Wrong. For MOST centers not counting Vegas where there is a massively high user volume on a regular basis...obut MOST centers..... Most of your competition on league night is (or should be) throwing very basic shots up the track. Some are women throwing plastic balls up the middle, maybe a lefty, a couple elderly guys with old equipment up the track...there's no 'strategy' to avoid them messing up your shot. League bowlers aren't good enough to intentionally "mess with your shot" nor ).[/QUOTE]
I really don't know if it is the particular house you throw in or just the leagues you choose to bowl in but do all of the bowlers in So. Cal. suck? from what I'm reading from your posts I'll likely find better bowlers in my youth leagues. I do gravitate towards higher end leagues I don't bowl on family fun night. I do not believe there is a single bowler throwing plastic or house balls on any of my leagues currently. The lowest average on any of the three leagues is one of my teammates on Saturday's and she averages 145 because of a disability she's the lowest average of any of my leagues by almost 20 pins.
I never said that PBA bowlers don't know what their balls do or are not capable of watching what their balls do. I said they don't have a systematic progression in place that they automatically change their balls with. You pretty much answered the question yourself. "Ball reps make recommendations, they watch how the competitors are bowling, they can scout the lanes before the pro moves to that pair, etc... But if they recommend a ball change...thats always a "discussion"...not an "instruction" to quote you. Why does their need to be a discussion or instruction at all if you already have an order your going to use the balls in? If they have a systematic progression if they are using ball "x" shouldn't they just automatically grab ball "y"? The reason is because one they have more than 3 balls and they do know how each one rolls but there but it is not a systematic progression it's a discussion to determine which of their other balls best fills the need.PBA bowlers don't necessarily use their balls in a particular order
As usual you are over complicating things I never said one single word about changing speed or release. It's not necessary to change all of those to change target lines that's why we have different balls. With the proper balls you can easily move lines do you honestly line up and stay in the exact same spot to throw your entire arsenal? I can stand anywhere between 25 and 45 and target anywhere from 8-20 without making changes to my speed and release but if I need to change those it's not the drastic thing you make it out to be. If I want to change my speed I can I simply lower the ball and slow my steps I don't need an entirely different approach. If I want to change my release I simply adjust my pinky finger right or left it's not rocket science.
