Ah, physics. PBA Scorpion Champ. *Spoilers*
« on: December 23, 2013, 09:42:14 AM »
So somebody explain to me how Smallwood had something to do with tripping the 2 and the 4-7, and how it was Kent's fault that the pin laid so perfectly in the gutter and the messenger flew over just the right way to hit the tip of the pin in the gutter and prevent it from taking out the 10.  Tell me physics had nothing to do with it.  I really want to hear this. 
What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis?

Yea, couldn't have been luck or random chance. Same thing happened to me last week, I bought tickets for the Mega Lotto, and if it had not been for physics, I would have won.   ::)

Trolling troll is trolling lol . .  I do remember someone was trying to tell me, I forget who now, but someone was saying that pin carry was a direct result of the way someone threw the ball . .  Now luck or random chance is still governed by physics, of which a few billion mathematical equations go into to arrive at that final situation.  No luck or chance involved there at all, everything was a direct result of an equation, but it is CALLED luck or random chance because it is a rarely occuring result given the circumstances.  It was all, however, governed by physics.

Trolling? Really?

Or is it just someone making excuses for not being able to read the transition, throwing poor shots and then complaining when the other bowler gets an "undeserved" break?

You must never throw a cross over or drop it right and get it all the way back

I do as often as anyone else, but it still doesn't mean I got screwed by physics when I leave a pin on a "perfect" throw.

Glad to see such an exciting match! 

Small wood was awesome!  Marshall Kent a very talented PBA star when he decides to join.

I didn't know Smallwood's half inserted thumb led to softer speed.  Because when he goes to his spare ball it looks like his thumb is all the way in and man he can motor it down there!

Impressive performance.  Great bowling!

Regards,

Good bowling has always been about the long run.  In one game matches, random events can, and often do impact the outcome.    That doesn't mean there wasn't a reason why Kent left the 7-10.  I just means that the ball reaction on that particular shot was not proportionate to the quality of the release.  Over the course of many games Kent leaves a lot fewer 7-10s on that release, than Smallwood leaves 2-10 combos on his release.
