Tonight at Kedron, 191, 204, and the 137 Darryl

Thanks levitian, I went for a practice last night, had a few beers, and did alright, i got 2 4 baggers, and just missed out on a 5 bagger, solid pocket, left a wobbling 8 pin. I have been practicing the "kneel-down" drill against my bean bag, and getting my release to be a bit later, before...

Hi All, I have lifters in my ball, and was wondering...... if I am getting lift / leverage, should i hear an popping sound as my fingers lift? Thanks Darryl

Hi All, When bowling should your thumb fit tight in the ball so you just relax your hand, or should you squeeze slightly with the base of your thumb (near the palm)? I have read lots on the net, and are undecided as to what should be done. I recently bought a new ball, and when drilling...

Hi all, Mine would be back in NZ about 12 years ago, I was bowling league, and both my oponent and I went strike for strike for 8 frames, then I left a solid 10, he struck,, and then ended his streak. Cant remember what our final scores were, but the rest of the league, stopped bowling, and...

Hi all, I have entered in the Treasure Island triple X comp (AMF), and was just curious as to the finals in each centre. Are the centres going to be given a condition to put down?, or are each centre just going to put down there 'house' condition. Thanks in advance Darryl Gore

Hi All, here is an excel scoring sheet, with automatic scoring Darryl Gore

Hi All, After reading the posts on the most 300 games per centre, i got to thinking, what centres, especially here in Qld, are considered to be the hardest or easiest? I have only recently started back bowling again, after about 10 years, and bowl at Kedron, and have heard some derogortory...

Hi all, My friend has got a ball, and is really inconsistant with his delivery, we have sussed out a strike line, and when he hits this target, all is ok. He however bowls very slow, and leaves a lot of 7 and 10 pins wobbling, at a rough count, from go to wo, his shot is about 3 seconds long...

How about.... 10 games qualifying top 16 advance, pinfall carried through 5 games.... top 8 advance, drop pinfall 1 plays 8, 2 v 7, etc.... 4 v 5 best of 3 semis, and finals also best of 3 :?: Daz

Tiger Woods on the Oprah Winfrey show, when asked "what race do you belong to?" In reference to his Thai, african american heritage. To which he replied "The Human Race". Good call !!! Darryl

Thanks Bowler Chick, At Kedron they had the $80 balls, columbia 300's, red and green, so my mate bought one of those. Thanks to everyone who replied. Daz

twice, both the same, 16Lbs hard at right side of 10 pin, just as ball dissapears into gutter it collects the pin, and sends it straight sideways into the 7. Darryl

Thanks guys.... :P

Hi, My friend has taken up bowling and loves it, he even joined a league, now he is looking at getting a ball, I thought here would be a good place to start. He bowls slow-medium paced, with slow revs as well, would initially be using standard grip, before heading to fingertip. He is...

Thanks guys, I think i will put a piece of white in the front, and maybe a couple of black on the knuckle side. When i got my ball from NZ, i ripped the tape out, thinking i would need to have the ball re-drilled, as it has been 12 years, and i was only 19 at the time, so must have grown...

How snug should the thumb hole be? I have heard that you should be able to pick the ball up by the thumb only... I know it is best to drill slightly bigger, and then pack with tape as thumb shrinks and take tape out as swells. Should you be able to turn your thumb in the hole, feeling...

Thanks George, Have watched your infamous 12th shot, 7 - 9 split, i recall... for your 298. :lol: Its been 10 years since i bowled last, and remember getting a lot more hook, but this is a good ball to change to for a inside line, when needed. I am hopeing to get back into bowling big...

no worries StoneCold, hope you bowl better than you type / link !!! :-)

Hi All, Well my ball arrived today, picked it up, and surprisingly, with the tape in the thumb hole removed, it still fitted my hand perfectly. Bowled 3 games at Kedron, and the hook was minimal to say the least (bout 9 - 12 boards), but bowled a 163 average, which i am happy with. Still got...

Hi Robbie, Thanks for replying. i am in Brisbane City, would be bowling at Kedron... From what i can remember about the lanes in NZ they were really oily, after 3 or 4 games, you could noticebly see a dry track from where the balls had been bowled. So far at Kedron i struggle to see...

:?: Hi all, Just a few questions / queries. :?: I have been out of bowling for 10 years, and are currently in the process of getting my ball over from NZ. My queries are.... :P Will my old ball still do the trick? :shock: has lane oil conditions, pin actions, etc... changed in the...
