Minus Zero. That may be true in your world - but trust me, out in the bowling world there are countless bowlers who average over 200. You may not encounter them where you are, but throw in a prestegous tournament or tournament series together and PRESTO - out of the woodwork they come! I...

Great Man Bowling lost a great bowler, the webber family have lost a a great member, and I am sure many of the professional and elete bowling community members have lost a good friend. I was never fortunate enough to have met the man, but from those hundreds of hours I have watch him bowl or...

SST5 I have 2 bags of soles for the SST5's I only use the tan sole - so all of the others are as new. ALSO - I have a few heals that are hardly touched as well. If anyone wants them, you pay the postage and their yours! Cheers,

Apologies all.... Sorry Fellas - You are correct Wayne, I was talking about attracting the top bowlers to DARWIN. I have only been back in Darwin for a couple of years, but I did notice the reduced numbers of National level bowlers that travel here... The Walshes support the venue...

Here is a question for you all - and lets cut straight through the B/S for honest answers please.... How much money would have to be on offer in order to get the majority of Australias best bowlers to a tournament? $10,000 $15,000 $20,000 first prize? or more? ALSO - how far down...

Authors at the site - http://www.bowlingball.com think so... Below is an opening extract from their latest newsletter... It appears that the bowling industry watch-dogs in the USA are not happy about the ever growing numbers of high-average and high-score bowling, so in an effort to bring...

Read the Sporting Quotes - they were great! Here are a couple of non-sporting ones that I read on insurance claims where people had crashed their cars... "All I rmember is watching the sad faced old woman as she bounced off my bonnet and onto the bitumen" "I was temporarily blinded by...

Never seen a pin remain upright on the shaker ! LOL

"AMERICA" is a big place. I know for a fact that there are some centres that run a 100 - 1 ratio (where the outside only has conditioner on it accidently- therefor the ratio really means nothing). Not to dis-similar to some AMF centres in Australia not to long ago - where they applied...

Just read the topic of bringing pins back up the lane - some good reading - GDF one on Tim Mack takes the cake.... HOWEVER - I personally have knocked over a 5 pin (completely over on its side) - which 'bounced' a certain way and stood back up between the 7 and 8 pin spots. I have also slid...

:oops: Sorry - forgot to get the squad listing names last night... Try http://www.planettenpin.com.au the host centre website... I will get them tonight though... ALSO - oil pattern has been re-programmed due to the other condition drying/ breaking down to quickly. Oil is...

Want a bulldog ? I am sponsoring a tournament series in Darwin - and what I would like to do is offer the top 12 scratch and top 12 handicap finalists a new ball each (in addition to some prizefund). So, I am contacting bulldog bowling balls (and AZO) to see what kind of price I can get 25...

Sean M, Good point you raise - but the reality is that I am sure you bowl in these tournaments not to make money - but to improve your game to a place when you do. Those 'fringe' bowlers you talk about almost always budget to enter a tournament and not get money back (certainly not meet...

Why not encourage juniors and over 45's to compete by giving them a handicap of sorts - as they do in some Asian Zone tournaments.... I agree - it would encourage some additional entries - but how do you do it in such a way that is not discriminatory - by providing pins according to age...

Nerdy... I often hear (and use) the term OVER / UNDER when referring to a broken down condition - where one line or ball doesn't turn at the breakpoint - sliding down on the carry down, and where an adjustment of line and/or equipment grip to early on the lane (breaking in the area of the...

Rob, I believe that rule enforcement at local handicap tournaments is always laxer than national events. I have seen bowlers use cleaning equipment on bowling balls during play in league and handicap tournaments without being disqualified on many occassions. In the National Events this...

Never been there... Would like to go this year. Can anyone tell me the closest major centre to Dee Why (if flying from interstate - where do you fly to and how do you get to Dee Why?). ALSO - accommodation and bowling equipment suggestions open! Thanks. Pete

Not yet - They are up on the board in the bowling centre - I am next at the bowl on Wednesday for league - will get a copy of the listing and up it up when I get home for you.... Cheers

As far as I am aware the final conditioner pattern has been established and programmed into the machine for the Arafura Classic tournament. The Darwin bowling alley - Planet Tenpin - will not disappoint those who are expecting some slippery stuff - and having had a bit of a bowl on the...

Can anyone tell me how to get in touch with him... I tried his old email, but it is no longer valid, My email is pete@10pinbowling.com if anyone out there can either send me his contact email or pass mine on to him... Cheers Peter Brown

Big THUMBS UP to the organisors of the SA Cup and for TBA regarding the introduction of the new requirements regarding lane dressing. The condition set was excellent for bowler development and separating the "men" from the "boys". (This post is coming from one of the boys by the way - or...

thnks thanks m8

hmmm... Thanks for that Graham... Will look into it... (as I say it is the same ball as the others, just a different colour - but I will be sure before I throw it in SA). BROWNy

event query? Hi Mary, Can you pls advise which centre this tournament is being held... ALSO - Does it attract national ratings points (and will the condition meet TBA requirements for same)... Cheers Peter Brown PS - Is there somewhere where I can read the tournament details -...

BULLDOG Yes - that is the ugliest ball around (I got two that colour)... Yes - they are the exact same ball in different colours... Adrian - thankyou for that constructive contribution to the BULLDOG topic (where the hell did Buzsaw come into it)... I look forward to my bulldogs...
