And this is why, in my opinion, there were 2 lefties in the stepladder. The righthanders all played different angles and breakpoints, hence they "scattergunned" the right side. The lefties that made matchplay ALL played a similar (almost identical) angle and breakpoint and as a result opened up a bit of an area. Had all the righties played the same breakpoint even from different trajectories, then possibly more right handers might have made the 'ladder. I know this is contradicting what you have posted Greg, but if my reasoning is incorrect, I need to know why
Paul, I believe the reality here is that (and Greg can jump in and knock this theory on the head if he wants) the righties in this country can't band together and play the same breakpoint as the lefties do naturally. As a result, the lefties are, in the main going to be advantaged by a pattern such as was laid down at Cross Road, purely because of their propensity for all playing similar breakpoints.
Once the righties (as they do on the PBA) all play for the same breakpoint then they might start to erode the advantage the lefites had. By the same token, I don't believe that the righties can expect people like Greg to deliberately start trying to slow the lefties down as happened in at least one tournament last year. Its a a matter of all the righties getting on the same page.
I know the Pattern you are talking about
It was never intended to slow anybody down but more to counteract the
affect of Bad Topography.
