When did bowling become a battlefield between new and old?

[sprocket]

If the two handers became dominant on the tour, suddenly one handed would be the "new" thing. While all the two handers are burning up the oil the one handed strokers, Like a WRW or Duke will play where the two handers are not playing and dominate that tournament.

One style of bowling can NEVER dominate the pro tour because it would defy the laws of physics. As soon as the majority is doing the same thing, the minority that is doing something different has the edge. Belmo has the edge now because he is doing something different and can break down a pattern in a way that makes the shot more more difficult to play for his opponents than himself. But that would be completely untrue if there were a whole bunch of two handers on tour.

Yeah I can't imagine a pair with 2-3 two handers on there.

You refuse to acknowledge that the 2 handed game gives players an inherent advantage. Just like how the modern one-handed approach has an inherent advantage over the old school style.

Yes. I do refuse to acknowledge that. I'm not even going to acknowledge what I don't acknowledge...or what I do acknowledge. Of matter of fact, I'm only 38% sure I am spelling acknowledge correctly.

I've seen greatness. Anthony, WRW, Bohn, Duke, Weber. The day I had "Belmo"'s water bottle crushing a** to that list is the day he wins 30 titles. Until then, I'll just silently hope that he suffers a back injury and learns to bowl properly.

And yes, I threw the "properly" in as a joke....so someone but some Be Gay on Iceman's red a** before he starts Rantzilla 2014.

All this praise for "modern" bowling and "2-handed thumbless amazement". It's a goddam miracle that anyone before 2004 could even hit the headpin.

I was going to fix all the stupid auto-correct mistakes...thanks alot Apple...but I saw that it corrected "Ben Gay" to "Be Gay"...so I'm just leaving the thing as is out of pure amusement.
