Title: Mixed league rant...
Post by: 302efi 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 !

bowlingtourneycom - Say what you want, I was asked to sub 15 min before the league started. I didn't go in thinking I was going to hit my reg 219 avg, I wanted to have "fun"...

...but shooting bad is not my idea of "fun"

When I do tourney's I go in with the serious attitude, I didn't with this

Like I've always said, If the balls not hooking, I'm not having fun and I'd rather not bowl.

Changing lines and going straighter on a house shot broken down by plastic throwers is not fun and I don't sub for that, plain & simple.

Just not my kinda people to bowl with

One man's carrydown is another man's hold.  I would think someone that averages "219"  could figure that tricky mixed league pattern out.

Urethane Game - Maybe I was being a tad bit difficult ()...I just keep throwing the same line, hoping to hit the pocket and leave a easy spare...But I got nothing but spits and washouts...LOL

I could have took my pearl Cobalt and went up the gutter...but thats just not "my" game.

Serious though...In a serious money league, how many plastic throwers is there ?

Is a tourney ?

I bowled league last year, we followed a womens league with the same exact think, boy it was not fun at all, but I did learn a great deal about my game and how to adapt to the conditons.

 In leagues like the 302 you should have fun, throw plastic, play the ditch, play deep, do something you never ever do, and the heck with the scores lol

Because a shot doesn't fit YOUR game....not a valid excuse. That's a quitter's excuse. Learn a new game, learn a new line, learn to be versatile. Otherwise you're no better than the bowlers you are bashing here for throwing plastic straight down the lane as that is THEIR game.



For one these people have no "game"..They are beer drinkers thats looking for a night out. The center manger will tell you that, lol

Second, if the shot doesnt fit my game...Then I won't bowl...bottemline.

Why isnt there more PBA memebrs ?...

It's my money, time & energy...Why waste it tossing 130's...I won't, lol.

Nobody (maybe a fluffer) goes up the gutter on a house shot...I'll quit bowling before I do that

It's probably for the best that you don't sub there anymore.  If I were bowling in that league, I wouldn't want my night of fun dragged down by a whiny baby.

Doesn't sound like it was a house shot when you got there.  Might have started that way, but it certainly didn't end up that way.

So are you saying a walled up house shot is all that fits your game?  This should have been an oppotunity to improve other areas of your game.  Not to whine because the shot doesn't fit your game.  That is what I love about the house I bowl at, it's not the great wall of China.  If you carry a 220 avg there, you pretty much deserve it.  Don't get me wrong, it's not a PBA pattern or anything, just not nearly as forgiving as most of the centers are putting out.  THat's why we end up having so many people do good at tournaments.  We aren't stuck on a cake shot every week.

the fact that most of these players were "straight shooters" doesn't make them bad---most of the time walter ray williams, jr., and norm duke go pretty straight and there's no way you would be able to beat them. i have been bowling in a mixed league on saturdays for years now and this is something i face every week. when i encounter plastic ball carrydown i move right and square up even more. most of the time this works. when it doesn't i go to a ball with more surface.

By your own tacit acknowledgement, it was no longer a house shot in the traditional sense.  And yes, you will find tournaments where people are throwing plastic...not often, but it does happen that the condition turns to a grind out and plastic allows people to stay in play- if you aren't tossing plastic in that scenario, then you had better be prepared to deal with their remnants.  The play may be in a different part of the lane than you had, but it would still be something to contend with.

Many of us could have still had fun on the condition you described AND had a cheap practice session.  Most of us would not have continued to harm the team we were subbing for...

All you people are b!tching because I'm being honest ?

Oh yeah I forgot, the only shot all you bowl on is Sport shots & PBA patterns right ?

Yep.

I made the mistake of subbing in a fun league and I'll never do it again..Lesson learned.

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.

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...

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.

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

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 !

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.

   Can i ask what a robo-arm bowler is?  Also bowling in a mixed league isnt for everyone and i am surprised that they had subs the one i bowl in with my wife is you roll off or you dont show that is it. I also bowl in a week night league that is serious, my mixed league is my form of practice.

Plus if you are subbing on someone else's team you kind of have to accept that they could have a way of doing things that is different from you.  When in Rome, figure out how to bowl with straight bowlers, right?

Yea, that's it. If he came and subbed in my mixed league I wouldn't want him there either.  He's much too good for the rest of us recreational bowlers.  He should definitely look into turning Pro or something.  It's terrible him coming into our fun leagues just to take our money.

Nut, he said that he doesn't want to play the twig.  

I'm going to play devil's advocate on this one.  302 has made it very clear that he does not enjoy shooting low games.  Bowling on a fresh THS will allow him to stay away from that.  If he enjoys the game the way HE bowls it, who is anyone to put him down for it?  Does limiting yourself to only bowling on a fresh THS scream "I'm a pansy afraid to look bad"?  Well yes, it really does, but if 302 chooses to be that way, let it go.  He's enjoying the game his way, we enjoy it a different way.

I had more fun last night subbing in the second shift carry down crap "rainbow league".  Out practicing someone asks me to sub and bowl for free?  Count me in.   I had more fun playing cards and shooting 570.

