1) More oil on the lanes. Doesn't need to be a flood, but being able to bowl league and actually roll the ball, rather than chuck it. 2) House patterns that are tightened up so it's not so much of a step up when bowlers go to a National Event. Sports Series are a great concept and show you...

Going through the same thing at the moment. It used to come pretty easily to me but I took a year away from the game in 2009. Ever since I've bowled way below my previous ability and expectations. Don't know what to do at the moment, can't seem to do anything. Throwing 200 now is a major...

Slightly off-topic, however..While most of the important factors have been raised above, I still think the cost of keeping up technology-wise is one of the greatest disadvantages today. For example, most balls on the market will probably last around 12 months at decent performance level before...

From memory we bowled on the US Open Pattern at a Sports Series event at Caboolture a few years ago (2005?). It was brutal.

See Steve, told you that you should get back into bowling!

Belmo 515? Good luck guys, big last set.

TBA have now been in contact so I am sure this will be rectified immediately if not already. Thanks TBA for making contact so quickly once becoming aware through my post.

It gives bowlers of less experience and/or skill an incentive to want to try and improve. Not saying it's right or wrong, but an incentive all the same.

Last month I went online to the TBA website to renew my membership. I couldn't remember my account details, so I selected the password reminder and entered my corresponding email address for the details to be sent to my inbox. What I got was another person's name, username and password. In...

Well done Ryan, great bowling.

Hi Mary, I have paid deposit via Credit Card with the bowl today. Thanks Tim

At least he's giving it a go. Good on him.

Hi Wayne, While I don't disagree with you, we also have to realise that the bowling scene in Australia will never emulate the US, or Europe or even Asia for that matter. Australian tournaments don't have the existing support number base, don't have the funds and don't have the same prestige...

Well done Matt, that's great!

Back in late October a photographer decider to drop in to Aspley Bowl and take some pictures. I featured in a couple of the shots so I decided to get his details, and the shots have since been posted up on his web blog. I Dig Your Sole Man: Bowled Over; Brisbane It was good to see someone...

Brilliant bowling, well done Alicia!

Well done mate, great game.

Thanks :) figured it was anvilane but wasn't sure what exactly the term referred to (or why it's the case that it behaves that way). Cheers.

At the risk of sounding silly, what's anvilhang?

The unions aren't just after more pay, they are trying to secure work processes and systems that are not required by the new generation aircraft which Qantas are acquiring. This is where Australia struggles to match overseas work practices, the jobs aren't required in their current form...

Well it took a story completely off topic for the nationals to get a mention in the media. Taken from the Brisbane Times website live blog on the Qantas crisis.. "1.38pm: Another sporting team caught up in the fallout: the Northern Territory ten-pin bowling team which has been visiting Rooty...

This is a shame but not really a surprise. Qantas was bleeding over $2million a day due to the unions' industrial action, for an airline already losing $200million a year on it's international arm it had no other option.

Hi Mary, C squad please. Thanks Tim

Hi Mary, Could you please put me down for A squad. Thanks Tim

Jim and Michael, great ideas, however to make them successful centres need to want to push league bowling. I am seeing less and less focus on leagues as the years go by, and more and more on social bowling. Back when I was working for AMF a few years ago counter staff had to approach social...
