.
They all know how to adjust to different lanes and changing conditions.

Power players would still be on there consistently because they will consistently have more area and more carry/pin action then those who can't hook the ball as much.


They would all still be there.

CHRIS BARNES AVERAGED 239 IN THE PLASTIC BALL TOURNEY. I THINK HE WOULD DO FINE. I SAW WES MALOTT ON THE KING OF BOWLING WITH A PLASTIC BALL, HE SURE CAN HOOK IT, I THINK HE SHOT 249, BUT THAT WAS WITH UNBELEIVABLE CARRY AT THE USBC KEGEL CENTER



Dude what you dont get is, those were not just a regular old Spongebob Squarepants plastic ball in my Joe Schmoe bag. Those balls had a pancake weightblock in them. The ball was drilled to hook. So, infact, those high scores werent actually as impressive..they might as well have been throwing my Flash Force or my Tropical Storm with about $5 worth of wax on them! JEEZ!

Someone posted this before, probably you.  All normal weight plastic balls currently available and "back in the day" have a pancake weight block in them.  Very light weight balls have nothing but filler inside, and there have been a few plastic balls made over the years with a solid 2 piece dynamic core.  Design wise, a White Dot (and Ebonite's 59th anniversary plastic ball) is the same today as it was years ago.  The pancake compared to a real 2 piece core had nothing to do with the high scores.  The pancake probably has more to do with keeping the balls from cracking because the driller has something solid to drill into than it does about static weights and performance.

pretty sure it wouldn't bother any of these guys that much. I don't understand why you guys think Scroggy would suck, I seem to remeber this guy named Earl Anthony that didn't have a crap ton of hand on it and he won alot of tourneys, I am sure Scroggy could slow it down and make it work. Barnes is pretty accurate and is straight games is very good I think he would be dominante. Mallot would do fine also.

I think the guys that would suffer most would be Tommy Jones and Sean Rash, Rash especially, he couldn't hit water if throw the ball off a boat.

Thanks STRIDER for making that point about the pancake weight block and BBU the tropical storm does have a regular weight block, it's small but it is a weight block. I think mst of the pros would adjust to the ball available. If it is as easy as some of the people on here say it is how come they are not pros.

Wow, I think my brain just exploded by some of the answers in this thread. People are certainly entitled to their opinion but man some of you are just dead wrong.

Being that a lot of these guys are just damn good, they would adjust with the technology they have at their disposal.

This thread is like a list of people who don't understand that hook is created by friction no matter what the surface is and carry is dependant upon entry angle.  Kinda funny.

+1   The best bowlers are the best bowlers, period.  Being that this this thread has pretty much eliminated the top 40, who would be in the top 40?

The standings would almost always be similar.  I hate this topic, responses are so annoying.

Duke won his first title at 18 with urethane if I remember correctly.  Youngest EVER to win a title.  Yeah, he wouldn't be anything...

Sorry forgot to add that anyone who said Barnes is just, as dp said early, retarded.  So you honestly think a guy who has 500+ revs, and always attempts to play the lanes about as straight as Walter Ray "benefits" from the technology?  If anything is has hurt him more often than helped him.  Because guess what, all the high 4-pins that he leaves on TV would be trip 4-pins with slightly less equipment.  But hey you have your own absolutely clueless opinion probably because of the simple fact that you personally just don't like him.  

And for the person that compared Scroggins with Earl Anthony, I mean come on....seriously.... That is just utterly amazing.


My vote goes to Jeff Carter
