    Bowling Balls Australia

    Thats interesting. Everytime i use Paypal to pay for things, it is an instant transfer. Even if i don't have enough in my paypal account, it is still an instant transfer without a credit card as i have my bank account registered with them. They then get the money off me. Bank transfers for a...

    Back to basics series - could we do it?

    The idea of this is good. But can i put forward something. Back in 2006, the WTBA and Kegel held what they called the WTBA World Challenge. Concept was simple. There were 2 balls. 1 was red, 1 was blue, the only differnece was one was 15lb and the other 16lb. Why not use the model they...

    Do You Know What a "Ditch" is?

    You think thats bad Jason, here's one to think about. Single pin spares. Anyone want to do the math on how much target area you have to hit one, ie: how many boards from brushing the pin left to brushing the pin right. And this still astounds me that there are a lot of people with so many...

    IGNORANT, ARROGANT or STUPID

    Brien, firstly, i wouldn't call it a flat pattern. A Flat pattern is one that is 2 board to 2 board and is flat right across the lane. You are already calling the other one Asymmetrical, so you are meaning a Symmetrical right? Also, another thing to take into account. how long before the...

    IGNORANT, ARROGANT or STUPID

    As a tech who feels he knows enough about lanes to keep himself out of trouble, i gave up listening to some bowlers complaining about lanes a while ago. There was this time that this "compitent" left hander once told me that there wasn't enough units on the lanes and they were crap. It made...

    2009 Melbourne Cup planned for June

    Just be careful what you call it as Melbourne Tenpin Cup was a registered name owned by Ed Fleming Lanes. Even though they have ceased trading, the name might still be registered. hence the reason i beleive that last years event was the Melbourne International Cup or something like that.

    Female division

    Just out of curiosity, it is sort of away from the initial topic, but not hugely. I problem that is out there of course is the issue of the amount of tournaments, but also catergories, Seniors, open, youth, etc... What if...(!) the powers that be ever saw sense and limited the calender to say...

    Female division

    Melbourne Cup. 2006 Woman’s Division, hardly any entries. 2007 Scrapped Woman’s Division, Nothing but criticism. 2008 Woman’s Division, hardly any entries. How do you want it? If you don't have one, people complain. When you do, no one turns up. What would you do????????

    Bronze, Silver and GOLD patterns!

    Here's a curious point to ask. Who sets the standard for what is gold, silver or bronze? Is there a different standard for each center, meaning, different lane surfaces, pins, what oil they use, cleaner, lane machine, humidity etc. What if a Gold pattern in a certain center, scored through...

    Inflation

    You guys do realise that you can have a sports pattern and still have a score fest right?? The PWBA were using Sports Patterns, some tournaments no one made the card, some tournaments ou needed like 220+ to make match play. The same goes for Ratios on the Kegel Sheets. It doesn't always tell...

    Fairness of Leagues

    How come the first thing that people always ask is about the air con and humidity levels? What time of the day do you bowl and is there inconsistant linage before you bowl from week to week after they oil? Say, is it a case of, you bowl at 8.30pm, they oil at 4pm, you have juniors, social and...

    SA Cup scoring pace - was it high enough?

    Jason, good point. I made a similar point in another thread a while ago. Along the lines of if the house condition is too hard, find a shot on the lane that doesn't carry all that well, or that needs the accuracy(?) to score well, and keep playing until you do get better and more consistant at...

    SA Cup scoring pace - was it high enough?

    Sorry, where did i say in my post that all is ok and my head is in the sand about the whole thing? I don't beleive that i even hinted along those lines. But like it has been said before, there is only one way possible to get equallity in lane patterns so everyone has a shot. That is to...

    SA Cup scoring pace - was it high enough?

    All i can say to this is, be careful who you listen to then if you want to take that route. There are a lot of so called "experts" in this country on this topic. Also, i am curious. What would make you turn up to a tournament more? (If someone wants to make it into poll, feel free) A...
