    All league should be like the pros bowl, a different sports pattern each week, then start over again! Too many bowlers that think they have what it takes to play with the Pro's!! Those same bowlers with 220 averages would be lucky to hit 200, or 190 on a challenging pattern including myself!!

    Sports pattern at least make the game a challenge, and similar to the pro's!! All the equipment, super balls that correct even bad shots, giving you and 10 board target that gets the ball to the pocket... When will it end???

    All of use house pattern bowlers, are not as good as we think,,, Real Men Bowl Sports Patterns!! Very little challenge to a blocked house oil pattern!

    Storm1 do you know any top Pro's that wear wrist support??? I think its a bad habit to stick with, ONCE YOU learn how to bowl! UNLESS you have a physical injury, weak wrist not included, and a MD gives you a permit, to use one. I have yet to see one in the last 5 years that wears a wrist support.

    Everybody has to have that 230 average.... but is it really an accomplishment, when you consider the HOUSE PATTERN, and just to make it even more easy add them da## Dial a pitch wrist guidance systems!!LOL LOL (
    How come you don't bowl any Sport Shot leagues then...?

    I have the dial a pitch type of glove for the first time this year, but was a much better bowler before I used any style of brace. My number of 700's a year have really dropped since I've started using any style of glove.

    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.

    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!!

    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!
