Hi EJ, Geoff Ott and Gena Ott into C squad please. Ta, Robbie.

Hi EJ, chuck me into C squad thanks.

Hey Bee, you will have Ottys nomination and mine as soon as I get back from Shield. They would be in already if Otty could drive a computer more modern than an Etch-a-Sketch! ;)

I like the idea of a pro-am, have floated this with TBA before. I'll see what we can organise, and when. Would anyone be interested in a ball physics and layout seminar one evening?

What it might actually require would be for someone to write up the proposal and send it to TBA or their State branch along with an offer to volunteer some time to coordinate the various State teams, put the proposal to the airlines and coordinate the process. Could even be more productive than...

Brenda, I spoke to a few people at Nats last year and the general feeling was that people would be very happy to go to Perth. For that to happen though, one of the centres has to put in a tender. It's as simple as that. If the centres don't ask for the tourney, it won't go there. Us guys in NQ...

How many accounts do you have on the site, Brien? Just this one and BOS?

Docta, just to be clear about your complaint - TBASA received a request from a non-affiliated social bowler that they drop the requirement that a bowler seeking to represent his State be required to play a minimum number of games at the local competition level? And because this request was...

11" from pin on the line from PSA through pin. Make sure you check for flare safety.

Just like to thank the TBAQ Board and others who made the trip up to Cairns for the northern region AGM. It was a very productive and informative day. It was also great to see every northern association represented at the meeting. Looking forward to moving forward!

There's someone who has never played golf.

Have YOU actually read your original post? You reference 'young adults' specifically, then this: "Can I assume the same be said about TenPin Bowling (or any sport for that matter) The reason most drop out is because they find it to hard and confusing because there where never Instructed...

Probably took longer to write your post than to find the info yourself. http://www.tenpin.org.au/index.php?id=897

Hi Deano, Why was the date of the tournament moved in the first place? May is when all of the states hold Rachuig trials and champs - wasn't the tourney held in January in 2012?

PAP-solutely! :)

The PAP follows a constant rg path. The path shape depends on the (a)symmetry of the ball. Without friction it would do it forever. Accelerated objects eventually end up spinning on the PSA - the highest rg axis, that's how the DeTerminator works.

LOL, Mick you beat me to it. Matt how are the short patterns going to play on lanes that have had a 10-10 ditch for years? The patterns are designed to push bowlers into specific areas, and if the surface of that part of the lane has been destroyed it won't be playable.

No. The ball begins to flare at the moment of release. There is some minor wobbling of the axis as the ball encounters large changes in friction called nutation, these are the little curls in the PAP migration pathway in the Blueprint sims I attached. The core (more correctly, the total ball...

No.:)

Chris is incorrect about how a ball rolls. It has been thoroughly demonstrated that the PAP of a ball travels along a constant rg path as the ball flares. The pin does NOT move towards the PAP. This is also the reason long pin-PAP layouts in asyms burn tilt & rotation so fast. The attached pdfs...

No. The lane surface, including the topography, dictates what patterns are playable on that surface. The object of a lane condition should be to provide, as much as possible, an equitable test of skill. Proper selection of the pattern to suit the surface, age wear and topography of the lanes is...

Sorry Jim, didn't actually answer what you asked - if the 4 balls follow the same line to the pocket with the same transitions in the same places onlane, the carry should be very similar. This is one case where the actual ball surface and statics might make minor differences to the carry %age...

Carry is the product of correct entry angle and and good transitions onlane. Different covers/cores/layouts will result in the balls transitioning sooner/later/differently on the pattern, which changes the entry angle and roll at the pocket.
