lefty vs righty

[JaMau24]

I tried to quote the statement that right handed PBA bowlers must be overall better than lefties but it wouldn't let me. On a sport shot, lefties have a disadvantage (yep i said DISADVANTAGE) because they don't have the luxury of having 9 other people to help break down the God awful amount of oil. If you have watched practice for any PBA event, you will see everyone throwing charcoal like bowling balls to break down the shot. I have bowled in sport shot tournaments and I bowl collegiately (sport shot) and the righties can break down a lane to almost a house shot type forgiveness (5 to 7 board misses). Through the entire day, lefties have to make accurate shots (3 board misses at most) and that's where the perception comes that professional bowlers that are right handed are overall better than left handed bowlers.

I would also like to apologize for being disgruntled on the last time i posted in this thread. I've dealt with this argument daily since I started bowling and it gets old. I know, if I don't like it I should have just ignored it but that's not my style.

You know what, that is true. I totally forgot that aspect of the argument. My mistake. I know from experience as well, that bowling on a broken down sport shot is easier than a fresh oiled sport shot.

and no worries, I can imagine I'd be annoyed with it too if I were left handed and had to constantly hear about it. Anyone that starts talking crap, or makes little jabs at you guys during league or a tournament doesn't represent how most of us feel. Those guys are just sore losers and wish they could be as good as most of you are.

It works both ways. On sport shots where Iam usually the only lefty on the pair the carry down effect last longer than the right side. It is what it is. I can only do what I think will work for me

It's ok left-handers. I throw enough Brooklyn shots to screw up your side too.

John, what's odd is that I don't cross over nearly as often when I bowl left-handed. I do leave a lot more splits though.
