Title: How many throws is considered 1 Game
Post by: trash heap on December 13, 2011, 08:15:45 AM

Just curious. Example - If a ball manufacturer is stating ball needs maintenance after 100 games. How many throws is that? Is "1 Game" on a ball considered 10, 12, or  20 throws?

Probably looking a little too deep into this...it's just a general guideline.

 The max. Number of throws you could do per game is 21. Thats two throws for each of the first nine frames (18 throws) and three for the tenth frame.(3 throws) 18+3=21

Well if it is 10 throws vs. 21 throws that's a considerable difference. It's performing maintenance at 1000 throws or 2100 throws. Imagine if a bowling app could keep track of this for you. I have 7 bowling balls that I use on a regular basis. I know for me I lose track of this stuff.   It's usually when I am on the lane and I notice a ball needs some routine maintenance. If I could keep track of this, then I am on top of it. I am doing routine maintenance at correct intervals. It might even help keep a ball around a lot longer.

Agreed, 110%

 

Trash heap,

 

Use 15 as a general average, but your ball and your delivery and your lane surfaces could require 30 games or 150 games. It depends on too many factors. Look at the ball and look at the ball reaction, Keeping changing oil patterns and weather and use of the lanes in mind when making the judgment. There is no formula.
