Is it the BALL, or the SKILL of the Bowler

[Amyers]

One thing that amazes me is when you hear about a high level PBA pro that "took a step back and changed their game." I mean, for someone at MY level that would just like to get competitive on the amateur circuits...to think that a legend like Chris Barnes or Mike Fagan would change something when they can average 247 on a THS pattern without changing ANYTHING...is humbling.

Those guys go through down streaks and get stuff messed up in their deliveries the same way we do. In my opinion they biggest differences in coming back from it is they have instant access to high level coaching and nobody is going to charge them 3 bucks a pop or more to come in and work on their game. Even with that you see these guys get in slumps that last for months. when everything is great the game looks easy when something is wrong its the hardest game on the planet.
