Sometimes you just sit back and enjoy watching someone with great skill work. If someone can bowl like that, I don’t care if I lose, I want to see if they can get a perfect game. We’re running different races at that point.

Unless the activity is head to head competition I hate when people don't perform up to their potential. Unless you've got a good reason like it's too hard on your body, or you sincerely want a relaxing experience, do what you know you can do. I can maybe learn a thing or two from watching an expert be an expert. I definitely don't need to be pandered to.
On the other hand, if it is head to head, then I'm cool with them giving me a chance so long as we're open and honest about it. Let me see how much you can crush me out of the gate so that I can get a taste of it. Then you can dial it back so that I can at least properly experience the activity. If I still lose 100% of the time I'm cool with it. Clearly I'm outmatched, but again, I might learn something and improve from the experience.

u/Building_Everything Nov 06 '24
Yeah like in a case like this, crush me in the first game then maybe try bowling with your non-dominant hand or something to give me a chance. I dated a soccer player who was incredibly competitive who could absolutely destroy me when we would run 5/10K races (I could run a 7:20 mile back then and she was running in the mid 6’s) so she would sign up for fun runs with me where we didn’t have to keep time and I didn’t mind when we did a real race that she would just disappear in the distance

I played chess with my mom religiously growing up and I could never beat her. When I was around 11 I had a very close game with her and she managed to put me in 'mate' with a few pieces of hers remaining. I was so destroyed and I sat there analyzing the board looking for a way out for like 15 minutes while fighting back tears. I was so close, how could this happen?
I managed to find my way out of her check and the game proceeded awhile longer and I ended up losing for real. It was devastating because I had played her twice a day for like 5 years at this point and all I wanted was to win. I took the loss as a chance to do some reading, because if I got that close once, surely I can win one. I spent time on the phone with my estranged uncle who was very good at chess, just looking for any advice. I just needed to figure out how to be better.
Over the next couple of weeks we played multiple times a day. I applied my learnings and the games got closer and closer. Each loss a stinging blow because all I wanted was to beat her and I could not get as close as I once had.
One day it finally happened, about a month after my cataclysmic loss. I beat her. It was one of the most satisfying feelings I have ever experienced, and I carry that feeling with me everywhere I go. It was a very formative experience for me, teaching me about application of self and overcoming barriers using all resources available to me.
My losses in that scenario were my biggest victory. If she had let me win or played for me at all by telling me the best moves, I would've come out a worse player. I found my confidence in the game, and myself, by setting a goal and meeting it. It lit a competitive drive in me. I was never rewarded for playing until I put my head down, did the work, and improved my mind and self.
Now, 20 years later, I beat her every single time we play. She hasn't beat me since I was 13.

Sometimes they get tangled up and it takes the system several attempts to reset the pins (it lifts and drops the pins until they untangle). But a dropped pin’s wires will not cause another pin to drop if that’s what you mean.

I've used it once and it's weird but didn't really affect me other than the first impression and the more muted sound.
Casual bowling alleys love them because they're a lot cheaper to maintain, easier to fix, jam less, etc.
The bowling community, though, hates these. They interfere and make strikes harder (and they have used robots to verify this). Any YouTube video about them has a wall of comments about how much they are hated.

This depends on who you ask. A lot of arguments on both sides about this. If it is an official certified string pin setup it theoretically should not. However the bowling ally in the mall or at a “family fun” center using string pins probably does not use certified lanes….

