    Too Many Bowling Balls! (Some real goodies to go here...)

    It's that time again! All balls are 15lb, have low usage, are in excellent or as new condition, have been cleaned with Clean Edge after (pretty much) every use, and had surfaces maintained via a Haus Resurfacing System. They all roll, as much as is humanly possible, like new. Radical Yeti...

    No thumb rule change.

    In my recent experience, it's remarkable how many of these young guys that have been doing the two handed thing fro a few years can now just put their thumb back in and throw it great. Their legs and upper body muscles now know what leverage feels like and they can just do it. I've seen a couple...

    Another Bowl Closed.

    That's very sad news indeed. It's tough to make a go of the smaller houses and my thoughts go out to the Chettleburgh family.

    No thumb rule change.

    Yes. As such, Jim is not allowed to beat you with anything thicker than his thumb for that magnificent dad joke. I hope for your sake, Jim's not a stonemason! :-)

    No thumb rule change.

    Good points John (and others). This is why we build buildings from drawings, not Word documents. A couple of neat diagrams would clear this up quickly. Two things drive me mad about this rather targeted rule change and they both are based in it's lack of parity. First off, a bunch of young...

    Proud Dad Moment

    Good on you Jay. 300 at the same age I started bowling! Sports Psychologist Dean Hinitz famously wrote "Bowling is life. With a bowling ball in your hand." The Jesuits claim if you give them the boy until he is seven, they will give you the man. Clearly you've grown up around good players, and...

    Video on different weighted balls

    Mo Pinel has commented that he sees no great difference in carry from 14-16lbs for what it's worth. I agree to a point as they carry differently, but often every bit as effectively. Ray Edwards (who really does have a PhD) of Brunswick Technology Ventures told me he had the maths to prove the...

    Video on different weighted balls

    Hi Dinesh! Hope you're well! CT told me about this thread. (I'm just crashing after moving house right now.) This gets into some pretty complex mathematics once you ask a big question like "why" or "how much". The short answer is "I can't quantifiably answer your big question. Me small man...

    No thumb rule change.

    Actually, it is. As for swapping the pitch, well, the pain goes up. Back to having a life, now...

    No thumb rule change.

    That all works well unless you are fussy about little things, like the fingers being remotely close to fitting. It's a non sequitur.

    No thumb rule change.

    Hmmm... So only bowlers using their thumb are allowed remove two large cores radically affecting the ball's differential? (a.k.a.MOtion Hole drilling, Double Thumb, P3 gradient holes etc..?) I'm probably going to surprise some folks by standing up for the 2 handers here, but this rule change...

    Brunswick Tour Down Under - AMF Tuggeranong 18th Sept 2014

    Hi Rob, Very glad to hear this is happening. To say it last year's clinic was well received would be a gross understatement. I can honestly say I have never seen so many bowlers come back so stoked about an event. I am sure you will fill it up quickly. Kind regards, Jason

    finger pitches

    Judging by the compact and muscular nature or your hands, you're likely to need a grip that "looks short" by quite a way to enable your hand to reach into the holes properly while wrapping all that muscle mass inside the grip! :) I see this all the time with guys who do physical work. Probably...

    How many 300 ' s will there be at the AO?

    Wiggle the bait. See who bites! Caught me a Stropfish! ;-)

    How many 300 ' s will there be at the AO?

    I think you're on the right track, George. Depending on whether the lane surface had been blocked to death for the other 51 weeks of the year ( as if it hasn't... ), AWO (Australian Wide Open) will probably have 7 x 300 games. HPL usually carries well, as it's a little more forgiving on the...

    2014 Senior Australian Open

    Tony, I have no problems with Seniors. Many are dear friends. This is not about the school yard politics of people or personalities. It's the ditched shot that is compromising our sport. Always has done. Always will. You're right Brenton. This is not the forum. We need to rise above binary...
