Track fans have to admit.....
« on: December 19, 2005, 03:44:51 AM »
Mr. Scroggins has not sold many balls the last two weeks.  Shots were light, ball finished weakly and not very impressive at all.  


He threw it like a league bowler ( I just had to say that ) !!!

While his ONE game performance the past 2 weeks has been well, you know....the fact that last week he was the ONLY lefty who made the 32 man match play speaks VOLUMES for how he bowled overall this past week and did quite well the previous week. Plus, with him being the $$ leader, points leader, etc, more people are going to see what he throws as he is up in the top 32 every week...

Ditto,  and the only person I might add I hate more than Mike Scroggins is Rick Lawrence.  At least Mikes swing if you call it that does stay the same every shot Rick Lawrence there is no telling what your going to get.  Granted yes they are PBA and yes I suck something awful but thats just the way I feel.

Yep, and I said that in another post as well. All I was mentioning was the pat 2 weeks when he pretty much dominated qualifying and match play...then had the mishaps on TV.

Also, if he has not used Track very much in the past, he still has to get used to it on the shows...remember 2-3 years back when he made like 3-4 shows in a row with Ebonite and never won a game????? Maybe its the lights, who knows!

ZERO balls are sold to people watching the PBA telecast as a result of PBA bowlers using any ball. That is a fact, not a guess.

So what Scroggins does or does not do with a Track ball has no effect on their sales. And there is no rational reason why it should.

Sure - Tell that to Brunswick who sold a gazillion Absolute Inferno's after last years great run.  It is all about perception and the perception is those Track Balls are not getting it done.

Nod,
you are correct,during Brunswicks great run last season with the Absolute Inferno,your 2 shops sold more of them than anything else, based on the pba tv coverage,everybody had to have "that ball that was on tv winning"

Oh boy. If you only knew. Why do you think people are always asking what the pros are throwing on the telecast.

I am not telling anyone. They told me.

Example: after Walter Ray won the Johnny Petraglia Open 5 or 7 years back, using the original Helix, the Pro shop in that very center had 3 Helixes in stock. They never sold one of them and the hundreds of people watching the finals knew exactly what ball was used. The Pro shop dumped them for $15 each a few yers later after getting sick of looking at them.

99% of the people watching TV have no idea what ball is being  used. Even when it was the AI, they didn't know that. Too many balls look alike. Even here where posters are dedictaed ball watchers, few have any clue which ball is being used.

My wife is a RN and according to her she says it looks like he has had or has a thyroid disorder (I forgot what exactly the disorder is called, she knows though). She said his eyes bugging out are a tell tale sign of it!

AMEN to that one....I agree with Charlest entirely here. Using myself as an example, I have never to this day bought a ball because it was on TV. I buy all of my balls based on what I read about them, the testing of them, the RG's and Differentials, the type covers, the type cores, etc. and not what someone used on TV.

You guys shouldn't make fun of Mike none of you could probably beat him in fact a couple of years ago if I'm not mistaken he averaged 257 in a league any of you ever done that how about Walter Ray not even making a show this year you gonna tell me he's no good to.

That's a bad example. At that time the Helix cost close to $300. I dont care if WRW won 10 titles and avg 300, there was no way I was going to buy a $300 ball. Now if you used the Danger Zone as an example.....
