Talk Bowling Episode 76 - We Discuss the WAHSAM

A viewer has been very patiently waiting for us to discuss the WAHSAM. Take time to hear from a bowler's point of view. The WAHSAM is described in our video as a trampoline for bowling pins.

wahsam = more luck less skill

After watching the installation of the WAHSAM how is this any different then using additional bracing with wood upon installation of the lanes? You could do this where they show the WAHSAM being installed(see wahsam install vid) and a little further up as well.  It doesn't take much to realize that the additional bracing creates a stiffer surface and generate more bounce and less give on the flat gutter. I recall hearing about this before.

@SlatebowlAllStars I'll see you on tour then. I'm only 17 so I wont be on it for 5,6,7 years or so untill I finish college and get my life together.

@MRBOWLING299 Didn't say I didn't believe you, I would just like to see you roll.

Was also wondering why a serious bowler doesn't have any bowling videos on his youtube channel?

Like I said below, I give up on WAHSAM and league bowing as a "sport". It's not anymore. The USBC has turned it into a silly game. Might as well bowl on a Wii.

@ScubzMcTalBowling Who says you shouldn't be averaging 200? That's a load of #$%^&*. You average what you average. Anyways, if you want to get better, practice doing things you feel uncomfortable with. One day, go in to practice and target and arrow further left than you normally do and do it untill you can shoot your average consistently. Then, stand an arrow right than you normally do and do it untill you can strike consistently. (use the same ball)

@SlatebowlAllStars uh, no.what you don't believe me? Haha. Look, what do you think people said in the 90s when reactive resins came out? "Oh no, all the skill will be taken out of the game!" No you moron, the scoring pace will go up, that's the only difference. Whether it's wahsam gutters or reactive resin makes no difference. If you're a true purist go bowl league with a rubber ball. I'll bet you whatever you want that you can't average 200. I couldn't either, even with wahsam.

@MRBOWLING299 Do you have a video of yourself bowling?

[SlatebowlAllStars]

You know what? I give up. No one cares and as they said on the PBA forum, USBC league bowling is NOT a Sport, it's only a Game. With walled up alleys and now WAHSAMs in the flat gutters, they took all the sport out of league bowling and turned it into a silly game. If you want the sport of bowling you need to go pro, or at least join a Sport Shot league.

That is what I will be doing next season.
