Some people that think they understand bowling will say carry down is a myth.
It is not.

Also all bowling balls regardless of type Reactive,plastic, or urethane create carry down. (Transition) of the oil pattern. They just create it differently.  Other factors come in to play as well.

Anyway I was bored so I decided to give you all a bowling🎳 lesson rather you wanted it or not.😃

I envy your bowling knowledge. So much I don't about the sport

Thanks I actually understand the concepts of what needs to be done to score higher, and be better at the game then I can actually bowl myself.

Yes that would actually apply to me.I actually have helped many beginning league bowlers get better to the point. If they actually got hooked no pun intended on the sport side of bowling.  They would then go seek a real coach which would always be my goal when I try and help someone improve their game.

You having actually met me in person can probably guess for obvious reasons why I might be able to motivate or inspire someone to get better at bowling even if my own personal bowling ceiling is lower for obvious reasons then the average person.

I have found though by learning as much as I can I have actually gotten a lot better at bowling then people who knew me when I first took up bowling regularly at age 19.  Im now 53 so almost 35 years ago.  Yes in the last 3 and a half decades the game has changed. The balls alone are very different now then they were when I first took up bowling.

I have a very good friend who at best is an ok golfer but he's a great teacher. Knows how & what to do but because of his own physical limitations can't implement everything himself into his game

Exactly! Same concept. My game of choice though involves a bigger ball.😃🎳

Golf and bowling do actually have some things in common.  Bowling has hazzards just like golf.  You just can't really see the hazards in bowling.  The weather outside can effect both your golf game, and it can have an impact on the lane conditions in side the bowling center. Even if how the weather outside is having a impact on how the lanes are playing inside.

That being said while  Golf⛳ and bowling🎳 Have more in common than some may think.  The two games are different. In golf you don't have to worry about what your opponent is doing will change the course.

In bowling each person throwing a shot down the lane will have an impact on how the lanes play as the match goes on. How one person chooses to play the lane will factor into adjustments the other bowlers make, and how soon they make them. Rather it be adjustments to your targeting zone or a ball Change.

Yes the guy throwing urethane will have an impact on how quickly the pattern transitions.

Yes right handers can effect left handers and vice versa.  Like I always tell other bowlers when they first start out though take what the lane is giving you at that time, not what you think you are entitled to.

Pay attention to what other bowlers are doing regardless of their dominant hand they will effect your choices as the match goes on.

At the same time though don't get too hung up on what another bowler is doing. If another bowler throwing urethane effects your game that much maybe just maybe you are not nearly as good as you think you are.

I will be reminding myself of these things on Friday night.  I already know the other team has a lefty like me. Unlike me though he doesn't use a thumb, and loves to throw urethane. He will definitely have a impact on how quickly the pattern will transition for me tomorrow night.  At the same time though if I get too hung up on what he is doing, and how it effects what I'm trying to do. I simply just ain't that good!😐

What ball do you use? Reactive or MCP?

What ball do you use? Reactive or MCP?





I have 6 or 7 I gave several away.

4 or 5 of them I use regularly depending on what I'm bowling on.

I have one true urethane which I use sporadically.  1 plastic ball from 97 that I still use in my house league when I feel like I have the energy to throw it the others are all some variation of reactive resin.  One solid and a couple of hybrid resin balls.

Which 3 I usually bring with me at least to the Friday league depends on what pattern we are bowling on.

No bowling is not exactly cheap.  I am however probably spending less to bowl twice a week, not counting occasional tournaments. Then an avid golfer is spending on weekly greens fees.
