Are they made for everyone? I'd say they are made for anyone who knows how and when to use them properly regardless of average.
In a way the statement " high end balls are not made for everyone they are for high end bowlers.' is almost what was said about reactive resin when it first came out.
It was on tv on the Wide World of Sports PBA telecast (or article I read back then), I forgot who it was he was one of the names in bowling at the time.
He said how great these resin balls were, they were the greatest thing to happen in bowling. They would give the pros those one or two extra strikes they needed in a Tournament. But only the Pros and high level amateurs would have use for them, Plus they were expensive and the league bowlers couldn't afford them.
Of course we know how that went.
I wouldn't say the Match is a " expensive hook monster" if that's what they were trying to say you had.It came up because I said something about my Strom Match was hooking a little too much. It has a perfect scale rating of 176 and I have polished it.
In a way that's basically true, A vast majority of league bowler's are using more ball than they need (or can use properly) for typical house conditions.That's when they both said the expensive monster hook balls are not needed for most bowlers.
A lot bowlers figure "well if the pros are using it, I should too" or "The more $$$, the more it's supposed to hook. the better (stronger) it must be." (it kind of goes with the old "and drill it to go long and snap hard")
One has won a couple of senior tournaments and the other is a little younger, late 40's and probably a better bowler.
