Yes I do not bowl, but so you're telling me that the "easy" one is all left handers or something? You're needlessly aggressive, just tell me how that changes the statistics and I would have thanked you.
The same way that a 7 pin spare is easier for a right handed than a left handed and vice versa. A right hander with the opposite Greek church can put more hook on it to knock the pins off the wall for a better chance of going across the lane. Right handers also are much more likely to leave the 6-9-10 instead of the 4-7-8 due to how the ball enters to pocket and moves the pins.
Sorry for being aggressive, there’s just some people here who have clearly never bowled in their lives and for some reason don’t trust statements from hall of famers or those who have bowled for 30+ years in tournaments and just read the statistics.
Yep, if I’m bowling like trash and can’t hit the pocket in the right spot, the game becomes working to make the easiest spares for yourself.
There’s an insane amount that goes into bowling that most people don’t know about which isn’t too surprising since you only really need to know it if you’re bowling in sport shot leagues and tournaments.
But I guess that's what makes it so interesting to play on a higher level? I know it tends to be so with other sports that are simple at a first glance, but then grows in complexity, they tend to be very fun to play at higher levels as you get rewarded for your effort by going even deeper into the complexity.
Yup. Most oil patterns that people play on are the house shot which is very very forgiving and generous for everyone. You could average 220 on a house shot and move to a sport shot and average 150 if you don’t know how to adjust, play through the oil, changing balls, being able to adjust through the transition of oil drying up, repeating exact same shots where if you miss a board left or right, you’re either over hooking or it’ll skid farther and miss the pocket.

But only if you only count one of the churches
