    2011 Adult State Team Roll offs

    Morty you could be our guinea pig - get the train up for Champs and fly back from Townsville or Cairns. We will need a trip report...

    2011 Adult State Team Roll offs

    Going South - can leave Thursday, arrive friday, leave Brissy Mon pm and get back Tuesday (for Townsville). $12.50 per two ball bag for luggage, if you have to pay for it - not too bad. Definitely worth investigating further, and QR reckon they are putting on another tilt train early this...

    2011 Adult State Team Roll offs

    On the subject of travel, would bowlers consider travel by train? The airlines are basically out in terms of sponsorship, but perhaps QR could be approached to sponsor the Qld State teams by offering say $50 tickets to the rolloffs? It is a long trip, but on the positive side taking as many...

    2011 Adult State Team Roll offs

    Ryan, As long as you are 18 or more as at the date of the rolloff you can bowl Rachuig or restricted (just not seniors lol).

    Oh - and for the record I will be at Robina competing for the honour of representing MY STATE.

    2011 Adult State Team Roll offs

    Just to be perfectly clear, this post is from me as a bowler, not as a TBAQ officer. Geoff, Mackay is still 4 hrs drive from Townsville, 8 from Cairns and 10 from Brisbane. No matter where the rolloff is held there will be many who are faced with travel costs. Last year the SQ based bowlers...

    Ball Brands - Where is AMF at AMF centres!

    Oops - make that 14 x 1/8" spacers, as in 14 pieces. Tonx, you're just mean. :D

    Ball Brands - Where is AMF at AMF centres!

    Not trying to teach you how to suck eggs - I can appreciate that a bidirectional moving jig is expensive. Being a simple person, I was thinking about a more simple approach: Make a square plate with the ball ring centred on it. Make a square holding plate 1" bigger each way that it sits on...

    Ball Brands - Where is AMF at AMF centres!

    Most bowlers do use the same drill specs all the time. A lot probably shouldn't :) - apart form experimenting to try to get the fit just that little bit better, it is possible to drill balls with slightly different grips to achieve a different roll. The trick is to alter the grip in a way that...

    Cyclone damaged centres?

    Kirwan will be open tomorrow, some water damage to the approach on lane 7 and we have a leak over lane 1. Ayr is already open, Innisfail and Cairns had planned to open on Monday as well as far as I know.

    Ball Brands - Where is AMF at AMF centres!

    Sorry, you misunderstood what I said - I accept that the holes you drilled are pitched to 3/8 left/right lateral. However, it would be very unusual for those laterals to actually fit anyone properly, since for most people the middle finger bends towards the base of the thumb and thus generally...

    Ball Brands - Where is AMF at AMF centres!

    Couple of points - your video comes across as more of a vanity piece than a sales tool. It is far too long and doesn't go into any real details of how the pitches are applied to the ball other than the ones you use for your grip - which I must admit seems a little too convenient as all the...

    State Champs at Innisfail

    Should be fine Matt, as long as you can handle bowling with two State reps and a left handed gumby. :D

    State Champs at Innisfail

    Hey George, Do you want me to hook you up with a team mate? I have three people looking for a 4th player.

    State Champs at Innisfail

    Matt, the entry forms are designed to enter four people at once - you bowl 9 games together, 3 as singles, 3 as doubles and 3 as a four person team. We already have others looking for people to make up teams, so if you make the decision to bowl in the Qld Champs i am sure we can find you a team...

    Ken Sheehan or Terry Wenban? :)

    A question for you all

    The problem with that is that the results are misleading. It's not a matter of being 'after the challenge'. For me, Nationals brought home just how inconsistent my release had become - and this is on our house pattern which is not as easy as most. When I was bowling in Brissy, I used plastic...

    League rule query

    Nothing I could find in the TBA rulebook specifically covering blind scores winning head to head points, so I would suggests Jim's analysis is correct. However, in the (unlikely) circumstance that the bowler already had the point won with the five frames he completed he should get the point.

    State Champs at Innisfail

    Evidently it is not just bowling balls that overreact these days.
