The ultimate goal is to throw a good ball and have the highest chance to strike.
I am trying to support bowlers in their quest to do this. In theory, it's all simple: walking, throwing, etc. But if we could all do it that well, there wouldn't be so many articles by so many different experts.
It's really not about bombarding bowlers with deep physics concepts. Besides, drawing a line between 2 points is hardly rocket science. But a bowler who wants to become more will need to understand the concept of the breakpoint and drawing a line from their target to their breakpoint. While on a house shot you can use any of the three breakzones, but generally speaking, a certain area will score better than others in any given house, even on THS.
I can understand that some might say just let them throw at a single target. Frankly on a house shot, many do that and can score pretty close to 200 because of the funneling effect of a THS. But ultimately that will not advance your game.
If anybody is interested in advancing their game, continue to read articles on this topic. I personally believe it's important to have a system that you feel comfortable with, whether it's a 2 point or 3 point or whatever aid you use. That's why I'm introducing the topic.
I think what some are trying to say is to simplify not complicate. I wholly agree with this. However, to simplify requires you to understand what you are simplifying. Some may accept "ignorance is bliss", but I don't personally subscribe to this if you would really like to get better at this sport of ours. Ultimately, each bowler needs to take in what they can and not overwhelm themselves. You decide what you can handle...
