Even though it's true? Telling people they are a " special unique snowflake " will only lead to misguided egoism. If Australians want to become a better class of bowlers, then we need to approach the situation with half a glass, & take what we can get, Instead of settling at a level we think is...

Once whilst I was off duty, we were having elevator trouble on a pair of lanes. A league bowlers ball got stuck half way up the up-rails on our P.B.L set up, & was there for a while (the counter staff thought the ball was under the lane, so they were checking the cappings for about 5 minutes)...

Isn't this what challenge leagues are for, basically? [ opinion mode ] The thing about tenpin is that it, just like every other sport, has evolved. perhaps our evolution has more bearing on the core of the sport its self compared to say, tennis.. well, no, not really. Back 50 years when they...

I'm pretty certain not too long ago (not sure about it now) that even the set of pins had to be weighed for honor scores, right? I'm guessing this is no longer the case? PS: if waynes posts annoy people so much, ignore them completely? Forum trolls thrive of retalliation, & to be honest, I...

haha true.

We have had a 2 incidents involving people trying to get into the pinsetter. One of them was so drunk they didn't know what they were doing, & the other was an exchange student who had never heard of the sport, and had no common sense. All of which happened over 2 years ago. You'd be amazed what...

Not sure if anyone has said this because I didn't read all the posts - I would believe the extra charge on league compared to practice would be covering the um... the actual league, if you understand what i mean? You can practice, but your games don't get saved, & your points don't get stored...

But walter-ray is already a fantastic bowler, I'm sure his level of play surpasses the likes of ball branding. *shrug*

was excellent guys, as usual. Looking forward to it next year!

Hey James, could you add Ashley "Troy" Latimer to B & C squads? Thanks.

Hey james, can you put me down for the first 2 squads on friday? I'm having trouble accessing the entry form so i can't exactly give specifics, but from what I've heard the squads on friday will suit me better than saturday due to work. Cheers mate. -Troy Latimer

http://hosting3.sportingpulse.com/www.tenpin.org.au/index.php?id=1 Looks like TBA haven't really been as slack as some people have suggested, heh. Excellent work Jason, about time. Great pioneer for the sport, keep it up & rule the world.

I'm one for safety first. Whilst maintaining a great service to customers is important, so is my life. So if it takes an extra 10 seconds to re stand a pin because I pulled the plug from the power supply, then so be it. Don't get me wrong, I'm deeply sympathetic to those involved. But this is...

Pete Webber is actually a power stroker but what ever. You also miss understood when I said high revs can be a hinderance on a broken down condition. There can be ifs & buts about it, but in the end, unless you have a plastic ball or a really light reactive, a dry lane is going to burn any ball...

I don't agree 100%. Whilst what you say is true partially, there is no reason why one with less revs can't make an equipment change & play deeper. If anything, once the traffic moves inside, & the middle starts to wear out, revs are going to hinder a player unless they can throw the ball faster...

Revs only look pretty. Took me 2 years to figure that out, & ever since I stopped caring about revs, I've started bowling a lot of my PB's. But that's just me. A lot of people rip the cover naturally, 7 there for will naturally bowl well, because it's part of their in built technique Sometimes...

Congrats ben, the first one is the hardest. & nerve wracking too!

Lately I've just been letting the VLS do the work, & I have had less than half the off spots I'm used to, & there is no build up of muck or anything to say they're dirty or greasy. Mind you, these are wooden not synthetic.

Indeed it is. Maybe you will get to see it in the olympics after all, brenton. 'Maybe' :P

It was a great weekend, just a little disappointing that my team mates didn't do as well as they could have. Bad luck on the 267 though rowey, (10th frame's a bugger) & congratulations to you & your team for the superb bowling. ( :

Also like to know where my 1527 went but not as if it matters anyway heh.

You'll find that the more often you bowl, the lighter your 12 lb ball will feel. Maybe wait it out 6 - 8 months before you buy a ball, because nothing can be more annoying then paying $200 for a new ball, just to find out 2 months later that its too light. I'm only 60 kg & would love to use a...

It was fantastic, such composure on his final ball. Very inspiring. Congratulations.

Was an excellent week end. Thanks James, will definitely be there next year (& hopefully bowling above average next time)

Just reading on the health benefits part of your post, jockey, I totally agree. I must say though, I have seen a lot of improvement in the encouragement of bowling in regards to schools, since i started (& since I finished school) When I was in school going back 3 years ago, our school NEVER...
