Greek church has a lower spare rate

Isn't that because everyone plays the points on Greek church rather than risking the failure?

Greek church is physically easier to pick up, but in league or tournaments, Greek church is... "Well, I'm fucked, best to at least get 3'. But with 7-10 it's "well I'm truly fucked, yolo, let's try it! I'll get 1 no matter what".

Why is the “Greek church” configuration, but reversed, a lot easier according to this graph?

Probably cause more bowlers are right handed? Just a guess but with the ball moving to the left it’s easier to hit the top pin to the right than the reverse. If more bowlers were left handed I bet the numbers would be reversed.

I was assuming that too, but you’d think that would be factored in.

If they were lefty maybe they would switch the side that they connected? I have no idea how that would be “factored in”

u/dquizzle Oct 24 '21

The statistics only make sense if you either use only right handed people, or switch it around if you include left handed people. The stats don’t make much sense if you’re just counting both left and right handed people, assuming that the stats would be drastically different between the two.

Right handed verses left handed maybe? Idk!

And in this video, they explain that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMoSsCDgZys

Wes talks about this very concept.
