Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe we have had at least a couple of national tournaments in the past with the same 8 pin head start for the ladies, this feels like groundhog day. It might be 6, 7, 8 years ago but I'm sure this isn't the first time.

Hi Andrew, C squad please. Thanks Tim

Agree there's no such thing as a good Brooklyn hit. Also agree completely that I'd rather win by throwing excellent shots and being rewarded by them. Having Brooklyns and lucky trips thrown at you all night is frustrating, been on the receiving end many times. I can't see any reason...

Hi Mary, Deposit paid over the phone to the bowl tonight. Thanks Tim

I was always taught that you get up and try to knock ten down. Doesn't matter how. Everyone gets lucky breaks and everyone gets tough breaks. I'm not going to apologise for throwing Brooklyn just like I wouldn't ask for a re-rack after a pocket 7-10. It evens itself out in the end. A few...

Hi Mary, C squad please. Thanks Tim

As someone who has been around these forums for about 10 years here are my thoughts: - There doesn't seem to be excitement or build up around major tournaments anymore. Back in the day there used to be competitions to guess qualifying averages to win a ball, AMF and Totalbowling worked...

I reckon he just wants a free haircut.

Hi Batesy, Thanks for the info. Tried to send you a PM but says your inbox is full. Cheers Tim

Just wondering if anyone has ever used this product before and if so how well it worked and where you got it from? KEGEL - No Sweat Hand Drying Spray I'm keen to give it a try however I've never seen or heard of it here before. I bowl two handed and have issues with grip. I've tried rosin...

Just found this when searching on YouTube. It's a little old (1990) but shows even the very best have their off moments. Marshall Holman Double Gutter - 1990 PBA ABC Fall Classic - YouTube On national TV. Embarrassment!

I kept thinking of South Park when I listened to this.. "MmmK?" Despite the method the message is important. Spares are usually the difference between going home with something or nothing.

Hi Mary, Could you please put me in C squad. Thanks Tim

Interesting about the ones prior to Glenn's. Why were they not sactioned? I know Glenn's was in league, what about the other ones?

At the end of the day it's all about repeatability. If Jimmy can do what he does and repeat it over and over then good luck to him. I think credibility really took a dive when Robert Mushtare was certified for two 900 series within the space of a month or so in 2005, both in prebowls...

It's the actual series number (898 instead of 896) that's incorrect. The listing of an Australian in Australia and an Australian anywhere is correct.

Yep overseas in Riga, Latvia in 2002, 896 at the World Cup (300, 298, 298). Highest actually bowled here in Australia is 887. For anyone interested the national records are here: Tenpin Bowling Australia - National Records Although TBA lists Paul's record as 898 which is incorrect. A...

Androo is correct, 887 by Anthony Flynn at Geelong.

Interesting technique.. kind of wombles to the line and just chucks it.

Geoff has hit the nail on the head. My question is, how do kids (and adults too) improve themselves to tackle these tougher patterns when all you generally have access to is your local house ditch? Bowling league and practicing on house shots will not get you to the required level and...

Hi all, I have noticed that Turbo Quad finger inserts have different sized numbers on the side. For example on an 11/16 insert, some have a small 11 in the circle and some have a large 11 in the circle. Is there a difference? I have noticed that the inserts with the small numbers seem a...

How many times does this same argument have to come up? Either TBA needs to make the decision to tighten it up and just get on with it, or everyone just needs to move on and accept this is the way it is. Not every event is a carry contest, this one was. Congratulations to Ben for winning!

Congratulations to Ben Coupland, winning the Australian Open by 16 pins. 2nd was Porto and 3rd Mac Stewart. Great bowling guys.

See here: Tenpin Bowling Australia - 2012 Australian Open If I read correctly, Glen Loader started off with 224,279,299,279,278,279,227,252,224 this morning. Incredible!

Hi Batesy, What's the pattern going to be??
