My first real discussion with a pro shop owner

A Series is a relative term, the majority of leagues bowl 3 games which is why everyone thinks a series is 3 games, but you can have a 3 game series, 4 game series, or even 30 games series if you wanted to lol

Ok yeah sport leagues may consist of 4 games, sorry about that. It may just be practice but was hoping to get the point acrossed that when someone talks about a series they normally are talking about 3 games. Telling someone you shot a 792 series they would immediately think you averaged around 265 for 3 games. Very impressive!

I don't understand why a pro shop operator would be against seeing you bowl. Yes you may be nervous about being watched or taped, but muscle memory is muscle memory and it is very difficult to change it so if you threw the ball a little different it would be very minute and almost impossible to tell. Seems a bit odd to me and like Bill mentioned, how would you determine the PAP to get a good layout if you don't watch the release and measure fresh oil rings?

The answer is he's guessing if he doesn't see you bowl and measure. Might guess right, but he's still guessing.

There's only two possibilities that account for this. 1. He's lazy and doesn't want to take the time or 2. He doesn't know what he's doing.

Has to be one or the other.

Well either way my average went up big time!
