Net Practice Vs Bowling Machine

[lower11]

I would like your opinion on this, which is better. Personally i think machine is good for speed, but real bowlers are better for swing/subtlety.

Bowling machines are designed to help you work on one specific shot at a time. For general practice they are pretty useless.

Even nets is of marginal benefit if the surface differs significantly from outdoor playing conditions

As above - bowling machine great for working on specific things because of the consistency. Nets better in a way because of the lack of consistency - but still nothing like the real deal.

Would you agree too much bowling machine is a bad thing? A lot of experts think so.

Definitely. Too much indoor nets is a bad thing in general. Once a week, Feb to march is enough. Get outside once the weather changes.

Yes. 2 month preseason, 6 month season, 4 months off playing another sport entirely, is the ideal way to arrange your year.
