Thanks for the feed back, it was a pleasure sharing a part of bowling history with every one. It would be great to see the other stars of the time posting old articles and sharing history of our great sport. Funny, dad always said we bowled off the wrong foot, the balance was amazing. Like...

G'Day All, Easy for me, I believe that every bowler should be a TBA member. In fact I was shocked when I came back to bowling after 24yrs away to hear it was not required. I was shocked that was permitted as 24 years earlier it was mandatory to bowl league. Every sport needs good governance...

G’Day All, Monday the 18th of March is a big milestone in Australian Bowling. Many may not realize, but next Monday will be the 50th Anniversary of the first sanctioned 300 game being bowled any were in the world outside of the U.S. Bowled at Northern Bowl Corrimal on lanes 1 and 2 in a five man...

Hi Terry, You’re not suggesting giving the strongest bowling demographic a leg up. How old do you need to be a senior??

Hey Gents, great technical article, well done. Always good to throw some tape on your ball from PAP to fingers and watch the transition. You can learn a lot from what you see and how the ball should roll at various points of the pattern. That is one area i have paid a lot of attention to...

G'Day, This thread is a lot more pleasant to read and less argumentative. Well done. For me personally the thing that would be more attractive would be more one day events. Two day event are costly to get to, costly to get time off work for. I choose my events very carefully due to cost. I...

G'Day George, I have mentioned it before, I am a fringe bowler and likely to be a bowler effected by an 8 pin start. But for me I don't mind, gives more bowlers a chance to compete and boost the girls ranks giving them something to fight for. Their effort is just as big as every body else...

Hey Jim, So like me you watch ABC 24 huh. Shows we are getting old.

Ok, thank you for to our political leaders for going out to Rooty Hill this week. It's is now lunch time of day one and the AMF Bowling sign has been in the back ground of a lot of the interviews. Front and center. Even the reporters have mentioned that a person dressed as a bowling pin has...

Thanks for pattern details. For those, like myself, that have never seen the pattern: 30 sec video here.

Ok I am a senior, I think, well I have plenty of grey hair and I am old enough to remember when one ball was enough. Unfortunately you some times just don't have the right ball with you. So you move your feet, until something works good enough. But the one thing everybody will do is find...

Well done Sam, be careful they don't charge excess baggage for all that gold!

I think the biggest difference and why MO always spins the ball on the Determinator after drilling, is that the Statics Weights are really only used to have something to measure, the spinning ball and 10lb bias make the static weight process a waste of time really. Especially when you see how...

The old Brunswick video is a good one.

They are a strong looking team. i am really proud of the job these guys are doing.

Looks like Belmo's final run was unbeatable. Fingers crossed for stepladder, hopefully no ringing tens this time.

Same as Andy, super dissapointed, been hanging for the series to start!

Hi Gary, Pretty amazing numbers +150 odd over second, well done Sam. Great to read and watch the numbers, not so good to be on the receiving end of them. Hard work put in, great rewards at the end. Well done Sam.

That really is a fair point. Two reasons come to mind, 1: if league is your one night out for the week, it's your time, then you are there for the social side. the fun of the people around you. Bowling is great for this, as we all bowl from and same end. They get out of there quickly after...

Good Video, Just when you think you have your head around ball layouts, Mo comes up with something new. I find it amazing in that it show that the latest and greatest ball is not as important as getting the layouts perfect for your delivery specs. Great video, thanks for sticking it up here.

Mistagear and Jason, Absolutely, birthday parties at AMF Centers need to change if trying to capture that market. I think this is exactly were a short game with different scoring can benefit. The next thing that needs to change is the way they are run. I recently had a Birthday party for my...

Hi Nomore4s, I totally agree. For me I strongly believe in strong sporting governing bodies, every bowler should be a TBA member. That is the best thing we can do to get bowling on the survival path. Long road but worth it.

i think it is on this weekend Luke.

G'Day Nomore4s and every one else, The reason a lot of the older folks, like my self compare bowling as a mainstream sport, and realy it is unfair these days, is because bowling once was a main stream sport in Australia. In the early 1970 there where more TBA ( current name obviously )...

WOW, i started this thread in a light humoured manner, with the thought of creating some fun slogans and to get people to think about what they LOVE about the sport. What did we get, a few good thought, followed by bowling is the worst thing in the world due to equipment, the people involved...
