Hey all,
Everyday somewhere around the world people are complaining that the lanes are getting to easy and the balls we are using are getting to powerful and its making the sport too easy.
Now me personally, i dont think the game is easy by any means, yes, scores have gone up but the fact of the matter is even though scores are going up noone has yet to average 300 for a tournament, so noone has acheived a perfect tournament.....records are meant to be broken for high game awards high averages and what not....and like everything technology is helping (or taking over) in all sports not just bowling.
Well here is an idea.
Over the past 50 years all the offence in the game has changed from new lane surfaces to new balls even the oil on the lane can make it easier for the bowler.....but the defence (the pins) have yet to be touched in weight (on a world scale)....people say thats unfair to the bowler who doesn't have a powerful shot??? well you tell a golfer just cause he is bigger to stop hitting the ball further than someone whose smaller...
Everyone has strengths and weaknesses in their game.... so if ur shot isnt as strong...you better make it more accurate.
The kegal machines are great...they allow not just easy shots to be laid but also extremly HARD ones too...trust me ive been aorund world and seen them...... so i disagree to Wayne Chester who said in another post Kegals are there only to lay down easy shots.
Thats my idea.....make the offence as easy as u want but at the same time change the deffence and i bet the scores will drop and maybe that will please some of the bowlers around the world!
Cheers
