1. No not typically, But they can have similarity sometimes. A lot would depend on the wear they've seen (topography), such as if a house uses certain lanes more often like for birthday parties, open bowling etc. than others.
2. Lane conditions, topography, how other players are affecting the shot.
3. Sure you can make changes after a bad shot, I'm not saying anything about basing specific adjustments on a bad shot per se. Just that if you wait until your making prefect shots to make a adjustment. Then you most likely will have waited too long to adjust, you've wasted so many frames you more than likely can't recover from it.
"Adjust too soon and maybe ruin one frame, adjust too late and ruin a game."
4. Hmmm, it depends on the player, the lines their playing and their relation to where I'm playing. I've moved and tried playing others line, when mine wasn't working .
5. Too anticipate transition? On my lanes yes, as for the others I haven't thought about in those terms. I watch what happens on the lanes near me and notice patterns in spare leaves. If the lanes on either side are leaving lots of say 2-8's or greek church's, my lanes will be doing the same. I'll watch what goes on and if I see something that might help me on my lanes. So to some extent I guess I am.
6. Not exactly sure just how you mean that.
7. I decide what ball to start with before bowling and change as/or if needed once I see what it does. I don't pick a ball and say Okay this is the one I'm using no matter what. ( A caveat: sometimes if I get a new ball, I might use it all three games the first time. To see just what it will do over the course of 3 games, to better understand how to use it later on.) (Unless it's just totally the wrong ball and/or there team scoring concerns).
