    deadzones

    Troyza, what I have seen and experienced with Synthetics is the WAVES down the edges of the Lanes, this is where they are screwed to the timber underneath. I have spoken to Installers about this effect, they insist you cannot measure those depressions with a Feeler Gauge but to me you can see...

    asking for a show of hands...

    Wayne, it is the Cost, it doesn't cost as much to bowl in the States, I'm sure you can still pick $1 games over there and when the Aussie Dollar passes parity it will be even cheaper. willey

    asking for a show of hands...

    This may be the Case in America but for me the Game in Australia has been Hurt by "Cost of Bowling" pure and simple. I remember when you would Bowl in a Grand Prix event and pay $50 entry and have $1200 first prize in the 1980's. I also remember Bowling in a Grand Prix event and paying $120...

    How to shatter a bowlers ambition

    Dont **** it up for those that do enjoy the event, well Chin this exactly what this whole thread is about. How can you possibly enjoy the event if your made to sit out the entire Tournament, and if that Team didn't win than what a complete waste, whereas if they did Win, than that Bowler cannot...

    How to shatter a bowlers ambition

    Someone mentioned Anne Maree in a post of great players, I can remember a time when she couldn't get a spot in the Australian Team, even though she was the Best bowler, Why? It wasn't like she had to go out and improve as she was already the Best Woman Bowler in the Country, was it because she...

    How to shatter a bowlers ambition

    I'm afraid you guy's are SICKO'S, none of you should call yourself a Sportsman, to have someone Qualify for the Team and sit on the bench after spending all that money is really SAD, and to actually think that somebody will Bowl a better game than them, than you think your Nostradamus as well...

    Wearing street shoes while bowling leagues and tournaments

    Everyone here has an opinion on the non marking shoe's, but as an experienced Tech with 36 years under my belt I can tell you there is No such thing. Even the non sliding foot of a bowling shoe will mark the Approaches. So no body should be wearing anything other than regulation Bowling shoe's...

    SPC Winners.

    MY GOODNESS, 12 games than Matchplay, I've bowled in more games in a Daybreaker than that. AMF should give away running Tournaments, they just don't care. willey

    AMF Training Program - is there one?

    Two of the problems I've seen over the Years, !982 Nationals at Golden Bowl in Victoria, no Pro-Shop open on the Sunday during the Australian Masters, I just needed to fix up my Thumb hole, could have done it myself but the Shop wasn't open. SPC had a habit of bringing in Managers from all over...

    Fairfield bowling alley reopens

    From my understanding from talking to the Staff, they are going to put in Computer Score scoring and take out the Frameworx, this will cost a substantial sum of money, this does mean they are in for the Long Haul. willey

    AMF AUSTRALIA - COLLECTOR'S ITEM

    So the question is when did AMF start a Directorship, it must be after 1966, there were no Plastic Balls in 1961, BCH ran most of the Centre's till they went broke, than AMF started to run the Centres under Management and slowly bought each Centre that they could over a period of many years. One...

    Finger Holes

    Bigsy, most balls are drilled with the ring finger further away because it "is" further away from the Thumb and for no other reason. They can be drilled with a "Drop Ring Finger" or "Sarge Easter" technique, which will alter the break point of the Ball. But in your case I would probably just...
