Hahah! So everyone has their point here. I used to invest in equipments quite a lot, not so nowadays. Yes the posessions of newer equipments will create more interests, but i tink for my case, they just get me more confused. So for me now, training with a few balls to the consistency, yet enough to get me through different lane conditions.
Yes ah peks easily get avg 180-200 with one equipment. They got no worries, no stress abt lanes conditions, coz they simplified their game? (little hook, minimal spin, straight ball etc) Seldom you see ah peks grumbling abt their rev rate,their amt of hook, rather you see them grumbling WHY their pin 10 don't stand !~ Wahahaha
You want to play like wat they are playing? Simple lines, minimal hook, straight ball AFTER you invested in all your equipments?
Bear this in mind, with our training, leagues, coaching etc, our avg will increase over time. Wether it is fast or slow depends on your seriousness to practice, to train and to heed advices. Beating the ah peks used to be difficult (Jae, remember our times in CLassic Leagues?) kekeke. Well now if we go back, think we'll be in better league condition now... Why? Coz our team players now are more committed, and experienced and more TEAM spirit!
Ah peks avging 180-200? they are still humans!
Even world champions bowl 150 games! (Teriyaki, 2004)Getting our avg up is the aim of our passion, to get a perfect game is the whole objective and to be the WORLD Champion is the ULTIMATE DREAM come true!
Enjoy our games, be consistent, be focused, stay cool, train hard, our objectives will be acheived!
