Hi Andy, First off, congratulations, you're doing plenty of things right! :-) To generate hook, you need to have your thumb clearing the ball first, so that your fingers can apply leverage, creating revolutions, tilt and rotation. (Rev rate, then the angle of release in the X and Y axes.) There...

It is with mixed emotions that I have closed Bowler's Edge. Since opening in 2007, I had one goal, which was to provide my customers with access to great service and the best fit available. I have had the pleasure to advise and drill equipment for players at every level from around the country...

Oh wow... This is sad news. My limited experience of John Sullivan showed me that he was so much more than a tenacious competitor. There's all those things he did and won, but my very favourite memory of John was when he competed at the Sydney Cup at Leichhardt Olympic Bowl, travelling up from...

Sad as it seems, I can understand Kedron and Cannon Hill closing. The land they sit on is worth too much and the bean counters at the oxymoronically named Ardent Leisure can see instant bonuses from improving the bottom line. Blame low interest rates and hyper-inflated land prices for that one...

Haha! Why doesn't that surprise me? He's an even bigger bowling ball nerd than you and I, Brenton! (And everyone knows, I have no higher compliment in the field!) p.s. I have worked out what it rolls most like. If anyone remembers what the old Nitro R² looked like on wood; It looked just like...

Hi Alberto, You're welcome. Anytime. No, as a symmetric cored ball with a decent length pin, there is likely to be a microscopic preferential spin axis / mass bias owing to the core being circa 3/64" off centre to create the pin-out in the first place, but without noticeable reaction...

I realised today what this ball reminds me of. Rolls like a hy-road but cleaner through the front. Sweet on friction. Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

I remember having this discussion while playing lawn bowls with a mate who is rather good at it. A bowling green costs about 60K to build. I think that's less than 2 pairs of lanes. And no building... Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

I drilled one of these yesterday and dusted off my shoes to throw it today. The ball is laid out at 55° x 4½” x 40°, with a P2 hole, which is stronger than I usually drill things. Motiv distributor Ken McLachlan recommended that I go a bit stronger than usual. This is a very interesting ball...

Amusing little read. This guy definitely has too many bowling balls. [emoji5] http://www.sltrib.com/home/4440191-155/kirby-winter-is-coming-time Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

Congratulations Matt Riley! Nice to see you on top again mate! (From post to post, no less!) Nice to See Keryn and Scott shoe-ing up and doing well. Ozzy always has a good showing at Bathurst and I think that event stalwart Darryl Buttriss has had his best finish ever. (Neil and Darryl are...

Morning everyone, Bowler's Edge continues to offer 20 years experience of expert fitting and drilling of equipment to the good people of Canberra. (It's closer to 30, now I think of it, but let's say 20 as it makes me feel younger.) Sadly, scumbag spammers, hackers, bots and other Internet...

How would gambling, a tax levied by mathematically astute bookmakers on those who aren't as good at calculating probability, "raise the profile" of the sport? The connection is lost on me, but boy, could you fix some matches with COSI code! Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

So true, Steve. [emoji4] As a side thought, I love how a core can be 2/1000" over spec and the "authorities" come down on you like the wrath of God and potentially bust your business, putting jobs in struggling Michigan on the line, but you can oil a lane at 10:1, strap a big ol' mechanical...

See the attachment in post # 1. Good point though! Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk
