modern release cuz of reactive resin

I will also say control of your angle as you cross the arrow is just as important as hitting the correct board. If you told me tomorrow the best my accuracy will ever be is +- 2 or 3 boards but I could have perfect control of my angle of entry or I could hit my board every time but with little control over the angle. I would take the first option every time.

It is easy to stand at 20 and aim for the second arrow and throw the ball in the gutter while having hit your mark. This gets more and more true the farther inside you move. It's really not that important where the ball is at the arrows what matters is where the ball ends up as it makes it's turn.

Explain what you mean by "angle of entry." Are you talking about angle of armswing in relationship to the lane?

Angle of Entry (Entry Angle) is the angle at which the bowling ball enters the pins.

The angle of arm swing would be the launch angle.

Something that has stuck in mind for years is a quote from brian voss. He said the first thing he tries to do is find a shot where he can miss his target and still get to the pocket. That told me a lot when coming from some one like that.

OK. That makes sense. In that case, I agree with Amyers. Angle of entry is, I think, more important.

It seems to me that, with reactive balls/rev-dominant shooting, accuracy is less of an issue than it is for a straight-up-the-boards player. It seems like the balls in that scenario really do a good job of compensating for lack of precision.

Not in the best manner of explaining there from me but both.

If you don't have control of the angle the ball is coming off the swing (launch angle. Thanks for the new terminology bowl1820) and crossing the arrows it doesn't matter what board you hit.

If you don't have good angle to the pocket (angle of entry) you will often find yourself with harder spares than if you missed the pocket entirely.

With me anyway if I have those two down it doesn't matter as much if I'm off a board or two on the accuracy part on most of the lane conditions I've faced.

OK. This I can agree with.

On typical THS yes your right but not every week is typical. I generally think I have at least 3 boards I can hit and be pretty sure of a strike. But on some nights finding that one board is difficult so like everything else it depends.

On a THS, it would depend, I'd think, on how bad the carry-down was.
