Hi All,
Just close this one out and summarise.
Lefties are different, not just because of the side they bowl on but mechanically and mentally a little different.
Yes the lanes are a little less used giving an option to stay put longer. But they also lay their bowling balls out differently.
Righties need to maybe look at a different less aggressive ball layout and a softer touch to make it work for longer. They also need to look at less aggressive surface friction maybe 2000 grit max to push through the heads and let the ball do the rest at the back end. Also look at running a longer pin. This is also something you will noticed being mentioned by any of the PBA sites as well. That bowlers are starting to look at a less aggressive ball layout to control the shots longer.
Thank you to everybody for their input. It is great to see the likes of Terry Wenban, George F and Jason Doust pipe up with years of knowledge to share. Thanks heaps to everybody else and I hope it was as useful to all as it is to me.
Happy bowling.
