Can you explain what differences are occurring between a hypothetical set of bowlers that puts them in separate categories?

A) 17 mph, 200 RPM
B) 17 mph, 300 RPM
C) 17 mph, 400 RPM

For any parameters missing, assume values that help to clarify, and assume all three have the same parameters excluding RPM.

I would think the answer to that particular question is obvious. If we assume all three bowlers are throwing the same ball, with the same layout and surface preparation, with the same release stats on the same condition and playing the same line:

If Bowler A is lined up and in the pocket, Bowler B will be through the beak, and Bowler C will cross over every time.

If Bowler B is lined up and in the pocket, Bowler A would tend to hit light pocket shots at best, and Bowler C will tend to go through the beak or cross over.

If Bowler C is lined up and in the pocket, Bowler A would likely be hitting the 3 pin in the face, and Bowler C will be hitting light at best.

Mr White,
It seems there is a misunderstanding over what bowlers term 'matched' vs your interpretation of the word. Matched does not mean the ball is leaving the hand with the track travelling at the same speed (matched) as the ball is travelling down the lane. In fact, this woud on most lane conditions be very detrimental to your game. It simply means that the bowler has a rev rate and ball speed combination that allows him to match up well to a variety of 'normal' lane conditions using 'normal' layouts and gear. Bowlers that are matched with speed and revs will all get a similar look from their benchmark ball on a given shot in that they will transition correctly, getting the ball into a roll at the correct distance down the lane to carry well. Bowlers that are speed dominant as per the chart will struggle to get the ball into a roll consistently, and will need layout and or surface help to get the ball into a roll sooner - the reverse is true for a rev dominant bowler. Hope this helps.
