One of my leagues has just reached the end of its season and has traditionally been a 4 person team league. During the course of this season, we've had a number of drop outs etc, leaving us with only 2 teams which have 4 members. Rather than recruiting one new member for each of the other...

Hi all Looking to get back into bowling more seriously, but wouldn't dream of stepping up at a tournament with my chipped, scuffed and rarely if ever cleaned equipment from the late 90's, early 2000's. I have absolutely NO idea about the latest equipment and reading review after review about...

What in hell is going on in the AFL right now?? Kevin Sheedy after 27 years as Essendon coach will not be coaching the Bombers next season, the fourth coach to go this season. Now I may be a bit biased as an Essendon supporter, but what's the story? Essendon are still in contention for finals...

Following on from a previous thread, I was wondering what physical aspects are important to maintain off the lanes? Lately I've found myself not feeling 'fit' on the lanes. What sort of activities do others do to stay 'bowling fit'?

What are people's thoughts on the state of our Test Cricket team? You might have the view of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it.' But i personally would say it is time for certain players to be retired and for more youth to be injected into the side, as painful a process as that might be. The age...

Does anyone know the best way to get a hold of Knight Rider the game 2? I know it's around in other parts of the world, but i don't know the best way to buy games from overseas. Any ideas would be great, coz i would really love to get this game! Thanks

I had to nominate myself for this one. Started a new league after a 4 month break last night, and i was a bit nervous, because some of these guys were very good, and my form was non existent at best. So i lined up, took my time, delivered my first practice shot... WHUMP!!!! I turned to see...

Recently someone suggested that when lining up, i should hold the weight of the ball entirely in the left hand (being a right hander), as this keeps the right arm relaxed throughout the swing. Obviously that makes sense. However i find that to do this effectively, the ball rests in my left hand...

I heard recently that a complex down in Cowes is fully drawn up and selling as we speak, complete with a bowling alley. Sure enough, advertisments in a local real estate agent confirmed that this project is going ahead. 'The bowling alley is coming to Cowes' adorned a nice poster at a Real...

Ok there wasn't a news story, but for the whole bulletin there was a bowling video playing right next to the newsreaders head, on one of the screens in the background. Made the 11:30 news that much more interesting anyway! And its one small step closer to better coverage and exposure for...

Hey guys and girls. Just wondering what sort of training everyone does each week for their bowling? I would love to improve my game, so I was wondering how many games some of you bowl per week, and what other training you might do?

What a great effort by the two Victorians that made the cut at the Melbourne Tenpin Cup! Paul Trotter was dominant during matchplay. Had day two of qualifying gone his way, he would have been well in contention for the title! But another consistent performance, highlighting why he is one of...

Despite my greatest endeavours, i seem to be consistently dropping my right shoulder and falling off my shot. Yet generally when i am sparing, this is not the case! This is probably a tough proposition given that you might have to see me bowl to actually find a solution. But just wondering...

This topic is a bit left field, but what's the situation with sanctions? If i bowl two leagues and sanction through my league at one centre, does that affect what i can and can't do at the other centre in any way? The answer is most likely quite obvious, but it is the first year that i will be...

Celebrating their last junior tournament at Goldpin Junior shield, Dean Mattei and Luke Ross donned colourful beach towel capes for practice following the lunch break on the final day. Luke's first ball hits the spot, buries the pocket, massive superman style ride from Luke... 5-7-10. Still...

In his first tournament as a pro on the PBA tour, Tim Mack's dream run has come to an end at the hands of Mika Koivuniemi in the Round of 8 at the PBA Miller High Life Open. After Mack took the first game confidently with a 240/202 victory, Koivuniemi stepped up to take the next two games...

After a 7 week break from bowling, i'm having a lot of trouble hitting my targets. Does anyone know of any effective practice techniques to help regain my accuracy? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Well, only one month to go now til Goldpin, and the pressure is rising. Will Morwell live up to their words and be the dominant force in the tournament? Or will Sale rise to the occassion and surprise the pack? :P But honestly, what are everyone's tips for this tourney? Don't forget, it's Luke...

Living in Sale, and concentrating on school, i have actually only ever bowled on kegal oiled lanes once in my life. I'm moving to Melbourne next year for uni, and plan on bowling at a centre with kegal. i was wondering how long it will take to adjust to bowling on kegal every week after bowling...

Anyone know of a good bowling PC game? I've got one from around 1998, but just wondering if anyone knows of any recent ones?

Just wondering who will be making the trip down to Sale for the Junior Country Champs? A lot of people may not have been here for some years, so come down and see what the new owners are doing with the place. I can't bowl for 5 weeks because of a bus accident, but i'll certainly be there to...
