Should Your League Shot Be A Secret?
« on: October 21, 2012, 09:57:57 PM »
Seems that no one wants to tell me the pattern at this new house I am at. I asked the League Secretary, nothing. I asked the front desk, nothing. I asked the Pro Shop operator, nothing, and finally I asked the Lane Man as he was doing our lanes before league and all I got was "I do not know". I said, well lemons knows because they must program the Kegel machine. He tells m that the morning person does that.

Is it wrong t ask wat the pattern is? I am trying t learn how to pay different shots and it would be nice apply the 31 rule based on some info and study the pattern online.

Thoughts?

TheGom - It's not wrong to ask of the center that you pay your hard earned money some questions! If getting lined up were as easy as some people think it is, they would all average 240+ Myself being 55 years old my 1st 3 shots are not full speed. For me, the more I know about what  I am bowling ahead of time, the better guess I make on where to start and go to when things change as they always do. So keep asking your questions-go up the chain of command or find someone that has good results there and talk to them, bowlers like to talk justlook above at the replies. Just weed out the idiots or the ones with cancer or f'ing league bowlers- HaHa

I don't always use the 31 rule, but i still only care about buff length on a pattern.

Actually sms getting lined up wouldn't mean everyone would average 240.  Pretty sure there are lots of guys at home that know where the outside corner is on a baseball field, but don't have the talent to throw it over 68mph....

You need talent too....and yes....people horribly overthink house shots.  It's a tophat...who gives a s**t about buff....or a -31 rule?  You stand somewhere left of your breakpoint and throw it right.  If you go face...your feet go left....and vice versa.
