Besides, if this is really a bowling forum, then settle all
disputes on the lanes, like i said earlier before Rando edited my
msg, dun hide behind this moderator nonsense and shoot peas at
people, u just irritate them without any real damage.
To prove who's technically better, where else than the lanes is a
better place?
I know what you're getting at, but let's not all blame Rando. I
believe he changes the messages so that others will not get a
chance to read it and start WW3. Anyway, like Ding has said, people
can always post with other handles and times, and he can't do
anything about all of them. So live and let live, alright?
I don't think anybody here wants to "damage" anybody else. If we
set out with the objective of hurting someone in the first place,
then regardless of what he/she had posted or whether or not they
end up on hte lanes is a moot point, because then the intent would
have branded that person (person challenging) a loser. To spar with
words is much more civilised and mature. We're settling differences
of opinion, not strength.
Personally, i was wondering, if i sent my nephew of 13yrs old
for theory lessons to become a coach, would u wanna trin under him?
Or someone else better, like say, Parker Bohn III, Jason Coach or
like your local bowlers AK Yong, Henry Tan or even Remy Ong?
My point is not everyone who can spout technical stuff is good, but
someone who can conquer the lanes is more worthy of the respect
given. E.g: If Tim Mack were to come in here, post rubbish and say
its good or say that wat the others advise are nothing more than
crap.. wat are the chances you'll believe and in who? Think about
it...
I've said this before: one doesn't have to be a good player to
be a good coach. Since you want to explore the topic, here's
why:
a) There are two dimensions to bowling - physical and technical.
Not many people are blessed with both in equal proportions, and
fewer try to achieve both with our busy schedules of life. To learn
about and know the technical aspects of the game means one has the
knowledge of ball dynamics, etc... but knowing how, for instance,
Robert Smith releases his ball doesn't also mean one can do the
same, does it? There are always physical limitations to what we can
do, but never a mental limitation. 
(E.g., All the best English Premier League coaches were never good
players, but the good players rarely become good coaches.
Closer to the topic of bowling - Bill Spigner, Billy Hall and John
Jowdy... do those names ring any bells? Well, these men are reputed
coaches that the PBA pros you have mentioned go to when they need
help from timing to release corrections. Coaching has nothing to do
with being able to average 200+.)
b) If a bowler does not listen to someone elses's advice because
he/she is not a better player, then that person is a senseless git.
The only thing extra a good player can offer is nothing more than
credibility. Credibility without good coaching still makes a bad
coach.
If a bowler chooses to only search for people who play well to
coach them, that's their problem. If their pride is too strong to
pick up pointers from their peers or "lesser" players, then perhaps
they deserve to have all help withdrawn from them.
Granted the unlikely senario that Mr. Mack does chance upon our
humble forum and post here, nobody will question him. But is that
because he is good, or because he is better than us?? So, people
who can bowl like him will only listen to PBA pros... and who'll
help the pros?? It never ends... because it is not the way.
Lastly, this is a simple forum and was never meant to take the
place of proper coaching. We merely share what we
know with one another. If you're so hung up on having better instructions, perhaps you
should go to PBA.com's forum, where I'm sure everyone is better
than you and have perfect games to their credit. If one does not
feel what's here doesn't apply to their game, they are free not to
adopt it. Nobody here ever says "listen to me, I'm correct".
You associate ability to bowl with ability to coach. So, have it
your way and ignore all instructional messages/threads/topics here.
But enjoy your stay in the less serious threads.
Rando, u as a moderator is very impolite and unethical to change
my msgs, leave me a separate one so that everyone can read it. I
guess everyone else has a right...
I do not think it will happen again.
