One thing I would like to add Jim, that probably hasn't really been covered either, is that other countries/zones in other parts of the world where this is and has been the norm for a while. Those areas, don't have any genuine women's tours or series of events. Much like here, the women only...

From roughly reading the tournaments entered by women that were male ranked events, not all women who normally bowl tournaments bowled them all, but those that did, tended to be probably 50/50 in a mix of higher ranked female bowlers and local entries. I was just pointing out that of those women...

But regarding the original posters question, I couldn't go past KGB out there at Chirnside, Karl has always been welcoming each and every Melbourne Cup, always wanting to look after the bowlers. Can't really ask for more.

I am going to throw my 2 cents in here, having recently and currently undertaken some part time work in one of the pro shops here and knowing how much and what the whole sale prices are, charging 100 on top of what a ball costs wholesale isn't really as much as you might think, especially when...

I thought I would actually do some rough figures on averages to see how they compare. Quite often a lot of the women would find themselves sneaking in the cut but we are talking 1-2 tops. And of these women, they are the ones who generally bowl regardless and are at the top of the tree. Looking...

I agree John, you want to bowl a league in a bowling centre, you get sanctioned, centres can obviously offer non sanctioned leagues, but they should be restricted in numbers and be based around being fun etc. But the easiest ppl to get registered are newbies, they expect a registration fee of...

Some interesting points Robbie, giving the cashers only points is potentially not a bad idea, the only flaw being each tournament is different and different places obtain cash. If it were uniform it could be possible, but a better way would be to possibly just adjust the points spots to top...

When it comes down to it, this will affect maybe 3-4 tournaments for the whole year, Joondalup, Kegel, Innisfail, Hobart off the top of my head. Off the top of my head again, no women really came with cooee of the top guys averages on a consistant basis, let alone the bulk of the field and in...

I think it can be a multitude of things. The mods on this site have their own lives, full time jobs, businesses etc, so don't always have the opportunity to maintain things. Life in general take precedence, as opposed to coming to a bowling forum, I know I haven't checked the place in a fair...

At present, unless the lane conditions are opened up a touch like say at AO or Melbourne Cup and the shot favours a line where the women predominantly like to play, ie outside 10 boards, I don't think the women will be on a totally level playing field even with the 8 pins, and without being...

It would certainly pay to inquire at the bowl there if there are any knowledgeable coaches to help you adjust to stepping into a reactive ball from plastic. If you are used to throwing a straight release/shot, and you are wanting to improve your level of skill, it would be definitely be...

Airlines are airlines, they will try and bugger you anyway they can, I can still remember BA wanting to charge me $1500 for one extra ball when I flew to British Open over 10 years ago, and this was just at the gate when checking in even though I had extra baggage allowance. Unfortunately a...

Put one on for the Cup in Feb on the Friday night before!

Thanks John, was fortunate to hang in there n get on some pairs that suited me, bit of good fortune never goes astray, thanks for your kind words during the morning stage, cheers.

I drilled a Slant Pearl for someone the other day, one of the balls won from Orange, interesting balls, reminds me of the earlier Roto balls when they were trying to make a comeback and something the Roto balls hold strong today, not over populating the market with products and making sure each...

Well the follow up is, watched him bowl league, kept his thumb in the ball this time but cupped it like he was bowling no thumb, so 3 different ways of bowling, go figure, doesn't bother me, as long as people have fun, but I hate not having all the information when I do things, I probably would...

Or like what happened to me last night, watched a guy the previous week bowl, style noted all that sort of stuff, ball ordered, measured him up last night, still a conventional grip, all sorted, fit fine, came off the hand fine, go have a practice, here he is bowling with just two fingers in the...

Check your PM mate

There is more to come, stay tuned!

No problems, I think this ball will be a hit for anyone and a lot of different styles, hope you enjoy it like I am mine!

Wow, is all I can say for this ball. It is a rare occurance I can utilize a high performance ball and be confident in it's versatility. The Defiant Edge gives me just that. This ball is a pearlized version of the Defiant. This could possibly be RG's ball of the year until of course the next...

I agree Jase, however certainly wasn't meaning to single out AMF as the only bearers of bad service in some centers, it just happens that there are more of them about so easy to lump in that direction. I would say the majority of centers do a pretty fair job but there is always room for...

I wonder what would happen if centres tried to turn the 65% of their social side lineage to increase the approx 35% of the regular league play. I know I would rather keep trying to convert the average social player into a regular league bowler. Imagine the regular income if you could convert...
