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).

 The cost of sanctioning.
 The awards ABC gave out.
 The lack of awards USBC gives out.
 Other bowlers.
 Having to follow the rules.
 People who do not follow the rules.
 People who don't even KNOW the rules.
 Sticky approaches.
 Slick approaches.
 League starts too early.
 League starts too late.

 You name it, bowlers will complain about it.


 And, while I know that I am not a bowling Einstein, I do know a bit, and I simply love hearing bowlers complaining about "how stupid" somebodies release is, and then they turn around and do something themselves that makes them look totally ridiculous.

 The one that always sticks out to me is hearing someone talk smack about the way somebody else throws the ball, only to watch them throw serious shots that are so poorly executed that it makes me giggle. Pot calling the kettle.............?
Learn to laugh, and love, and smile, cause we’re only here for a little while.

Overheard while bowling on WTBA Beijing in my sport shot league last night:

"If the PBA put a shot out this hard, all the members would quit"

Yeah, well sport shot league will attract good bowlers looking to do what I personally call, real bowling. It'll also attract that group who, while I respect them showing up for it (compared to the vast majority of house shot guys), look at it as a sort of novelty, and just talk about how hard it is.

Bowlers who play the same line,yet complain that the line hooks too much/too early, but  WILL NOT MOVE their feet, eyes, target, nothing, and will just change balls,hoping for that magical perfect reaction to come back, only to make it worse. These bowlers' are the worst that I've seen.

Yet again as many of us have mentioned over the years, why this sport will never be taken seriously, or get true respect.

Last but not least,  bowlers' also kill me when they say the Lanes are too dry,  yet they use the most aggressive /midlevel equipment they (won't buy a entry level ball if you even showed proof of how it benefits lighter conditions).

Oh the life of bowling, if bowlers aren't complaining, their not happy.

Because the PBA guys make this pattern look like a house shot.
