Dalkin that covered the issues: The reality of lane conditions in the modern era is that with three units or no What do you say to the people who say the System of Bowling was the units, or anything in between, scores will be huge on house shots. worst thing to happen to bowling — caving to the proprietors and ruining In fact, they may be higher with three or even a touch more units, rather than the integrity of the sport and all that? zero because reaction is more controlled and not over-under due to wet-dry It wasn’t a cave-in.

It took the ball technology has given us 30-some 900 series and the complete re-writing of bowler out of the equation. Had the locals done their surprise inspections — almost every record. some did, but a lot didn’t — it would have worked.

You can have all the rules you want, but you have to somewhere put trust And if it does, who cares?

People confuse integrity folks have fun shooting big scores and quit ringing hands over the situation. with setting the rules. Integrity is following the rules. If you don’t follow the rules, In addition, topography can trump any oil pattern, as topography expert Ted you’re the one without integrity, not the rules-maker. Thompson noted in a message exchange on Sunday. The System of Bowling was designed to look at the entire interaction of the “I’ve seen three units act like 10 units on slopes toward the gutter,” he said. bowling ball as it travelled down the lane, including lane surface, lane dressing “Conversely, I’ve seen 10 act like three on inward slopes.

As such the goal was to provide a playing environment with a Bravo for the USBC doing the logical thing in jettisoning the rule. relatively uniform frictional characteristic across the lane. Lane surface, ball The Equipment Specifications Committee also set a specification for any surface and lane dressing was all part of the equation.
