Question
I watched Robert Smith bowl a couple of weeks ago and it appears that the PBA has finally stepped over the line and made a mockery of the game.  I'm a right hander but I feel for leftys that are having there lane chopped up by right handers throwing at the "other" first arrow.  Don't get me wrong, I do it in a heart beat but come on.  Any thoughts?

Thanks-Scotty

Answer
This is not a development of todays game.  Bowlers have had to play this area of the lane in the past as well.  I remember a couple of older PBA shows where Brian Voss was standing in front of the ball return and a show where Jason Couch was doing that from the left.
I cant say I would enjoy watching bowling like that all of the time, but once in awhile, I dont mind watching bowlers have to be creative in order to score.
