Very nice Bon316, Just like those old Testra adds, call home after years away.

Hey CT, I was going to respond with every body has access to illegal bowling balls, but we also have access to the drugs. So, can't even say that the illegal bowling balls will put a bigger smile on your dial. So maybe the slogan should be "Bowling, messengers on drugs"

G'Day All, Well after hearing the latest revelations of Australian Sports Commission and seeing that so many sports full of drugs, drug cheats and illegal gambling, is now the time to push bowling with new slogans. "Bowlers Dope Free" or "Bowling, the great drug free sport" Already other...

Phluff and Jim, Good points there. I agree, it's not so much the game but the environment created. Coloured lane oil, I like that idea, could make the lane break down easier to read? Again, the key have fun and make it fun, then it would be fun to watch if the bowlers are having fun also...

Glad you found date, John Velo A Squad please. Will get a deposit through tomorrow. Early i know but hey, better than to late.

Hi Jim, The Australian Open story really is amazing. Great job done by the promoters to sell what is currently big in China. yet you look at the Aus F1, viewed by an even bigger audience and it is not wanted in Vic by the public or government. Now what if we could sell a bowling tournament...

I can see the merit in a shorter format with more games and result. Especially in match play. Instead of pin fall it could be wins and loses or over and under. Three game matches with best of three getting points. It just needs to be simple and easy to manage. But still for me have some...

G'Day, That doesn't sound to bad. Could work for pot nights to get it going? What if that was modified to a four frame game but the fourth is still three ball scored the same way as bowling is currently. My figuring is that the computer scoring could be easily modified to four frames. But add...

Hey Gents, Good points made on the over and under. As a kid watching events the average was not the focus but the over and under was. The attitude of bowlers is one of the biggest things i have seen a change in. How many events we bowl in were your opponent is tweeting the whole way through...

Thanks once again for your imput. Let me say once again that i understand where you are coming from and the point you are trying to make. Tennis has not changed really, or has it? They have found away to make it work through promotions. they dropped the gentlemen behaviour and allowed people...

G'Day All, I do understand were mistagear is tying to go. I do believe that some of the points raised are valid. The only time bowling gets on TV in the U.S is in the finals, it's step ladder and its over in one hour. The top five play off for the purse. The games phyisical layout makes...

Hi Roy and Jim, I might offend a few here, that is not my intension. For me I do believe that some of the issues with bowling are the bowlers, as pointed out by MistaGear. Please let me explain before jumping over that comments. We as bowlers do take ourselves too seriously. Bowl our shot...

That person was good enough to strike regardless of how. Always, always always be a good sport. What people will not remember is how he won, but how you took the defeat!

Thanks Guys, John Velo for B please. See you all soon.

Hi Guys, Received entry forms by email yesterday.

Baggers, Are you left or right handed? I use a wrist device for support, not a mongoose but an older scorpion non-adjustable type ebonite zl-2 and then modified it to give me relief when bowling. The reason for wearing one is simply to stop wrist pain. What to consider, is what you really...

OK, I have to put it out there. Jason, Vince was a good sledger, he had some good lines. Imagine if sledging was allowed in the finals. Maybe that would pick up the TV ratings in Australia.

Hey Michael, All good, I did not take it that way. The point i was making was more that the timing was probably bad for this one and the biggest factor for many, like events in the Illawarra, too far out of the city to make travel easy and all adding to the cost. The pattern, doesn't...

The pattern did not matter for me in my desicion not to bowl, it was poor form and timing. The date simply did not fit in so late in the year as the bigger priority. As for the pattern, if you throw the ball well, you will score well compared to others. Like Michael mentioned, early pattern...

Hi Guys, Just sitting here at work, ABC 24 on and to my suprise a 2 1/2 minute story on Jason Belomonte. Well done ABC 24 for the great 2 minute stories on outstanding Australians. Link here...

Nice bowling Glen

Well done guys, top 24 for both, awsone some far.

Hey Neil, The good thing about this sell off is all the new kit you will be playing with.

Hey Daz, Do you think the subscriptions are worth it? I have been looking at some of the sites. Another good site is http://www.billspigner.com/articles

For me the Sports Series is the best value for money event you can bowl in. $100 first past the post and only three hours. Like 20/20 is keeping cricket alive, short format may be the answer to bowling. 10 games top three play off top 1/3 of the field get a payout. Run one each month, 12 per...
