I am glad my annoying barrage of questions that everyone else is afraid to ask has finally provided some valuable content. :) I just re-read the thread as well...and yes I agree my questions were constant and annoying... but I think it finally got to questions and answers that have never been discussed on any bowling forum... I have seen this thread referenced on multiple sites across the web..

I think the response I like the best from Mathistruth, "Wow!!! I never thought we would get into this."

Your questions are not annoying. As long as you're seeking accurate information and not being argumentative, you are a valuable asset to these forums. You DO get it and have realized how well this works when we all contribute to the success of these forums. On bowlingchat, we are trying to disseminate accurate information. Glad to have you aboard!

I definitely agree with Mo on this one. I don't think you ask questions we're afraid to ask. I think you ask questions that never cross anyone else's mind. That's good. I, for one, had never considered that there was any MAJOR difference between symmetric and asymmetric balls, so I never considered that you would have to make different considerations for each type of ball.

Reading through that thread again helped me to realize just how far a small group of us have come since that thread. We have consistently chimed in on stuff that was WAY over our heads and I think we're finally reaching a point where we can now at least tread water.

I personally think that thread should be a sticky. Anybody wanting to get into this stuff should try to digest the wealth of information to be gleaned from that thread alone!

Mo summed it up perfectly with that statement, it is essentially our mission statement here. That thread is fantastic and I link to it a lot to my friends and others that could use some information on asymmetrics.
