Things we bowlers complain about
« on: June 28, 2017, 03:11:19 PM »

I will start with some from another thread.  Have fun!

If there are too many releases they complain.
If there are fewer releases they complain.
If the shot is hard they complain.
If the shot is easy they complain.
If they hit between the 1 & 3 pins and don't carry they complain.
If they hit between the 1 & 2 pins and don't carry they complain.
If the league is sanctioned they complain.
If the league doesn't sanction they complain.
If they shoot 801 with 3 open frames they complain (they got robbed).

This ball hooks too much (or too little).

I had to move.

I shot 250 190 130.  Of course I didn't move, my shot just went away. So frustrated!

Lol @ "shot went away" Of course it did. A large majority of bowlers are so committed to bolting their feet to the big dot and NEVER moving, they would much rather make their way to their albatross 6 ball roller from 2008 and cycle through several asymmetrical, dull balls when all they have to do is move 2 and 1.

This is the I shot 1500 at USBC battle cry. "My 32*- 4 5/16- 72* ball is what I needed". Nevermind hitting what youre looking at or repeating the same mechanics 3 times in a row.

"You're wrecking the shot."

Shut up. Please. You don't even know what you're talking about.

"That ball has to be illegal."

No, I'm just better than you.

"Why can't things be the way they used to be?"

BECAUSE the only constant is change (death and taxes, but that's another subject.)

You guys all saying it all,  these bowlers ' are so comical,  the satisfaction I get while observing them, butch, whine, and complain, yet can't comprehend a single thing on the approach.  I get my popcorn ready for sure.  ;D

> rubber bowling balls to bowl league

Sorry to be pedantic and miss the point but I thought a lot of house don't let you throw rubber any more because it trashes modern lanes?  Curious about that.

Well, you wouldn't want to be responsible for the nose bleed he would get if he had to move his feet, now would you?

Still plenty with rubber house balls. It varies center to center I'm guessing
