I sent an email to the TBA asking this question and I never got a reply - that might explain it then.

I'm wondering why the Classic Cup isn't on the schedule

I had Linds, but now I have just bought Dexter SST7 SE. They are very very comfortable and have plenty of room to move. They come with a wide range of soles and heels so you can adjust with ease. I'd highly recommend them, but they are relatively expensive - well worth it though.

Well done Richard for the guess and Matt for fantastic tenacity under pressure to bowl those scores!

Mac Stewart 224 Thanks as always to the sponsors.

Voted :D Best of luck!

I know it's an old topic but I wish I thought of thumb maintenance before the weekend. I was averaging 235 in the final prior to my thumb ripping. I couldn't put my thumb in the ball properly in the last game and bowled a score that definately proved it :( Btw, apologies to those who heard what...

I don't know if I can get channel 31 here. What a great show though.

For the first time ever, I bowled in a Masters final without looking at the scoresheets at any time on the weekend, and I was surprised how much better my scores were. Maybe that's the way to go from now on :D Thanks for all your responses!

1 through to 6 actually. On the weekend I entered a tournament that I so did not think I had a chance of winning. I entered it hoping to bowl around a 200 average. I started off quite slowly, averaging 180 for the first 4 games. Then something just clicked. I realised that I had nothing to...

My record for the low game is 27. I was very happy with that! Of course, people could bowl 300 if they threw it in the gutter each frame :)

I tend to use standing sheets as a source of motivation in tournaments. Sometimes it works, other times it is more of a frustration if the scoring pace is high and you can only grind it out. What I find more annoying is if you bowl in an early squad and think you bowled well, only to discover...

When bowling in tournaments, do you look at the scoresheets to see what you need to bowl before your squad, or do you bowl your squad and then check to see where you place? I'm discussing this with a few bowlers at present and I was just wondering what TB members do. If possible, could you...

Jason Walsh 214.2 Thanks as always to the sponsors. Keep up the good work :)

It's a good way to learn though. I remember being kicked in the face years ago when a bowler flung their foot to counterbalance. They were bowling an aggressive hook and I was bowling straight down the 5 board at the time. They apologised, but it is useful to know what bowlers can do on the...

Another variable that could have an effect on scoring is carrydown. If bowlers use similar lines, that part of the lane becomes drier and drier, therefore you must move to counteract the oil being moved further and further down the lane. I tend to think it is more to do with a bowler than the...

Don't worry about it - a 600 series will come sooner than you think. If you focus on sparing I'm sure you will get there :)

- RETRACTION - Recent comments made by myself regarding sandbagging were malicious and ill informed. I sincerely apologise to all those bowlers, their families and team mates for any offence caused. I realise in hindsight that I should have handled the situation with much more diplomacy...

I remember the Illawarra Championships as a junior and I wanted a 600 series to qualify for the Masters and I bowled 199 199 198 for a 596. I was very frustrated! I was trying for ages to get my 600 series but when I finally did, I smashed it. My first 600 series was 645 at Warrawong Bowl (now...

I should probably say that I play both sports but unless I am participating in a bowling tournament, I don't go out of my way to watch it. Kudos to those who do. Whereas I go to the Australian Open / Medibank International every year.

My opinion is that tennis is a spectator sport. Bowling is not. I find it difficult to watch anyone else bowl - I honestly don't know how people can sit in a centre for hours on end during tournaments without actually participating in a squad themselves. The fact that you have to pull teeth to...

I don't use plastic either and it works for me. As long as you know how you can spare those annoying corner pins, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. ;) Believe me, I get some weird looks when my reactive ball crosses the lane and holds onto the side gutter - but I rarely miss!

George Frilingos - 222 Thanks

Hi Does anyone know where or when the NSW State Championships for 2008 will be held? I haven't heard anything so I was just wondering...
