    Super Cool Awesome Bowling Trick Shots. These are a must see!

    The dump truck made me instantly laugh. And continue to laugh until all the pins fell down... One of those awesome laughs that gradually builds because you know exactly what's gonna happen, and that makes it funny. Cow

    Ebonite Sport Series Event #4 Plastic Ball Event!

    That's putting it nicely... other comparisons would be blood out of stone... etc etc I'm looking forward to the challenge regardless. Hope to see many more people get the urge before Sunday or this will be the last time we attempt something a little different and a little special. Cow

    How Far Do You DRIFT on approach

    As Jason wrote in his post, the amount of drift changes in regards to what angles I'm trying to achieve. I'm honestly such a feel player that I simply don't bother trying to work it out anymore. When I was learning it was a useful tool for making basic adjustments, but as I wrote in the wrist...

    How Far Do You DRIFT on approach

    And that is why the Roman Numerals system failed... As for the drifting question, I have no idea. Haven't paid any real attention to it for a while. I'd assume 2-4 left. Cow

    Wrist devices, fair or unfair advantage?

    Straighter is Greater. On a THS you'll probably have a little bit more room for error in making the left side spares (for a righty) then you would throwing a straight ball (reactive like Mick, or flat plastic like myself). However, as Mick rightfully pointed out, once you get on to patterns...

    10th Rachuig team announced.

    It's been exceedingly simple for years. Turn up to roll off. Bowl. Make team. Bowl State Championships (a criteria in NSW, possibly not in other states). Attend 1 or 2 training camps (not strictly compulsory). Bowl Rachuig. Sorry, that appears to have not been working. I'm glad that TBA has at...

    Wrist devices, fair or unfair advantage?

    It would be a sight to see if a bowler such an Androoooooooo actually put one on to make his tenpin, as opposed to taking one off... Cow

    Wrist devices, fair or unfair advantage?

    Mike Scroggins. US Open Champion amongst other victories. Most PBA bowlers don't use them because of the variety they need in releases. Mike Scroggins has a wonderfully simple game, is left handed and rarely plays a shot with too much belly, therefore, in my opinion, it makes sense for him to...

    Ebonite Sport Series Event #4 Plastic Ball Event!

    Adjusting ball surface is perfectly acceptable. It's just not realistic to expect, or monitor, every single ball surface that someone turns up with. This isn't perfect. We aren't pretending it is. People wanted to see one, I wanted to see a plastic ball event, so we are running one. We are...

    What is an Advantage Really

    John, for someone who does a lot of good questions asking, you just answered that one pretty well. I think we also have to ask ourselves, 'Is this doing the sport of bowling good?'. Wristguards have advantages and they have disadvantages. I used to wear one, and now couldn't imagine going...

    Ebonite Sport Series Event #4 Plastic Ball Event!

    That is our rule... The only exception being the Viz-A-Ball, which has a softer cover stock, which provides more friction with the lane, and, as I've written previously, having seen the difference first hand between the Viz-A-Ball and the T-Zones, is a rule I will stand by. In fact, on of our...

    $6000 Doug Bear MEMORIAL CLASSIC at Mentone Bowl

    You're right. It equals $165. However, 5x$55 equals $275 and that is the entry fee for five man teams. I can only assume that's what you're referring to. Cow

    Am I Being Unreasonable?

    That's true regardless of the price. I think it's a matter of you nominated it, and when aware early that there were going to be problems you may have had a chance then to get your money back. To ask at the end of a set is never going to work, regardless of what the reasons are. It's the same...

    There you go. We weren't sure why it was so different, but that would definitely explain why it read the lanes much earlier then the T-Zones. Thanks Dale! Squad List. Jason Doust JP Li Chris Harvey Stephen Cowland Dave Rosser John Velo Jeff Cutts Brianne Butler Alan Shephard Chris Thomas...

    Ebonite Sport Series Event #4 Plastic Ball Event!

    Dale, Amagill is correct, it's all do to with the surface. Something I saw first hand during my time at Wichita where some of the guy's had Viz-A-Balls and others T-zones. The difference in hook was actually quite startling. Amagill, Ebonite, and their associated brands have an excellent range...
