I think it was more about accuracy and drive into the pins back then. You didn't need as much equipment. I think when reacitve came along, eventually all of the pros peaked, as their accuracy and talent made it too easy. Now the sport is more about equipment strategy for the specific conditions on the tour. You'll notice that the overall averages haven't changed much. Pete Weber, Parker Bohn, they haven't changed. But they have to think harder about equipment than before.
@myicestro1906 The high end balls of today would be too aggressive. The only reason why balls get better and more aggressive is because the oil layouts keep changing and becoming more challenging.
@tisho91 Yes it was. In his hometown of Erie, PA at the Tuillio arena in Erie, PA.

To me, it should be $250,000 for a 300 game...make it REAL juicy to pull perfection on the lanes! =)

I tend to wonder how would the aggressive bowling equipment of today would match up with the lane conditions in the early and mid 90s?