Ok this is expected from a mixed league.  Common sense will tell you if you have a bunch of people throwing plastic balls down the lane that they will carry down the oil.  Duh 219 average bowl should know this already.  Oh wait I forgot he is only a 219 average bowler cause he only bowls when the shot benefits him.  Man are you pathetic.  I agree with shelley's comment, league is better off without a whinner like you around.  Grow up.

I visited your webpage, very cool!

However, I wanted to point out that if you're throwing the Ice and a Gyro that I saw on your page, they're not plastic balls (so welcome to the reactive age!)

It doesn't matter if you throw 'em straight or hook the snot out of 'em, the one who knocks down the most pins wins.  Every time.

A bowler should simply adjust to what ever condition they are bowling on whether it be THS, Sport or anything in between!

Because a shot doesn't fit YOUR game....not a valid excuse. That's a quitter's excuse. Learn a new game, learn a new line, learn to be versatile. Otherwise you're no better than the bowlers you are bashing here for throwing plastic straight down the lane as that is THEIR game.



Second, if the shot doesnt fit my game...Then I won't bowl...bottemline.


What a pathetic attitude.  The only way to get better and compete at the higher levels (PBA) is to learn to bowl on different shots.

Wow!

I see you people had fun with this topic while I was on business for the week weekend.

All you mixed leaguers, have "fun" and bowl...

All you sport-shot people have your "fun" and bowl....

and last but not least, all you THS people, have FUN and avg high!

I never thought that this topic would hit so many people where it hurts !

..but not matter what anybody says, you know most bowlers are looking to HOOK the ball more, lol

Some of us can and some of us can't...Don't be upset that you can't !

You guys are in fantasy land if you think plastic balls, "slop up the shot". You are talking about maybe a two board adjustment, the THS is still the THS even with plastic ball bowlers on them. I have subbed many times with handicapped bowlers and there is  virtually NO DIFFERENCE! Plastic balls screwing up the shot is a myth perpetuated by bad bowlers.


Well it don't mess your line up because your tossing down the middle with them !

i guess im just stating what everyone else said but i think its kinda sad that you automatically put this league on the back burner just because you didnt bowl a 600 series. imo you choked. it doesnt matter if other bowl straight or how they bowl, if you are that confident on your abilities by signing off on this league because of the other inferior bowlers and their styles, then you should be experienced enough to be able to modify your shot to still bowl within the reach of a 600. if you dont, stop looking for ways to blame it on other elements. ive bowled a 639 one week, then went back the next week and found the lane to completely bone dry. my ball would hook into the gutter half way down the lane. i ended up using my plastic spare ball and it would still have a massive hook, but i had to adjust. sure i bowled less then what i was hoping for, but i dont stop going to that alley because of one misfortune. (it was open bowling, not a league)

just my $0.02

Shot 689 and had a bunch of beer and my woman was looking good in those tight jeans.


May I assume seeing that you shot 689, that no one was spraying plastic all over the lanes to mess up your shot?

Well, now I've got an idea why you didn't show up for the Orlando get-together.  Sounds like you are a one house, one line bowler.  Didn't want to show up and embarrass yourself if your shot wasn't there.

Ouch SrKegle, that hurt...

I just didn't really see the point in driving 60 miles east to bowl when I can do the same thing local.

..and another thing, you guys are just to good for me !

You guys are totally Sport-shot kings  

Remember, I don't bowl on Sport-Shots all the time like you guys do!

Bump.

Everyone, please adjust your preferences so you can read all four pages of replies and better understand the mentality of the poster that thinks revs and wall shots are all that matter and that PBA experience leagues and sport shots are garbage.  Of course, if you do another search, you'll see he was proud of an 11 strike one open performance in practice.  Now he wants you to believe that he averages 219, has an 856? series and cashed in a regional.  Uh huh...

You should come join my monday night men's league at Sunset Station, they give us the lanes with a 20 foot head run on top of open play lanes that were used the entire day. The shot is harder and more accurate than PBA shots, i have bowled a team usa 50 ft pattern with flat oil that makes this look easy.

The plastic play with the addition of the medium-heavy head run make it just stupid to figure out, move right it and the ball jumps move left and the ball wiggles. Brutal brutal brutal is all i can say, i watched a july high roller on the pair next to me shoot back to back 170's. I out scored him for the set but not on his pair, kind of felt good to be honest

Nails you didnt make a post, you just bumped my old thread from 2 years ago.

People will care if they want to, no need to coach them into anything.

Almost sound the the Dems on TV

"You shouldnt like this person because of..."

The funny part about all this, you hardly had any posts in the other topic at all, but yet your quick to bump and old, out dated topic. Why not just jump in there and get it out ? Seems a little cowardly, huh ?

So I had a bad time a few years ago, I went back the next week and did pretty decent. I beleive I took out a really dull Thing Lives and crushed the condition. Lesson learned.

1 more thing, you are acting like a sportshot is impossible to over come.

Lets say you have 8 bowlers on a pair with 15 mins of pratice. If you get all 8 bowlers tossing 80 grit (lol) balls and burn a hold spot and decent line, your good to go. Not to say that your gonna put up 260's out the gate, but you can put together a dencent set if you have a decent game, no ?

I mean, the pros get 1/2 hour of practice on the TV lanes before the lights come on, correct ?

Now if your shooting singles with only 2 on a pair..Then your going to have problems
