Grip and rip the ball - send the ball out and watch it come back
Sorry, but I disagree with the above comment, please tell, is missing your target, at either dots or arrows, a mistake? the more you miss by, the bigger the mistake.
the person who wins tournaments regularly is the person who makes the LEAST amount of mistakes - not the person who makes no mistakes
A person who Grips and Rips as you say will be missing their targets fair often, creating alot of mistakes. Throw these guys on a tough shot, and, as the US Open proved, they are usless. Hitting boards consistantly is not the aim of the game anymore for most bowlers. It's hitting that roughage kinda area around 15ish board, yeah if I get it through there with enough revs I hopefully will get lucky enough to strike.
No offence to anyone out there, but I simply believe that people can still bowl and stroke the ball and still win. The ability to throw 20 revs at 25km is good a shot to have, but useless if you cant hit the backside of a barn. People could be taught how to bowl, and from there increase the amount of power in their game if nessacary.
Now, there are some great bowlers out there who 'Grip and Rip' there always will be the guys who have that natural ability to crank the ball hard and be good at it. But to be the best they still have to be accurate. But the Natural ability to do it is what is required. Theres no point teaching a a skinny little bloke to whack the hell out of it if he can't control it or throw it consistantly. Teaching a guy that has muscle to him the be able throw some revs is not a bad thing, has he has the natuaral ability to do it. Simply, allowing people to bowl in their own unique style is the best way to see them achieve in any game. Trying to make everyone the same only creates awesome bowlers that have the natural ability to throw that shot. In other words guy who can throw the big shots naturally will do well, the guys that can't, wont so as well as what they could do throwing a simpler shot down the boards.
What I'm getting at is let the bowler decide how they want to bowl, whether it be with awesome amounts of power covering all the boards on the lane, or the guy who covers 7 throwing straight up 10. Let the bowler decide then coach them from there, dont make desicions for them.
Just My opinion, feel free to blast me if you totally disagree
Later Da Cowman!
