Default Poll:One Lane Or Two???

Okay,most of you are familiar with one lane courtesy. It's what your usual league uses. But when you move up to tournaments,Regionals and leagues with really good bowlers you'll run into the use of the two lane courtesy.

Should the one lane courtesy go the way of the dodo??? Do away with it in favor of the two lane??? Or is a two lane courtesy too hard for some to figure out???

It works either way for me, fine with either one, but I like 2 lane courtesy more. Nice to have the room to not have to worry about someone walking up on you when your getting ready to release the ball, from more than 2 lanes theres a guarantee you wont see that unless your not concentrating, but from 1 lane its easy to see.

One is fine for 95% of leagues. I feel tourneys should be 2 or regional style. 2 lane isn't hard to figure out. Its just slow for some people. And some people get confused with the PBA style, which I feel is faster than the standard 2 lane courtesy

The PBA style is probably complicated for people starting out but its not complicated, just if no ones bowling on either of the pairs next to you then you go.

Exactly,it's just that easy and it makes the game go smoother. No "speed" bowling at all. No one on either pair to both sides of you up? Hit it.

If you bowl twice without someone else from each of those pairs bowling its considered double jumping. And some guys get very testy about it.

It's called thier taking too damn long to get ready. They have no right to bitch if they're sitting on thier butt when they should be up on the lane. Crybabies.

One lane is good enough. If you cant concentrate with even a bit of distraction you need to work on your mental game.
