First off. Nothing hits like fresh cover stock. NOTHING. It's something I learned on tour in 1992 and it still holds true. That's why I'm always harping on about cleaning your gear. If people like drilling new gear, good on them. If they like to study it's reaction and develop a freakish eye...

That car never skipped a beat. :) I often regret selling it, to be honest. (I miss those heated seats!) And yes, Brenton! you should have taken the $500. You could have shouted me then!

I don't remember being anywhere near the cut, but I do remember being triumphant head butting at the bar! :-) I also remember hooking the hell out of a faball nail all week. Which probably explains not being near the cut!

My long suffering wife, Adele got me to do my rescue and immediate care certification with WIRES recently. I've always thought it was a good thing to do, so went along as she often knows me better than I do. Well, she's right again. Here's a photo of mother and Baby possum we rescued. They...

SPC at Moorabbin. I just had a brain snap borne of an excess of exasperation and an absence of much else, so I gave a 2 ball tote that had the audacity to slip from my shoulder and smack my wrist a flick from the stairs. (Only about 10 metres and it had clearly indicated it's desire to get there...

Hi Luke, Looks like a keeper, period! :-) You're right though, it should give me a good look, especially later in the day. Still haven't played on the pattern since last year, so can't comment definitively. Should be handy though. Thanks for having a look. Cheers, Jason

Just checked 4 pairs of shoes / boots against the 3G's... Asics Cross Trainers -US 11 Reebok Basketball Boots - US 10½ Salomon Rogaining Boots - US 11 Puma Canvas Shoes - US 11 3G Bowling Shoes - US 10½ My foot measures 28cm (and a smidge), heel to toe.

G'Day Bowling Fans! I think the Reax Pearl from Radical Bowling Technologies is an impressive piece of gear. It's superb heavy roll makes it one of those really adaptable balls. It's not your usual skid-flip pearl release - much more useful than that. Good looking too! This video has my...

I've had Dexters, Linds, Etonics, and other shoes over the very long time I've been bowling. Wayne is right, Linds are still great shoes (and so deliciously retro!) I haven't used their new products, so can't comment. My last Linds were a pair of Brown and Tan PS's from around 1987. They are...

Go Jay! ;)

That's the one! It's about 22 Storm/Roto releases back, so being recent, may well still be available. :p Beserk also lives up to it's name. But the Primal Scream is king of the big wheel!

Do you know how long Dwayne and I scoured calendars for to get this date? Bloody Ruddy... Here's postal voting information for all the valued travellers to the pit stop! VOTE EARLY AND OFTEN! http://www.aec.gov.au/Voting/ways_to_vote/#early Cheers, Jason

What sort of condition are you looking at using it on? Wrecker is great on friction, but not so good if you want to go around carry down. I think you can still get the Bandit (the brown one, whatever it is.) They go around lots of things! Hy-Road is pretty rolly, so probably not the ball you're...

I could hazard a few guesses as to what was happening, but I'm not going to second guess what a guy who is that far on top of his game had going on. Wes was a class act in victory and Jason was graceful and remarkably composed in defeat. Especially in an event he wants so much. I, for one, am...

For all you guys claiming there's soooo much more oil these days, I'm simply going to point at this video! That ball read the 9 "never to be oiled or our house bowlers will throw it in the gutter all day" boards beautifully. Thanks Dave.

Wow... League scores. At the Open! If you've never bowled on the US Open pattern, you'll never quite understand just how bloody hard it is. Will be interesting to see what happens when they switch houses. (I assume everyone plays in all three houses? - What a great concept!) Amazing work...

Nice to see... Well done Kate! :)

Hi Jim, With regards to layouts, there's only so much the pro shop can do. I believe you're at Coffs, so James will be able to advise better than me from 600 k's away. I often say to customers ''you've got to meet me half way and touch the holes!'' :-) Also be aware that the video was shot...

Hi Brenton, Sorry, been away working in Canberra and haven't been about! The stampede is a little cleaner through the front and carries better when thrown straighter. The Reax reads earlier and has a more curving backend shape. That said, with enough friction, the Stampede hooks a ton! But I...

G’Day Bowling Fans! The Stampede has a solid red cover wrapped around the Horn asymmetrical core. The ball motion is very useful, being strong off the midlane, then a smoother, heavy roll in the backend that still covers plenty of lane. In this review, you’ll get to learn about the ball and...

:) I've been called plenty worse! In fact, if you saw me bowl lately, "Rusty" would be more appropriate...

Better watch the video to the end for details on where to get one! Here's a Hint - Read my first post! ;-) And Velo! Who the hell is "Dusty"..? A Country and Western singer? :p

G'Day Bowling Fans! This is a review of the Raging Bull Longhorn from Seismic Bowling. The Longhorn has a really attractive pearl cover wrapped around an elongated (higher RG) version of the Horn asymmetrical core. The ball motion is very useful, being strong off the midlane, then a smoother...

Haha! Thanks Dale, thanks John. I have a friend in Canberra who with a team of mates enters festivals like TropFest and Lights, Canberra, Action and the like. I even got a cameo role in one of them. But one man can't attempt such things!

Despite what it may seem from my previous post, this news makes me genuinely happy. I hope it's everything you want it to be Sam. Your work ethic surrounding your game is self-evident and you improve substantially every time I see you play. I've no doubt you'll give as good as you get, and...
