I have a friend who substitutes for my bowling team, that will not buy a new pair of bowling shoes. For all three games, he slides to his left side on delivery and slides to the line on release. It drives me nuts. His excuse is "I only sub. once and a while, why buy new bowling shoes?" Well, for one reason, you can buy them cheap, and if you don't leave them in the weather, they will last for years. The second and third reason is comfort and performance on the lanes. The house shoes are not comfortable, and you don't know, what kind of bowling shoes you are going to get. Plus, they are for left and right handed bowlers, so both feet slide. But the final reason, why would you wear shoes dozens of people already have worn? I don't get it. If he didn't have the money, I could understand that. Maybe I'm better off not knowing the real reason why? But it still drives me nuts!
