Why does the telecast..
« on: November 29, 2009, 03:21:57 AM »
Seem so boring? It seems like there is no life or enthusiasm in anything. This season I have been pretty bored watching telecast. I haven't read spoilers or anything I look foward to every season but this season I feel I can actually miss a Sunday of bowling and wouldn't search youtube or classics for it. Is it just more or what?

Seeing Tom Smallwood bowl that bad meant that first match was pretty drama-free.  That was a terrible, terrible match.

I didn't know the outcome before watching and this season has been a complete FLOP as far as I'm concerned. I'm on the computer as the show is on .. missed last week and honestly think I've giving up on it. The excitement is gone!

A couple of weeks ago I noted that it was going down hill and I was hammered by some .. I said then I leave those who loved it to the show .. I feel NO DIFFERENT today .. the PBA is losing me! Perhaps LOST ME might be closer!

Agreed.  Surprisingly good match.

The tape-delayed thing hasn't bothered me any.  What HAS bothered me has been the awful, uninteresting matches.  They've all been either blowouts or really really sloppy, mistake-filled matches.  No amount of good TV production, etc. can make up for just plain bad matches.  Bowling in this arena bay at Thunderbowl was a TERRIBLE idea.  The lane surface is just beyond worn out.

Dan,

Have you bowled at Thunderbowl or seen it in person? Looks synthetic to me and not worn out from the view I get on my TV. I've bowled on some old synthetics and besides putting more wear on my equipment than synthetics normally do, if the lanes have a scorable shot down, the scores are good.

I watched them bowl on it all month long, and every single bowler said the same thing about the arena bay -- early hook, and lots of it.  Those synthetics had a ton of friction.  You could see it just from their ball reaction.  I don't need to bowl on them to confirm it when there's that much overwhelming evidence those were horrible lane conditions.

Dan,

I hope you don't think I was challenging your assessment of the lanes. It was just from the view on TV, they looked to be fairly new. I've bowled on Guardian sytnthetics and they were the worst anyone could bowl on. There was so much friction I thought there was no oil layed down.

I have bowled in that arena bay and the surface is not in bad shape just older synthetics. The PBA could have done something about that in the beginning, they do it from house to house depending on the surface so why not treat it as 2 different houses.

Were you bowling on a "flat" PBA pattern or a walled up THS?
