Thats fantastic! When i had my latest 300 earlier this year my dad had the front 7 with me, still finished with 256 i think it was.

your release stats also play an important roll in ball surface. For instance, i bowl the ball with alot of forward roll, if i were to hit a ball with say 800 grit, not only would the ball want to read the lane very early *surface*, my release being a forward roll will have a much shorter skid...

I dont know how to say what i'd like to say here, without sounding like a total a$$hole. With such a variety of ball brands now you absolutely can not regulate that. If i had the best Sandwich shop in town and the SMAA (Sammich Making Assosiation of Aus) told me group 1 can have Ham but group...

Not so much "immediately" before i bowl, but generally I dont eat anything except a bit of toast or something lite, for 2-3 days before an event. So i dont get Gout mid tournament. Normally takes 2 days for an attack so i can eat while im there. Just dont like to eat much before. I also find...

Its one of my daughters b-day that saturday and we were gunna be heading up to the Billabong park anyway, so i think i'll slip away and have a chuck at some skins haha. Havnt had a roll at Port since i was about 14. Ill ring the bowl and shoot the entry fees thru in the next couple of days...

Need to head down to the National Tournament section, and click on the "Nationally Ranked Tournaments" link, follow that and the NSW open thread will be near the top. lgt is updating the squad lists so search for her latest post once in the thread, start at the last page and head backwards...

Edit: Mo Pinel's answer about reverse oil, for anyone interested. "Here's the real answer about reverse oil. Reverse oil controls the amount of oil in the front part of the lane. Forward oil controls the shape of the pattern at the end of the pattern. The more reverse oil in relation to the...

Nobody has mentioned using them improperly, thats not what the thread is about. I only started using Pin Pal about 3 weeks ago at league. I like going back over and seeing what spares i missed, what i was leaving up and a couple of other stats have been very helpful too. Im doing this so i...

I've been wondering about this for some time now, and now seems as good a time as any to ask. How does forward oil and reverse oil affect how the ball rolls/reacts? Seeing as this pattern is laid down as mostly forward oil, at 47 feet does this mean it will basically aquaplane the ball or does...

Hi Adam Just out of curiosity mate, have you tried Pin Pal before on android or iphone(ive seen both they are the same) and if so how does it compare? I know Pin Pal is $10 but i've found its really really good so far.

Dad told me its not. I forget who told him. May of been passed down the grapevine by Illawarra staff. Not 100%. Would be a shame if it didnt run i had alot of fun last year and for somebody like me who doesnt do the masters it was good to get a taste of the nats pattern. I think the next NSW...

No apology required. Opinions are great. And "Hacks" was a bad choice of wording on my part. All i meant by that was most guys/girls with atleast 1-2 years under their belt bowling are going to average 120-160. They hit the head pin more, get more spares but arent in that higher bracket yet. By...

Go Vossy, hope he throws his Seismics!!

Maybe for a new bowler who bowls a true 150 ave but throws 175 on a THS in league, this statement might be true. I see these sorts of excuses alot, and im getting tired of them. These 150 ave hacks arent the people competing for money and playing against the best players in the country. THOSE...

Thats fantastic. This is one of the best tournaments in the state, and my personal favourite. Would love to see 2 full squads next year, or even 3!

This is the only place i've ever been asked, and probably will ever be asked, if the temperature was ok on the lanes!! All the Prices are amazing people, and if they can be accused of anything, its caring TOO much. As Dad said we will be there to bowl every year that its running. If anybody...

Thanks Jim. Not much has changed at Taree in 10 years. New oiling machine is about it (2nd hand new, not NEW new). Like most old wood houses each lane has its own story and playstyle!.

Theres so many truly brilliant men and women who have played this game at all levels. I think its hard to say that 1 person is "the best" and leave it at that. Winning so many titles in such a short time is an amazing feat, but also being in the mix and not far from the top for 2 decades or more...

please remove Darryl buttriss. Injury. Sorry Cow

So much drama. High school all over again. Most members here would be unaware of all the behind the scenes dramas/history that TB and TBS obviously have, but MOST people here know that this is one of the only places bowlers can get together and discuss such matters with other members of our...

I dont practice, but i do a prebowl league, and i consider it practice. I get to bowl by myself and can stay in my own world. Works out very similar to tournament conditions, meaning very little social interaction. And also my house burns fast so staying ahead of the transition is important...

I dont know how well advertised it is in the city, but until the NSW OPEN 2010 i had no idea Australia had any tv coverage at all for bowling. Coming from a smaller town i would never learn of such a thing, and this is the first im hearing about this membership aswell. I didnt even know this...

Good on him. I wear a hat and shorts ... whenever im allowed. hasnt helped me yet.

Please remove Shaun O'Byrne guys, he told me tonight he has a family Doo and is now unable to attend.

oh sweet! well done mate
