the best equipment does not always mean the best scores

It never seems to matter what the condition of the lanes are, if his first few shots are not right he just seems to be able to adjust. Maybe this is the sign of a true bowler.
I have come to realise it is never the eqipment (sorry to all the fantastic companies and bowling balls and the equipment that they produce) but the bowler that makes the real difference.
I agree to an extent. I used to buy a new bowling ball regularly, but never really improved dramatically. Y? I relied on the equipment too much and ignored other factors such as technique. I thought that the extra $300 plus for a 'better' ball would mean a 200 average - it didn't. I believe that only the bowler knows whether he or she has the right equipment to help their game... it might just be the 10 year old collecting dust. Swapping and changing for the sake of image does nothing.
I 2 have been guilty of lugging around 4 bowling balls for a tournament but this did not mean I won the tournament due to the number of balls I had lol. I have found that only 2 of my 5 bowling balls are right for my bowling at the moment. (185 average to a
consistent 210) My theory is y carry around more than u have to (other than for showing off purposes
)
I use:
AMF Bull Whip (not used lately)
Blue Wolf (does the trick... to suit my style anyway lol)
Columbia Rock (my 'spare' ball - a surprise discovery... just enough hook when it matters)
White Dot (hasn't been used for years actually see Rock for details)
Rhino Pro (has had its moments... but not used lately)
In summary, there are a lot of factors when it comes to great bowling... and equipment is not necessarily the most important.
