My league is four-person teams. Keyword is team. If the rest of my team bowls below their averages, there's little I can do to make up for that. And I don't bowl in many tournaments because there practically are no local tournaments.
Clearly your definition of easy is vastly different from mine. To me, easy = not being challenged to do well. Shooting 200+ to me is doing well. Shooting 300s every game is just plain luck. If it was just a matter of skill, pros would be shooting 300s every single game. If I can get blackout drunk and still shoot over 200 in a game, the pattern is too easy for me to practice sober. My goal is not to beat every other team. If it was scratch singles, it'd be different. But it's not. My goal, as of the past few months, is to get better. That means hitting the EXACT board every single time. That means rolling the ball the same way every single time. Now what is going to help me become a better bowler faster: a THS where I can both miss my target by a couple boards AND not roll it properly but still strike OR a sports pattern where if I miss one single board, my imperfections will be super obvious? One of those challenges me to become a better bowler. I'll let you guess which it is.
