    The few who do, usually get caught and are handled..
    FACT:Walmart shoplifters cost them 2 billion dollars a year.
    They have a lot of items on display OUTSIDE without anyone guarding it.
    Usally it's during the daylight hours & hiring security for what is probally a few hundred dollars worth of inventory is stupid especially with cart jockey's runnning amuck. Furthermore it's usally stuff like plants, & lawn furniture...Imagine if you will this scenario...

    Well I was just looking for something to reply to as I'm an avid bowler & ctrl+F'd for Bowl. Can't belive I only found 1 post. I should say that I've averaged over 200 since my younger teens, & have been bowling for almost 20 years.

    First off the advances in ball coverstocks has been huge in the last 25 years or so, from urethane, to reactive (urethane with high friction resin), & now Particle (urethane with High friction glass/ceramic particles--that act like small microscopic teeth)..The other major advancement has been in creating dynamic imbalance inside the ball, which allows ball drillers to make a ball "hook" more then it'd be if the ball had a pancake weight block (no dynamic imbalance) & only 1oz side-to-side legal static imbalance. It also makes it so you can get one of those oil suckers down the lane without it "rolling out" (losing power) 30ft down the lane.

    As far as having to throw them faster, that simply isn't true. The last I looked the avg. PBA tour ball speed was around 18.5mph (Tim Criss only tosses it about 15-16mph), & the average PWBA lady was around 17.5. In fact you can now throw it slower than before because they create more angle which translates into more power at the pins (my mom for instance averages over 190, with a speed of about 13mph)

    Just FYI, oil reduces or eliminates friction..which leads to less overall hook (i.e. throwing it slower may be advantages if you play right in it). It'd also be notworthy that in the last 20 years the way oil is applied to the lanes has changes tremendously, from the lacker days back before the 50-60's, to a topcoat with lane oil on top that was applied & removed by hand, then to the old oiling machines that had 1 pad, then to mulitiple pads/wicks, then compluterized pads, & finally to the new spray machines that can lay down oil like a dot matrix printer.

    Bowling technology has progressed so far that a person with a few hundred bucks in equipment, & a little practice can average 200+ (considered par in bowling, but really it should be realitive to the condition) on a "House Lane Condition" in less then a year...The real humour is that you put out the lane condtions the pros bowl on and these people have trouble averaging 160.

    Btw, the professional ladies you see on ESPN are absolutly amazing, not possessing the power & usally competing on tougher condtions than the men. They make it look like a recreational bowler might be close to there skill level.
