Keep in mind not all lefties are strokers who play inside ten.  I am a tweener I very very rarely play inside ten.  Sure, if we are the only lefty on the lane and we got a decent shot, it's good.  But when we don't have a shot, it takes a long time to get one.  Also, around here I end up bowling with a fair amount of lefties, so I end up playing against the ball return all the time.  And for you righties complaining about us having it so easy, go ahead and switch to being a left handed bowler.  It's not like we have some magical limb that you don't have, you can just as well learn to bowl left handed if it's that big of an advantage.  The righties complaining as just looking for excuses.

PS  to brenttsr:  I think my house plant rivals you in the intelligence category.

Brent, any reason why you refuse to answer my questions?

Dude, I'm not trying to bash you.  I'd just like to have a little more info. to help you out.  
Most good righties do understand that there are sometimes when we have the world and sometimes when we are shut out as is the right side.  Many times I've had righties say to me "Geez, you guys have nothing".  It's nice that they notice it as I do when I see that I have a great look when they don't.

Not long a go there was a SASBA (Southweast Senior Tour) Member/Guest in Dallas.  There were a bunch of great lefties in the field, many of which bowled good in the sweeper the night before.  The next day, they were shut out.

Do you really think they suck?
You have some repect for Scroggs, where did he finish on the money list?  40th?  19 stops and 35,000.   PBIII went from winning 265,000 to 89,000.
Does he really suck on the new patterns but had a wall on the old ones?

Hose: Trying to explain the facts of life....using dummy-downed words like dud, I mean dude.
brent: Dumbfounded righthander who knows all about bowling..just ask him.
Rags: Using the "father knows best" approach on explaining the facts of life.
      (Even though he, himself, is righthanded.)  
All others: Just enjoying the entertainment of seeing to vets do a battle of wits with an unarmed righthander.

Does this sum up this so far?

What do righties complain about? You start stringing strikes, you throw a great shot on the next ball and it leaves you a washout because the oil has moved down. You find a way around the carrydown, you start to string again and then the heads dry out and the ball goes face and leaves you the greek church.

Meanwhile the lefty you are bowling against never has to move all night. Yeah sometimes he's shut out because the lanes are so oily - but that happens maybe once a year where I bowl. The rest of the year he has a great fresh shot all night long.  

Five lefties who actually realize that moving their feet will help them stay in the pocket and all on the same lane is mindboggling. Next thing you know I'll even hear about the concepts of changing the target board, ball speed or hand position.

Seriously, I've seen lefties averaging 200+ struggle when there were only 2 of them on a pair playing the same line.
