Why are they making bowling balls now that you have to start way left?

[bowl1820]

why would you subtract 31? Like how did you come up with that formula?

The exit point formula is from a Joe Slowinski article and is based on Neil Stremmel's article, Entry Angle, Part 3: USBC Research Shows Where Your Ball Should Be to Achieve the Best Angle. Where Stremmel shares data from USBC research on points that maximize 4, 5 and 6 degrees of entry angle

Everyone wants to hook like the pro's.... new bowlers go and watch the pba and think wow, if i want to be the best bowler ever i need to throw the ball like that! so, yes balls like the nightmare can be used well on heavy oil by a high speed bowler, but new bowlers go out and buy such a beast because they think its how you "should" be bowling instead of learning proper technique and growing your arsenal as you encounter conditions that require it

While I can swing it all the way across the lane I find that to many other people play that line and burn it up way to quick. I usually tend to go way outside and shoot the gutter, no one plays that line so I have it all to myself The only downside is you have no margin for error as it's going in the ditch if you are even a half a board off.

Ha, i play very close to the same line, maybe a board to the left, don't wanna flirt to close to disaster

She can come over and show me how to play that line!

Dave, that's my favorite line. Then for fun I will move over to the left side and loft the gutter when the game is out of reach. Just to show them I can still do it.
