Fair enough. I've never bowled league in an AMF centre, so I've never been a member of their "high roller" program, or whatever it is they call it. I just knew that AMF have had the kind of deals/benefits that they listed, already in place for some time.

Discuss what, exactly? Haven't AMF been supposedly, "supporting", the TBA in this manner for years now?

Congratulations to James Sitters on shooting a 300 in the Premier League last night at Bowlarama Wetherill Park. Well bowled James!

Bill O'Neill & Belmo are great mates. They play pranks on each other all the time. Was it the right thing to do in a situation like that? Maybe not. Did it give a much needed plug to the sponsor's? Yes it did. Did I like it? I'm still not extremely fond of the way it went down, but, thanking the...

Where did I say we should sit back and watch the sport die Jim? All I said was, some things have been tried in the past, they failed. That being said, I've no objection to new things being tried. But they need to be smart about what they choose to do. Lately, with all the gimmicky things the PBA...

The PBA tried crowd engagement a few years ago if I'm not mistaken. They had cheer leaders & people with vu vu zela's in the crowd. It didn't go down too well.

Barnes & PDW keep duelling it out for 5th place. Mika is making a run for the show. Rash is way down the bottom, in about 22nd place at the moment...

Dom Barrett is on fire with a 6-2-0 (W-L-T) match play effort so far. Big Wes is also going nicely with 6-1-1.

"Oooh yeah!" as he slaps out the 10 pin with a messenger! That's pretty cool. I didn't think that last shot looked all that bad really, a bit unlucky washing out like that.

Well, I watched about 3 mins of that video. It looked like people were having fun, but it just looked like any other league. You wouldn't know they were using a different scoring system at all, from that video. Just looked like ordinary bowling. I realise it was your first event and first...

Unfortunately, living in Sydney means you'll have to travel somewhat if you want to bowl some good leagues, especially in your neck of the woods. I live in C'town, bowl one league there, another league @ Wetherill Park & another league at Shellharbour.

Sydney is a big place. How far are you willing to travel?

Andrew Frawley & Paul Delaney run Shellharbour bowl these days.

Fair enough. I've not been to the Robina centre, I just remembered someone here, in another thread, talked about Robina being a possibility for nationals.

Isn't the centre at Robina a nice big, new centre? Being on the Gold Coast & not that far from Surfers, I'd imagine Robina wouldn't be a bad venue for the nationals at some point.

I just try to watch how the ball reacts when I throw it. If it does something unexpected, I will first analyse, in my head, wether or not I threw the ball correctly and if I hit my targets or not. If I feel like I threw correctly and hit my targets, I'll make a move and/or ball change based on...

I chuckled at the blue balls jokes. But that could just be the morphine they gave me after surgery today! :D I've watched most of these bowling center shows and I've enjoyed them for the most part. It's always interesting hearing the pros perspective on things...

I think you might be surprised Roy. Many people aim at the dots, including myself. Sometimes, I'll aim further up the lane a bit, if I want it to go a bit longer. Watch Wes Malott bowl. He aims at the dots on the foul line!

I agree with your above statement about the women's numbers at events. From what I've seen, the 8 pin per game bonus available to women, does not seem to have attracted any more women to the nationally ranked events. You see the same women competing at most of the tournaments. So if the aim of...

Although watching Australia demolish the Yanks in the Rugby League World Cup wasn't great to watch. Those guys who played for USA, will go home wanting to get better at the game, so they have a better showing next time round. Do you really think USA sent a team to the RWLC because they thought...

These days, to qualify for hosting the Qubica AMF world cup, the centre needs to have the Qubica AMF scoring system & equipment installed.

Dave Hurst 179 ave??? Really??