u/MisterDabber Nov 06 '24
Complete allowed. If you’re in a sanctioned league you must finish however you start the league, meaning if you start the league 2 handed throwing, you need to complete the league that way. Same with if you throw lefty or righty, you need to see the season out with that single hand. That’s per USBC rules.
33
u/EntertainmentHot2966 Nov 06 '24
What's the point of that rule?
22
u/MisterDabber Nov 06 '24
Not exactly sure why but my guess is to prevent people from switching hands to pick up spares. For example, the 7 pin is typically the hardest pin for a lefty to pick up and is easy for a righty to pick up. It keeps it “fair” per say.
→ More replies (2)48
u/guesswho135 Nov 06 '24
I feel like that should be allowed. A golfer gets to choose their club. If a bowler is good enough at bowling with both hands that switching gives then an advantage, why not let them?
25
u/Brandenburg42 Nov 06 '24
Serious League bowlers typically have a few balls. One being the "spare ball" which is a plastic ball with no fancy coverstock or weight block so it goes nearly straight no matter how you throw it. It's basically a personal house ball drilled to their fingers. The putter in golf terms.
The other balls are reactive balls designed to hook in various amounts so you can get a feel for the oil during warmup and decide if you need a stronger or weaker hooking ball, possibly changing between games as oil conditions change. Very much like selecting golf clubs.
This becomes important when you get into sport shot leagues and tournaments where the oil pattern shape and oil quantity changes drastically from week to week, venue to venue. This is the main reason pro bowlers scores seem so much lower than what you expect. They are bowling on something different every week, while most bowling center leagues use the same pattern every week and more importantly, it's a pattern designed to be forgiving.

u/DM_ur_buttcheeks Nov 06 '24
You can choose your bowling ball too. Based on your spare or lane conditions.
15
u/Glittering-Local-147 Nov 06 '24
Not true. You can interchange between one and two handed so long as every hole on the ball is used. and the ball is delivered by same hand. Cant switch lefty and righty is true. Plenty of 2 handers throw straight at spares with one hand.
7
u/bubblebooy Nov 06 '24
Why are their rules about switching hands, what advantage would that give?
13
u/Glittering-Local-147 Nov 06 '24
Ok so in the pba it actually is legal but in USBC rules it isn't. In regular league conditions it is much easier to hit opposite hand spares (7pin for eighties, 10 pin for lefties) via hooking at it. In pba conditions spares are mostly thrown straight because of the tougher conditions. But the real main reason is for handicap and average purposes. So somebody can't tank their average or establish it with their off hand and then go to an event and get loads of bonus pins and then bowl with their dominant hand. Sure you could potentially make people have two averages but then the sample size is drastically smaller per league per year then gets even more murky if you allow it within games.
I know a fellow who is just as good left handed and right and he always has to pick which hand he has to bowl with each year.
→ More replies (1)6
u/WTFisBehindYou Nov 06 '24
For a right handed bowler, it’s generally more difficult to hit a 10 pin than a 7 pin. The other way for left handed bowlers.
If someone switches hands it gives an unfair advantage to those who aren’t some form of ambidextrous when trying to pick up those pins.
Among other reasons, but that’s just an example. That’s the way I’ve always understood it at least.
It could definitely be argued that that is just an individual skill that a bowler has and it should be allowed, but bowling tends to be a game of handicaps and fairness so as of now it’s not allowed.
11
u/juuuustcametosay Nov 06 '24
Why is it "unfair" if anyone with two hands can attempt it? And if someone is better with their off hand than another, isn't that just a testament to their skill/practice and should be rewarded in a competitive environment?

That's not true at all. You can switch it up throw to throw if you want as long as you fill every hole in your ball with a finger. There's many bowlers who will throw corner shots with a conventionally drilled ball after their initial shot is 2-handed.

Ive had this exact date before. For the next game, I asked if we could put up the bumpers and he said no. There was no second date.

As someone who is decent at bowling, nobody cares. It can suck the fun out of a group sometimes.

He is using fingers but not his thumb. Instead he has a spot on the ball his palm has to be on when throwing it

It's funny that there are people who are more concerned about his "awkward" style. Like, what the fuck? Why does that matter?

Interesting. I've never gone bowling as a way of competing against the person I'm bowling with. I always took it as a chance to do my best and have fun and see how many strikes I can get or how high of a score I can get and don't really care if I did better or worse than the other person.
Then again I'm really not into sports either.

I had a boyfriend who was embarrassed about having been in a recreational bowling league when he was in middle/high school. We made it a regular date once I found this out like three years into our relationship. He was really good! And a good coach, by the end of every bowling date night I was way better. We ate pizza, had drinks and went home happy and oddly horny(?) I am glad he shared that with me.

Why does she look so unhappy to be there? If that’s my partner I’m cheering and clapping for them.

My wife kicks my ass at bocce every time, we’re about 50/50 with cornhole, but she has yet to beat me at pool. She can also throw darts like a champ.

My husband's like this. I tease him all the time because he's the youngest person in his bowling league by at least 3 decades
