When it comes to bowling, I have always believed that people tend to make it way harder than it needs to be. "Analysis paralysis". There is a lot to be said for not over-analyzing every aspect of the game and just keeping things simple.
For example, when people talk about moving 1/2 board or 1/4 board, I am thinking "you haven't hit the same board twice yet and you are not at that level to even claim you can precisely and repeatedly hit a 1/4 board difference on the lane...and it is a house shot. 1/4 board doesn't matter!"
Then the bowlers that make a ball change every 5 frames because they can't find the right "look".
Meanwhile, the once-a-week casual bowler using their 10 year old entry level ball going straight up and hitting anywhere between 5 and 10 is watching their ball walk right in to the pocket.
