Here's is an interesting article... This just confirms my observations from watching a number of PBA shows with average age of the top 5 usually in the 30's that bowlers can perform well into their 30's and 40's. One question I have, though, is will the new revolution of 2-handed bowlers...

Hi Everyone, For the past 2 years, Mentone Bowl has been running a Sport Bowling league. During last years leagues, NO ONE in either season (20 weeks) averaged 200, which may indicate that the oil patterns were difficult and were a “true” test of consistency and accuracy! The Sport Bowling...

Hi Everyone, About three years ago, I wrote a "Reading Oil Patterns" handout as a coaching/ sport psychology tool to increase bowlers awareness of this "art form" (as PBA Hall of Famer Don Johnson called it). This year, I am writing a number of articles for Asian Bowling Digest that will expand...
