I always though the same, buts its because it allows more precision while also being fairly rough. saying 2 feet is more approximate, but also closer, than saying a certain number of centimetres. Same goes with inches. Increments of 6 inches are easy to estimate
@@Tasmanaut Yeah, good point - that makes sense. My problem is that I always have to convert to centimetres and metres anyway for it to be meaningful to me.
@@shayneoflaherty3488 also consider this. if you're more than a metre, or really, 3 feet away, knowing exactly how far away you are is useless. You're a long way away and you need a big correction which is easy to see from the mat. It's the smaller increments that matter only once you are close enough to make minor corrections, or have to play a very precise shot to play. I find the imperial units match up pretty well, despite never using them any other time in my life.
@@shayneoflaherty3488 sorry my comment was stupid, it over looked something in a big way. You may be called to play 2, 3, 4 etc metres of weight or more. In those situations, yeah, I can see how feet would get hard to estimate and need converting. That being said, when you're playing 2 metres or more, the exact weight isn't as important as the right contact or angle into the head so I pretty much take those calls to mean you pick the weight you need to get that angle and the result we're after

Great game .
excellent bowling.
A real joy to watch.
Haha excellent choice of song... edge of seventeen 👍👍
What an awesome match. Exciting all the way to the end. Here's my question - why do markers still use feet and inches?
