i'm toying with the idea of making my shuffle bowler harder to play. i can pretty much anytime pick up nine pins first bowl, and then the spare on the second. it has a setting for easy and hard strikes. i have it on hard, and you have to be right on the money to get a strike. spares are just too easy. my idea is to make a smaller puck, to make it more difficult to hit multiple rollovers with out being more precise.

i'm wondering if A, its even a good idea? and B, if it is, how much smaller to make the puck. cant think of any other way to make it more challenging. any thoughts?
ps- its a united EM bowler

thanks

I've never understood those ball/puck bowlers. They made hundreds of them
and they all worked more or less the same way.

I rewrote the program for the Parker Bohn Pro Bowler a couple years
ago. The original source had randomizer routines thrown in based on skill
levels so it wasn't possible to play the same game twice.

I'm not sure how you could implement harder skill into an EM
bowler.

most EM bowlers from the late 1950s and later have adjustment plugs to make the game harder or easier. They aren't obvious, sometimes hidden underneath the large reset bank in the backbox. Check there first before mod'ing.
