Sam Nucifora 300 Hey Sam Just want to add my congratulations to the very long list - you are a fantastic bowler my friend and we have not seen the total picture of what you can do yet. I hope you have many more 300's in the future. Best of luck to you and your team at the Nationals also...

Helicopter Hi Rob Please do not shoot the messenger - these are not my theories of layout - but these are a compilation of 'matched' peices of information from networks in the States and also Australia I have used. I would bet these guys are spot on - because they are good - I mean really...

helicopter drillings Thank you for your input Sumo - your remark about bottom weight was justified by the networks of persons I have had contact with - George thank you for your input also - Brenton your observations were spot on and one of the keys of effective outcome of the drillings is the...

Helicopter information Thank you for the information. Since I posted this request I have received a lot of information from people direct to me. Thank you those who reponded on total bowling and also privately. If anyone else is interested I will give you the result of my investigations...

Will you go to the Nationals @ 30 a pop The Super six do not run for 2 weeks - have to organise and coordinate more volunteers over a greater timetable - put through many hundreds of bowlers - send out timetables and adjust these timetables countless times as each individuals time schedule...

Nationals at $30 a pop $30 an event - is a price - how many events you bowl is just a decision you make - IF you go, is also another decision a bowler makes - Think about it. Going to the Nationals is to an enormous lot of bowlers a really exciting event. This is the National TOurnament of...

Hi there - I was wondering if anyone out there has information on layout - and any other information for drilling a ball for a helicopter bowler. I am interested in this subject - Can anyone assist? :shock: Gail TOrrens

Michael Little wins Gold Michael DAMN YOU'RE GOOD Gail

Hey guys I think you are doing Brian Voss a discredit here - He meant not hooking power but revolutions - revs do not always mean massive hook (I guess that also relates to where you bowl) - When the guys in the States say spin they just mean a 'working' reving ball. Cheers Gail

I did say that to you Brenton - but I have no interest in doing the drilling thing myself - I have been interested in the past - and went to the effort of buying a ball drilling rig - (yes) - a second hand one - North South East West set up only - and had a go - got all the drills which cost me...

I knew I would stir up some people with that comment. I am not afraid of technology of the balls - I have coached ball drillers spoken to many on a variety of subjects. Most see only the ball when a ball is bowled - nothing more - some are coaches doing a fine job like yourself (in the real...

bowling on kegel You will not have any trouble - eliminate any push in your game and concentrate on rolling the ball early and bowl in the area of the lane where you get the best length of shot for your style and equipment to keep action on the pins. Call into the pro shop and show the pro...

Dale Brian Voss is airing his beliefs - many of us share his thoughts. Our sport is a money industry that is targeting the system of changing how we play. He is a brave man who is genuine in his desire to keep the integrity of the game. How we identify a great player - in the 'old' days...

Getting hook - Coachng Boy this is an open question: Things that assist hook - 1. Not doing anything - relax your swing - keep your thumb down 2. not pushing the ball 3. Keep your shoulder leverage going 4. Keep your wrist firm my pressing gently on the outside fingers - this...

Right and left handed bowling Rob Buckley and Watcher are correct - Open play is open play and handicap tournaments are handicap - There is an advantage for an open grade player competing in handicap tournaments - blow the situation out to be rediculous (because it is more fun to think that...

Very good descriptions of targeting methods are being discussed. My answer previously was directed principally at aiming methods for using dots as one of the markers in the path of the ball for pocket hits - sparing is a completely different subject. The fact that there are no targeting guides...

Andrew Christopher 300 Hi Andrew Congratulations - well done. 2nd proves it 3rd reinforces. You have more to come I am sure. Best wishes Gail

Funny Well done Brenton - clear and concise. Exactly what Timmee and I tried to explain - Timmee threw me off with a description of 6 o'clock thumb ( I took it as looking down on the ball - as a ball driller would start out) - when Brenton described the thumb pointing to the pins I understood...

I would interpret the rule as - you cannot use the fingers about face - that is position your fingers in an opposite direction with your palm resting on the top of the ball - hence you must have your thumb in the ball or on top of the drilling for the thumb. I have tried to explain - hope I...

George You do us proud - I wish you well with your bowling and future. It is great a bowler takes the time to inform us all. I hope the time and effort you are putting in - pays off and you will reap the rewards of the hard work you are putting into your game. I will take a look at your...

How do you stop ripping the skin off your thumb The biggest cause is a thumb that is too big as Kevin mentioned - the other is HOW you grip with your thumb, also the moment of your release in the swing (normally a late exit will made the problem worse) When putting your thumb in the ball...

VTBA Awards Congratulations to all award winners and a special congratulations from me to Ruth, David, Jeannette, Tony and Anne. Hall of Famers that noone would disagree with. It is great to see persons who have given so much to the sport recognised by the State sport organisation. TBAQ...

Whats your opinion Steve I sympathise with your viewpoint - however I think the committee who structured the event were looking to encourage more participants to make the event larger and therefore create a greater pool of bowlers at the Masters and unfortunately did not consider your...
