Re: Jason Belmonte nominated for a ESPY Award - Now it is up to us to see an Aussie W Good luck!

I remember watching a matchplay practice session involving Norm Duke on Xtra frame(it was best of 5 matches). Norm's opponent ( a higher rev player) deliberately spent the practice session with his dullest ball bowling down Norm's line. It didn't matter his ball wasn't close to striking, it was...

What matters most to me is having fun while bowling. At the end of the day, bowling is not my day job, and its what I choose to do in my spare time. When it stops becoming fun, then I have to re evaluate why I am bowling. Its one of the main reasons why I switched to bowling two handed. Saying...

Hey mate Have you got a date yet?

I like the idea of head to head games during qualifying. Like was on the gold coast a few years ago.

Good luck matt!

All the previous games are on youtube. look up Tenpin Bowling show State of Origin. Thank you to the Bowling show for putting it on. Looks very professional. BTW, why is Mick Little playing for NSW (thought he was born in QLD)=)

Awesome bowling!

And we wonder why all the book stores went bust here. Local distributors have to pay gst but if you buy from OS you dont. Pretty soon there wont be anyone left to drill balls if everyone had this attitude. Also its much easy dealing warranty issues with your local distributors than with a...

No its not.......he worded it wrong. He offers a discount to balls that are bought locally but charges full price for others. ;)

Anyone heard anything from the tba yet? I've only heard from John Coxon? I tried to get clarification as to when it was one can spare one handed. Ie Rachuig, Oz masters scratch tournaments but all he replied was as long as bowlers followed the rules, there wouldnt be a problem? I was trying to...

Grrrrrr........two for 8 ten pn conversions today. Tough today with dry outside boards. Need to practice more.

Matt I'd recommend you nominate for the handicap division. Dinesh

I thi'nk the point Stephen is trying to make is let league bowlers bowl with whatever they like. The restrictions would only affect those bowling at majors or internationally. If the once a week bowler wants to bowl in these tournaments then yes they have to conform to ball regulations...

Another point is the OZ masters. John (cox on) has stated that since it's an open event, you can throw the ball however they like. But, qualifying is done through the championships whose grading whether D, C or open is based on averages. Would that mean, one would have to observe the tba ruling...

Self edit.

Hey Mick Have you had a haircut since then? I thought it was Nigel Tufnel bowling:p JK Nice bowling that game against Carl Dinesh

Jim The way I see the situation is that the way the rule is written, it's perfectly legal to bowl both 1 and 2 handed in the same game. It's how the rule has been interpretated by John and the rules committee that needs reviewing. If they want to change the rule......they they should be the one...

Robbie....stop coming up with these scenarios:D Its hard enogh for the tba to work out what their doing now without making it more difficult or they probably already have made a decision about it........eventually they'll let us know (probably with a tap on the shoulder during a...

Jim - I've emailed John Coxon and sent an email to the tba fo them to pass on to Cara........but these things take time and as the rule currently stands (directly from John Coxon), the second ball cannot be balled one handed. So I (we) have to adapt till a clarification or new rule is made...

Try uncockingyour wrist and hold the ball so it's more to the outside of your hand. Use your top hand to hold the ball in place and stop it falling it of to the right. When you release the ball, try to keep your wrist in the same position behind the ball. This combination kills the revs puts...

My hy - road s still going strong two years later. It's probably had over 300+ games. I must admit I'm quite slack at cleaning and maintaining my gear yet it's still going strong though it picks up the mid lane a bt early than it use to. Think it's slowly morphed into a 1000 grit unpolished ball...

Saw it today at the bowl.....great concept. Hope to see more of it. It's always more interesting when you know the bowlers. I couldn't hear the commentary but still made for good viewing.

Well had league night today......went in a bit early and practiced sparing with the tenpin with 2 hands. took a bit of tweeking but managed to flatten out the shot. Best to play by the rules....cant plead ignorance any more. Picked up 3 for 3 ten pin spares today so quite happy. Felt quite...

I can see your point but I dont se this as a problem. For me to start sparing my 10 pin and 6 pin two handed ( these are the only two I throw the ball straight for could be contrued as sandbagging. ie I'm not playing to the best of my delivery. No doubt my avg may drop initially, but I also...
