This sort of reminded me of Ted Williams book, The Science of Hitting. He had graphs of different batters’ strike zones with different batting averages for each position a ball could cross the plate. His theory was to improve your overall average you stopped swinging at balls that you wouldn’t be likely to hit even if they might be strikes and waited for a pitch that you were two or three times more likely to get a base hit from.
With bowling, if the area where you get your best carry transitions, or just plain isn’t there to start, you have to make the right adjustment, whether it’s a move, a ball change, or a technique change. If you don’t, that area where you’re usually a 195 bowler becomes an area where you’re lucky to break 175.
