    Default Long or Short

    In a article titled "The Long and the Short of it", The WTBA Technical Committee had seperated bowlers into two groups.
    Bowlers who style prefers a breakpoint closer to the foul line and those who prefer a breakpoint closer to the pins.

    Which are you?.

    I usually like more toward the pins, but my game is growing/changing so who knows how it will be in the future

    I seem to do better if I can play around 5 or six. So I vote for short.

    Funny this comes up - last night during league, the middle of the lane was kind of sloppy, forcing people to play out at 4-6. So, I think my scores show that I definitely prefer playing closer to the pins.

    I've bowled more on short patterns in the last few years, so I have a comfort level there. I bowled mostly on longer patterns as I was learning to bowl. It would be a matter of matching up equipment to that shot if I were to bowl on longer patterns again.
    Style: Power Stroker/Tweener - 16.5 - 17.5 mph, PAP 4 1/2 x 0

    In the bags:
    Retooled with 15 lb equipment.

    In the Bag: Radical Ludicrous, 900Global Honey Badger Claw, 900Global Honey Badger, DV8 spareball

    In the Bullpen : Radical Quick Fix, Radical Katana

    The archives: Ebonite Grey Wolf (first 300), Red Wolf (first 700). Just can't let them go.
