You have Steady Eddie who during tough conditions or when conditions change, his average(or games) only drop a few pins. Like 180, 210, 200. On "easier" conditions he shoots better,(225, 234, 230) strings more strikes but just can't carry enough to shoot that high 279-300 game or that 700-750 series. Steady Eddie is just that, he is pretty accurate, picks up his spares but just doesn't have the ball rotation or area to string all those strikes.

On the other hand you have Erratic Eric. On tough or changing conditions he manages to shoot a high game followed by two lower ones (145, 254, 169). On "easier" conditions he can manage to shoot that 700 series,(245, 279, 235). Erratic Eric is just that...erratic. On "wall" shots, he has the area and rotation to string them strikes and score high. But on tougher and changing conditions he struggles and misses spares.

Those "numbers" or games are just for reference.
During the season, who do you think will end up with the higher average?

I've said it before and I'll say it again........
As a stroker who can make spares,I'll more often lose to the cranker who can rip the cover off the ball,yet I'll make them work for it by only losing by 5-10 pins because they carried on or two more pocket hits than I did.I can make more spares because when I'm off by a board or two,I leave the single pin instead of the designer split.
Steady Eddie can raise his average and keep the consistency by experimenting with different drilling patterns and core/cover combinations than were available than in the past.
