Ahh sorry. I didn't read your post fully, I just skimmed. Thanks!

Just curious, do we know what condition is going to be laid for this event yet? Cheers.

Ashley Latimer's $50 deposit paid 18/10/11 through net banking. Cheers

League: 1x Symmetrical pearl pollished, drilled for length & control 1x Symmetrical solid @ 4000 grit, drilled for strong arc (just incase there's plenty of carry down - that is rare here..) Tournament: Just add 1x asymmetrical pollished pearl, stacked drilling. I'm with androoo...

I know backends don't wear, but I've been lead to believe that mid-lanes do wear as well if there isn't enough oil. Or is that just a myth?

Either way, both balls are grabbing the surface of the lane to hook, so they are both wearing down the lane. The problem with lane wear is that once it is worn beyond repair, you can't really lay oil down to accomodate, or you get a drastic over/under shot, because balls all of a sudden find a...

I don't know john, changing conditioning with todays current lane machine technology isn't as easy as people believe. Despite what some people think, you can't just change a condition & expect it to lay properly straight away - it does take time to set in. Changing between a sport condition &...

Hi Mary, can you put Ashley Latimer down for D squad? Thank you.

Deeper flat gutters - this works a charm, trust me. League bowlers believe our pins are off spot because it is really hard to carry the corners - having gone through every single pin personally, I can tell these people that our pins are all legally on spot. I'm not sure who set our flat...

This can't really take any credability out of the "sport" considering none of have been bowled on "sport" patterns. House conditions are just that, easy house conditioning for everyone, not just your sporting players. If anything, it should just weaken how valuable it is. It's like putting...

Big thing to say on a public forum matt, gotta be careful, you might burn bridges with some people. As far as I know, ballina would be very well maintained compared to some other places I have been to. There is a difference between "bad oil" & a harder condition.

Keeping in mind we are talking about the way the ball "looks" whilst rolling down the lane, rather than the actual logical benefits of the lane surface: I think one thing that can partially explain what you think you see john, is the fact that our eye & mind is that used to seeing right...

Ah yes I see, thanks. I understand it when its put that way, I thought the 60 was applying to the 50m race only, not both events~

I probably can't stress enough how IMPORTANT it would be to publicize this website among centers - I know my old center used to encourage people to come on here. But if every or most center did this I think it would be a pretty big step in educating the casual league bowlers about the...

Why is is 309600x60, just curious where the 60 came from. O:

Cost has nothing to do with dedicated, nor did I make a comment based on anything to do with cost (yes I am aware of the topic.) There are always going to be great bowlers unavailable to represent. Sadly, rural bowlers "may" come under that cateogory due to cost restrictions. Being originally...

State training programs are a great idea - it shows who is dedicated (pressumably) & lets face it, some coaching is better than none, right? No point sending representatives away who aren't being taught or fine tuned.

Congratulations m8, good to see some people carrying the back row!

Hi Dozza, can you please add Ashley Latimer into C squad? Cheers.

[edit] nvm O: Thanks michael~

Balls are tools we use. They aren't our ability. You need to learn how to use the tools before you can use them effectively. You probably found an easier target with the jazz because a more controllable ball, suited for people "learning" how to control a ball. Mind, I've seen some people play...

I always enjoy peoples body english, it's amazing how some people react after they've thrown their shot. My old head tech bowled a brooklyn shot for the win against me one league night, turned around & started hammering a MASSIVE solo on an air guitar, i found that hillarious. Sorta rubbed off...

I suppose this sorta proves you can't just give a ball to someone & expect them to average 180+ like the general assumption is nowadays. Lol.

Lol, I've bowled on wooden lanes primarilly up until this year. =P (resurfaced them too!) How old is synthetic technology anyways?

10 boards is an exageration that im sort of tired of hearing. Or am I seriously just lucky enough to not have come accross a THS that litterally lets you put the ball down between 10 boards & let you hit the pocket? Ah I see where you are coming from, Jim. Like george says, Youth of today...
