Here in Fairfield, we're trying to start the next generation off on the right foot. The junior league, except for the bumper bowlers, is using almost all sport patterns this season. Last Saturday was the first exception. I think the reason was that they get the same pattern as the Sport league uses the following Monday, so they would have been bowling on a pattern called "Pure Evil". Not sure if Chris thought the pattern would be too frustrating for them or if he didn't want to deal with hysterical parents, upset that their little angels were being exposed to "Pure Evil".
The patterns really don't make a difference to the kids who are just learning and are still trying to figure out how to throw the ball the same way twice. The ones who know how to hook the ball are getting used to the idea that strikes aren't automatic and that they have to put the same effort into making spares as they do the first ball.

What's next ICEMAN, no balls to throw strikes? Just stare down the pins and have them scatter at the sight of a mean look from people. Oi.......

Like Jason/Bowula/The Dude,,, we can't find one in our area!!! I would bowl one in a SNOW BALL Minute if I could find one!!!! The problem is that most bowlers want to brag about what a heck of a bowler they are, and have that block house pattern TO THANK!! LOL
You are not truly a GREAT BOWLER unless you bowl like the PRO'S!!! on Sports Patterns!! Real men, don't need the EGO of House Patterns, we need more Sports Pattern Leagues available!!
Bowling house blocked patterns, is a lot like comparing miniature golf, to the real deal!! You Great Bowers with that 230 average, try bowling the REAL DEAL, and if ,,,, IF YOU can still hold a 200 or higher average,,,, YOU ARE THE REAL DEAL,,,,, You are the Real Deal Mr Bowler!!
Not the miniature golf version of Bowling that we think is the standard!
God as my witness, I will FIND A SPORTS LEAGUE, and Join,,, even if I have to commute by airplane!!! Join me fellow bowlers and tell you bowling establishments YOU want the SPORT back in BOWLING!!
Don't walk on Thin Ice!
GOOD FOR FAIRFIELD!!!!!! It should be that way everywhere!! This (give me a easy house pattern) so I can (brag to all my relatives and friends stuff reminds me of how we are bring up our KIDS now days..... ( O honey,,, You didn't lose the pee-wee, football game, you just let them win) WHAT??
Winning and losing is LIFE,,,, but making things so easy as to give the EGO a huge boost, is not what made America STRONG! What made America Strong, and will keep us strong is requiring Sports Patterns at all our bowling lanes...... I just hope its not to fricken late to save this once Sporting Nation!
Don't walk on Thin Ice!
If you have that mean enough of a look vdubtx,,, you might be tougher then ME!! LOL I can have a pretty mean look, but rarely do they fall when I give them THAT LOOK,,,, I have had a TEN pin turn to VAPOR one night, after I gave it (THE LOOK!)
I will never forget that night, I had 9 in a role 10 pin leaves,,, Jason was there as my witness, (Strike and Spare)!
