Ideally, it is up to Tony and his team to look at options and I am sure they have explored a lot of different avenues, I haven't spoken with Tony in any way shape or form, so I really don't know what has been tried and tested, but I honestly think with some focus, good fortune and specific...

I think the original numbers they were hoping for were around 160 subscribing @ $20/month, someone with a calculator can confirm that this totals $38400. My opinion, perhaps the $20/mth is a touch high, ie compared to say xtra frame or similar. Other avenues could and have probably been...

Mate think you will find a few ppl at Caboolture when they first got the Kegel would have posted 1100+ series for their four games, Manhattan would have been similar you would think and just about every other ditched centre going. Massive scoring in a tournament though.

Unfortunately you are failing to grasp why a ditch is bad, we already have reactive balls giving people false impressions of their own skill levels, centers trying to keep their bowlers happy, but in turn probably not realizing the danger and future cost they pose to themselves by increasing...

A lot of the decent money leagues I have bowled in have been four and sometimes five games. Really enjoyed the old five game league at Caboolture. In regard to the post, I think Flynny's series will take some beating. Eventually we will have a 900 series here but I can't see it happening for...

Would be a very hard thing to do, because it can be a subjective outcome/reading/opinion, but grading the lane conditions for difficulty could alleviate the credibility issue for these occasions. ie 5 man league, sports pattern, he certainly earned it to the other end, singles league, THS, nice...

Wasn't aware of this, that is most certainly a big problem, I think there are a lot who didn't even wish to bother, and I would hazard to guess there are a few reasons why, including costs, the usual *****y groups that control things, kids might not be interested in shield anymore, much like...

Normally I would agree, but this particular pattern is a touch harder because it is a little flatter, and how it is broken down holds much higher importance than some of theasier patterns. Also obviously not used to their usual house shot which exaggerates their shortcomings even further.

It isn't so much that house shots don't promote skill, it is that house shots, higher scoring and the ability to shoot a lot of strikes paper of the cracks of missing spares. It is reasonable that to acquire a skill and for it to become learnt behaviour, muscle memory etc, over 10000hrs of...

A few people have bits and pieces of good reasoning in these posts but some are off base. Pattern, ordinary for the whole crew of juniors, this has been agreed, my suggestion of dual patterns, some have agreed, this could be a logistical nightmare, but it has some merit. At least the scores...

John is also right in that the scores need to be compared to each other and how similarly skilled players are scoring. The pattern is a tough one no doubt about it and nobody spares perfectly all the time, just look at the pros on some of the recent TV shows, but you can guarantee that they...

http://www.totalbowling.com.au/forum/junior-youth-forum/41316-tenpin-city-lane-type.html Couldn't be bothered typing out anything again, here are my thoughts from another thread on this. To add to this, have seen a lot of comments, not so much here, but in FB land, the juniors need to toughen...

There are so many different angles you can take this from. We can go on from days and by the time everyone has assembled their own 3 point view point, I still don't think we would have listed all that can be improved in this game. I think if you are taking it from an industry level 1...

Nice post mate, I have found through a bit of advice and my own tinkering, keeping the pin close to my pap certainly keeps the ball on line on the drier lanes, I tested it out with an Outlaw and for a mid range ball, I can use it on the driest of conditions here in Newcastle, I actually punched...

Jason, please stay on topic, dry lane equipment only, no talking about Virtual Gravity Nanos!

One of the best comments you have made Jim, if only I was permitted to drink at work!

Enjoy your day and I look forward to going around in circles a bit later. Actually, you can even have the final word on the matter, my common sense meter is running low and I think I am losing things in translation ;)

Good news, what we should be doing now, is discussing further what influenced this gentleman to take up the sport and develop a pretty decent level of enthusiasm, bottle it and repeat it across every bowling centre in the country. Great ball choice with the Roto Grip Bandit by the way! ;)

Invalid attachment apparently, or maybe my Mac doesn't like it lol.

I am not sure what else you expect me to say to be honest.

Of course being exposed to these patterns are good for future development, but this particular pattern is potentially brutal. You also have to remember that all juniors play on this, I would dare say only a handful at the top would be capable of being able to handle it. Without a doubt most kids...

Dude, seriously, of course I said it, it is in black n white or whatever colour your computer displays it in. Not worming out of anything chief. You asked for an explanation of sorts, I gave it. Simple. But just to reiterate: 1. Storm equipment has a general characteristic of being clean...

Unfortunately, the majority of the kids don't have such technical nouse nor ability as yet to back it up. We as adults still play the majority of patterns for our national tournaments the wrong way, how are the kids supposed to handle such a potentially brutal pattern with limited knowledge?

Lol, am happy you have learnt the quote feature, kudos, but if you follow the thread, Jason first mentioned that the Storm stuff has a strong backend motion and there are others that are a bit tamer, I merely agreed as most of the Storm equipment have strong backend motions, in particular the...
