Yes, and his bowling ball reviews are still the only staffer videos that I think are worth a darn. I subscribe...

Yes, very good series of videos. I actually picked up some of the moves based on his videos and they have benefited me and my average.
I subscribe to his videos.

I watched the link. I'm not super surprised that a ball rep would recommend making ball changes.
Hard to tell from the video though. He said "move right" but I can't tell how much he moved right.
I'd have stayed. And, he's right, I'd have probably been left with that same spare. But if I were to move right…I'd move my feet AND my target. It seems like he just moved his feet. If you were going to "only" move your feet…wouldn't you just shade a bit to the "left"…maybe slow the ball down a tad or add a little more revs to it?? I'm not understanding just moving right and using the same target.
I feel this is all too circumstantial. It depends so much on the bowler, the ball, the lanes, the oil pattern, the center, etc. There is no one right "change" to make. For example, he recommends a ball change in this video, but no reason a bowler couldn't make a variety of changes that would work still using the first ball. Slowing down ball speed or increasing revs are both possible easy fixes to implement in this example, a lot more he can do as well.

What better way to PERFECT YOU GAME
They say that bowlers that practice with the WII bowling, actually increase their REAL bowling average by 10.3 pins!
Are you going to purchase that Bowling enhancing WII game from Diane??
Don't walk on Thin Ice!
You guys are missing the point. The whole thing is to throw the exact same shot everytime. Once you start changing speed, revs, etc there is a lot more that can mess up. So in that situation while yes you don't necessarily need to change balls, that is probably the best option.
Im gonna call BS on that I have played that game and if i try and throw the ball like i would a real bowling ball the ball i will be in the gutter every timeThey say that bowlers that practice with the WII bowling, actually increase their REAL bowling average by 10.3 pins!

So in the 60s-late 70s…I guess those bowlers just didn't "get it". And when pros talk about moving vertically or changing speeds…they're just not that informed? One video out there said you should have 3 balls, 3 speeds, and 3 spots to play (inside, middle, high track/outside). Yes…3 "speeds".
Again…not saying having 2-3…maybe even 4 balls isn't a good idea in this day and age of massive hooks. But with practice, you can make a ball do whatever you want it to do. I throw 1 ball at my center…I can make it go straight…I can make it hook moderately…I can get it to go from gutter to gutter. Not by changing my whole approach or timing or throwing style. Just simple little adjustments in backswing and speed and where in the pendulum swing I release it. I have another ball that I use at other centers. Only because in very heavy oil…I have to slow things down a little "too much" to make it break into the pocket.
Oh well…dead horse.
