This allows them to use the heaviest ball possible (16 pounds), which gives them an advantage because, all else being equal, heavier balls usually result in higher pin counts because they drive through the pocket and don't deflect off the pins as easily. I bowl in a league and only one woman in the league uses a 16-pound ball, but then her average is 30 pins lower than the top average in the league, so a heavy ball does not automatically mean great bowling. That's where the accuracy and consistency come in, and I do think the top female bowlers could be very competitive with the top men. I don't think wrist size or even strength would have anything to do with accuracy, and I'm not aware of any difference in hand-eye coordination between men and women, though that would be an interesting subject to explore. Thanks for the idea!Kathy Garmushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12975778367180073475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-975280193135291661.post-15222447817923442322010-01-25T20:07:39.003-05:002010-01-25T20:07:39.003-05:00This was amazing to see live; I can't believe ...This was amazing to see live; I can't believe it wasn't mentioned in the paper or on the news, unless I missed it.

Is hand-eye coordination different?Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.com
