Mixed league rant...
« on: September 21, 2006, 06:32:58 PM »
So I subbed last night in a mixed league...Mostly drinkers, straight bowlers and a good team here and there..

Anyway on are pair we had 7 (total) straight plastic throwers...Right down the middle (pretty much, lol)

Check out this set:

262-135-132

First game everything was going great...After all that plastic moved the oil down, I was screwed !

Needless to say I will never sub in that, nor any mixed "fun" league !

Seems like I just tossed my $5 right out the window

Damn straight bowlers !

I bet 302 stands in the same place all night and just makes ball changes in order to cover the most boards.  He probably brings his 6 ball bag to a THS league.  Sets up a picnic in the left gutter, and doesn't move the whole night.  

My idea of not fun:  throwing a shot and having the ball wash out every time, don't be afraid to make a move.  That's not bowling, thats standing around.


6 ball roller !?

LOL!

Thats for the Robo-Arm late 30's early 40's "tourney" bowlers !

I took in one ball (Epic Battle) and my Tour Ultra's...nothing else

Ball in one hand shoes in the other...

Where I play, no one else does..but I gotta have a some dry to bounce it off of !

You posted a rant on a public forum that is opposite of what 90% of the bowlers on here agree with and then expect people to not reply and be against what you are saying?  Think about it.  And yes, there are quite a few "non-fluffers" who will play the twig on a THS.  It's called developing a B & C Game.

Exactly! Its a public forum, great anit it ?!

I could care less if people agree or not...Same thing I say when I cash in the brackets.

Just because 90% on here claim they don't like it or do, don't mean they don't it!!!

You really think all these 200+ avg's posted on here are from Sport Shots and PBA patterns ? ! LOL!

Most of these people are mad they can't turn the ball, thats all.

This is sad.  

The first sad part is; the line "If the shot doesnt fit my game...then i wont bowl...bottomline" I cant even describe how funny it is to here someone who considers themselves any kind of a comoetitive bowler to make that statement.  You are saying, that if the shot isnt easy (for you), than you are not going to play.  

Good bowlers find a way to score on a VARIETY of conditions, and are excited to be on shots that they dont match up withm to learn ho to score there.

The second sad part is "Only Fluffers play the gutter on a houes shot". Not true. The best players i know play the house shot down and in. Always. More Hook/More Boards DOES NOT equal high scores

The Last Sad Part Is: An 219 bowler being whipped by straight bowlers, because he "doesnt want to adjust".

A Good bowler would have moved around, changed balls, changed hand position ect to find a way to score (if it matters as much as you seem to think it does). And you didnt.  Sad
--------------------
Thats just my opinion, I could be wrong

My current quote: "Oh Split"


Never said: Hook equals higher scores...did I ?

No.

If I dont wanna bowl on the shot, then I won't...Too bad for you.

Remember you gotta pick your battles wisely

Also..I never claimed I was a "good bowler", did I ?

I bowl to:

~ Turn the ball
~ Cross boards
~ Cash in the brackets

If I bowl in a league that don;t work for me, then I'm done.

Most people are mad because they can't turn the ball????????????

That has to be one of the lamest statements I've ever seen made.  Since when does turning the ball or covering boards make anyone a better bowler?  Your statements  stand for exactly why this sport is on the decline.  Bottom line!

You know its ture...Look at:

How many things claim to "get you more revs"

How strong the balls are and some are actually advertised to "help low rev bowlers"

Say what you will, but everything some low rev player sees a cranker covering boards it and blowing out racks, it gets in there mind and shakes them up.

Also, I never said that this, this & this will make you a better bowler did ?

Once again..No.

See you know in your mind and are already know its true !

evidently to keep you from cashing in your brackets all the time others just need to throw plastic

Epic Battle on a THS??? I hope you have some oil out there and about a 12 board window

I could polish a SBC and make it work, but it doesn't mean it's suited for that.  Typical cross as many boards a possible.  That explains the 219 avg.  Put 302 on any non THS shot and he might as well throw his shoes at the pins.  Better yet how about a THS w/ carrydown?  I hope you have some heavy shoes.
