Its a combination of all of the above and one big 1 that you left out $$$$$. Very few of these guys have all of what you mentioned above and the ability to play consistently across the different patterns. Even if they do are they really better off being on the PBA Tour or Bowling in smaller local and regional tournaments? Money wise I think your chances of making a living is better doing the local and regional tournaments and many of them have higher payouts than PBA tour stops.
Very few have the physical side of the game speed/revs/accuracy then you add the mental side of the game and the low payouts time away from family why would you really want to. The top 5 guys on tour do ok but its not great if your below that your losing money and basically doing it for the love of the game.
