Hey Scott,
I think yes that is the case and agree with you, pressure will always play a roll in spare shooting. I also believe that we should not try and be like the pro's. I know that for me I bowl three games a week. Last night I bowled for the first time since Orange, 10 days. Timing was a bit out and blew three single pins and chopped three other spares. It happens. But if your swing and technique is sound the spares should be pretty easy. If you bowl three times a week for example I would expect you to be 95% on spares.
When looking at spare shooting of the pro's I like to watch Norm Duke, Walter Ray these guys probably do it better than any one. I heard a comment once by Norm Duke, he said that he saw Walter Ray miss a ten pin and he had to go out side to see if it was snowing as it was the first one he missed in ten years...!
To be that good would be great, that takes dedication and practice.
