I'VE BEEN READING SOME OF THE POSTS ON THE ACTION BOWLERS SECTION, I'M CURIOUS. I KNOW MOST OF THOSE BOWLERS THAT LOG ON AND THEY'RE VERY GOOD. THEY'RE ALL RIGHT HANDED. NONE OF THEM WILL BOWL LEFTIES. NOW I KNOW THE SHOT BREAKS DOWN QUICKER AND ALL THAT STUFF. IF YOUR GOING TO MAKE YOUR CLAIM TO BE THE BEST. SHOULDN'T THAT INCLUDE TAKING ON ALL COMERS LEFTY AND RIGHTY. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT WAS BACK IN THE DAY. DID ANY OF THOSE GUYS LIKE KIDDER, HORN, ETC. BOWL LEFTIES STRAIGHT UP? I KNOW IRA'S LEFTY BECAUSE I BOWL LEAGUE WITH HIM ON MONDAY'S. HAS IT ALWAYS BEEN RIGHTY VS. RIGHTY, LEFTY VS. LEFTY?
JUST CURIOUS.

very good question. I have bowled many a lefty(even when i shouldn't have). i feel on an even shot there is no advantage especially on a fresh pair. with todays equiptment and longer oil and the wll of china in most centers i feel the the match would be even. same oil pattern and it will be a fair match.
a carry contest but fair. please say hi to the whale for me if he even remembers who i am. but seriously u r right
there should be more lefty righty matches. but on an equal condition. and there u have it another useless point buy me!!!! lol

TOPS, YOU SEE WHATS GOING ON ON THIS SITE. THESE KIDS GOING BACK AND FORTH AT EACH OTHER, WHO'S BETTER THAN WHO. ALL THESE STIPULATIONS BEFORE MATCHES START. I'M 28YRS OLD. BEEN BOWLING ACTION SINCE 92ISH. BACK AT DEER PARK. NOT CLAIMING TO BE GREAT, BUT I CAN HOLD MY OWN. I'M OBVIOUSLY LEFT HANDED. BACK IN THE DAY, LEFTIES GOT MATCHES EVERY FRIDAY AT DEER PARK. ANGELUS WAS GREAT BACK THEN. ANOTHER LEFTY, (BEFORE HE HURT HIS WRIST) WAS VERTUALLY UNBEATABLE THERE. THEY GOT MATCHES EVERY NIGHT. LEFTIES BOWLED RIGHTIES THERE. NO IF ANYBODY KNOWS THE PARK, IT WAS A LEFTY SEWER. RIGHTIES BOWL DOUBLES AGAINST LEFTIES, BECAUSE WHEN THEY BROKE DOWN ON THE RIGHT U JUST FALL IT BACK AND STRUCK AT WILL. IT WAS FAIR ON BOTH SIDES. NOW THEY HAVE TO BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYTHING TO GET ACCOMPLISHED ON THE LANES. 32 FT' FLAT IS THE SHERIDAN ACTION SHOT. WHAT HAPPENED TO PICK A PAIR AND BOWL? SORRY TO RAMBLE ON BUT I NEEDED TO GET IT OUT.

leftys and rightys bowled each other, but a lot of the old timers were smart, they knew what pairs favored leftys and rightys. for example, you wouldnt want to bowl johnny at maple , but you would want to bowl him at ave m like sal the plummer did, however , pairs at av m like 17 and 18 and 1 and 2 favored leftys , so you would avoid playing a lefty on those pairs, av m nortorious righty house, many leftys beside johnny losing to lesser caliber, fats with deacon had trouble with stoop and mac , lentini knew 17 and 18 and stayed only on that pair . another house colonial on staten island , where the brooklyn cheese snookered the whale to go and although was at least a 30 pin less bowler managed to parley 5 straight , with ira not breaking 190 , and the next day on long island in a tournament winning his money back with a 4 or 5 game block with iras low game 258. and the cheese with all games under 200.
