Will Werribee be laying down the same shot as in last weekend's youth tournament?

Werribee said:
Wayne,

thank you for your comments on the Werribee Youth. The kids certainly had to think about their shot over the weekend and we have been commended by many people over our choice of pattern (congrats to Paul and Craig and special thanks to the mix bowlers who did our pattern score testing with us).

What people have to understand is that is a small sample of what they will find on an international scale.

The Werribee Cup won't be as tough.

Thanks all

Edi

You were right...they weren't as tough.

WHAT A JOKE!

Hey Wayne,

Seems all you do is bag good scoring conditions.

Have a look at the bottom 16 compared to the top 16, paints a different picture.

Abuse...

Had I bowled, I most likely would have been right at the bottom of the list. But then, I haven't picked up a ball in over 2½ years.

Since you saw fit to take me to task over my posting, maybe you can be man (or woman) enough to put a name to you opinion. I certainly do, and I'm pretty easy to find if you want to discuss bowling.
And if you read the post carefully, you'll see that I was having a go at Edi from Werribee Bowl for not telling the truth when I asked her if the conditions would be similar to those laid down for the Werribee youth Tournament.
 
Wayne has proven himself at the highest level already, so lets just leave the personal stuff at that.

As for the condition, both of you have a good point. Abuse is right, because it shows that no matter how people perceive the lanes, you've still gotta bowl at your absolute best to get those scores of the top 16.

But Wayne definitely has a point. The Youth condition was widely regarded as tough, yet rewarding because of the thought required to make your shots. I didn't see the condition in question, but ultimately the best bowlers on the day rose to the top, and the bottom 16 see where their game needs to be at to be more competitive on the said 'higher scoring' conditions.
 
hey...
i bowled the youth and open events
yes the youth cup was a tougher condition, but the tourni was also a ranked event the werribee cup was not, the cup condition also made u think as it broke down alot faster than the youth cup condition. having bowled both tourni's i think my words are justified.

to Edi and the team at Werribee, thank you for the two different, yet equally challenging conditions.
 
just a quick note

you will find that the scores accross the board was down 10 pins per player on last year

at werribee youth we ran 24.6 ml per lane over 38' (this was at 2.75 : 1 being a nationally ranked tournament, and as you would know, at 38" we could have tipped it up to 4:1)

at werribee cup we ran 21.3 ml per lane over over 40" (this is our current house shot) which has been recently boosted from 16.4 ml per lane

the same condition will be used at the marathon being another event not governed by any TBA lane policy

then in between we will be running the new tba rachuig patterns for the rachuig trials which will be 20.4 ml per lane over 37' for the short condition and 24.8 ml over 41' for the long condition

now more than anyone, i have to keep a balance between keeping people happy and laying out a challenging conditions for the bowlers who pay my wages.

a task you would agree not to be an easy one, i believe i do well at what i set out to achieve.

now in the last month, i have been challenge by bowlers with bad techniques and poor practise agenda's to why they can't average 200+ anymore

i have been challenged by parents who think that an australian shirt gives you the right to score and make the cut at what ever event you turn up for, and to a point being blamed for this childs possible exclusion to this years FIQ

as you can see, i can't win, so don't think for one second, "the words JOKE or ABOMIDATION" make me lose any ounce of sleep or they will influence me in any way in the future in the decisions i make prior to how i am going to condition any lanes today, tomorrow or in the next 12 months.

you can bag what i do, to whoever you like, all it is doing is exposing you for being very closed minded about a process which takes weeks of development to get right.

i believe i am using our kegel machine exactly what it is designed for.

did you know that one of the pba patterns this year is averaging 245+ on T.V this year?

i also noticed that 230+ was needed to make the 8 at the world cup

now on my mediocre platform being the werribee cup last weekend, they got to score

big deal, it seems as though they have the right on higher platforms and yet it goes unchallenged

why don't we speak about this??? in the same context ????

not telling the truth equates to saying telling a lie does it not ???

edi replied to that earlier question post this comment

The Werribee Cup won't be as tough.

now whats so hard to understand in that comment ???

we hear what we want to hear, we see what we want to see and obviously can make up whatever we want to make up
 
I don't normally go into this stuff, but I'd like to commend Werribee bowl and the technicians who set the pattern for, in particular, the Werribee Youth Cup this year. It was good to bowl in a tournament where you really had to think about your shot, and it made sparing all the more important. You couldn't miss easy spares and expect to pick up the game with 6 or 7 strikes. I learnt so much out of that 10 games, it was invaluable experience. And it also made the 268 I shot in the last game of the day more special to me, because it had to be earnt with hard work for a change, and a bit of thinking...instead of missing your mark by 3 boards and watching the ball roll into the pocket... every shot had to be on target to score.

In terms of the Werribee Cup just gone, I wasn't there so I can't comment. But if it was high scoring, and bowlers took advantage of it, good luck to them. The pattern may have been easier but the best on the day still won. I'm sure those bowlers know that when they face a tough pattern they need to be on top of their game to score well. Sports patterns are always good practice. Why not start a sports series down there to see who really can score on the tough shots. Lose 50 pins in a game then and see how easy it is to get back :)

In closing, I know from experience how hard it is to keep bowlers happy with conditions. It's a catch 22 situation... they shoot 220+ average and it's too easy and bad for the sport, if they can't average the magical 200 then the conditions are shocking, bad, too hard, "tech doesn't know what he's doing" etc etc etc. What do you do? Pretty much what Craig said - the same stuff gets said all the time, techs don't lose much sleep over it. The best bet is to get a regular sports series going, that will show who can bowl in any situation.
 
Craig,

The PBA is a joke and each and every exempt player knows it. This is an Australian forum, therefore I don't say too much about the PBA.

The scoring on tour is ridiculous and meant to be only a means to show off the PBA players' ability. To tell you the truth, bowling worldwide has become a joke. What has happened to the "sport"? You know damn well that it's virtually impossible to lay down a condition that will be both fair and medium scoring, while holding up throughout the competition. I ask only that the powers that be (techs, owners, promoters, bowling officials and bowl managers) commit themselves to being open and completely honest in what they say and do.

You, my friend are guilty of a little trickery because of how you changed the emphasised word in Edi's quote from as to won't
Good try though..I'll have to give you points for that.
 
Firstly I would like to say thank you to Edi and all the staff at Werribee for yet another well run tournament :)

Having played in both of the tournaments in question, i believe i am fairly qualified to give an opinion on this topic.

Was the Cup pattern on the weekend easier then the Youth pattern? Absolutlely...

Did it require any less effort and thought to score? Absolutley not!!! Now i'm not saying it was a difficult condition by any means, but it wasnt as easy as people who didnt play on it seem to think... particularly after the re-oil before matchplay...

If you didnt match up right, you were in trouble on this condition... play too deep, you had an out of bounds... not enough ball surface, you had too much under-over... and lets ask pretty much everyone how many different, balls, lines & speeds they played in the search for an angle that would give them consistant carry :shock:

All in all, once again a good tournament. Congatulations to Chris and Carly on their wins... well deserved.

Look forward to seeing everyone there next year :)

Matto
