I wanted to bring this up, and see what the general consensus is among those here who have been bowling a long time.
Our sport has been analyzied through science forwards, backwards, sideways-you name it. Launch angles, axis rotation, swing planes, rule of 31, Dual angle system, pin-bufffer system, you name it, it has been studied. With that said, if a bowler gets completely caught up in all of this it can cause what I call information overload.
I cant tell you how many bowlers I see who carry this over into their game, to the point where they second guess everything...im throwing this ball but I wonder if the one in the bag 60x4.5x30 would be better with more tilt...I know you guys have probably been guilty of it as I have too. Alot of time I have to decompress and take a step back, alot more than Id like to admit I bowl better when I get out of my own way so to speak.
So with this being said, do you think the game has gotten too complicated? And if so, do you think it has something to do with the decline in participation over the last 10-15 years?
