... I just can't seem to manage it. Shot 698 and 692 in the last month, 698 had no open frames but one low count shot (5!), 692 had an open and I couldn't double when I needed to. How do you keep yourself calm and focused when going for that sort of milestone? :o

Aloha, Currently bowl in a league at Salisbury that I like (18x 5 man teams, ~10 guys with 190+ average), but I would like to bowl in a second league. At least doubles, and kinda limited to Salisbury/Village. I guess I could just ring the centers, but I hate talking to random people on the...

Have a few questions. How long has this been going? I'm fairly sure it didn't exist 5-6 years ago when I was a junior, but I could be wrong. Certainly seems like a good way to get younger bowlers used to bowling in 'proper' tournament conditions. What's the turnout like? My brother and I are...

I think I must have been asleep the first 2 games tonight. During practise, I thought my release was off, since my Nemesis was rolling dead straight, and the Goliath was being all weird. It took me until game 3 to wake up and go "oh hell, they're burning up 5cm down the lane, no wonder!" and...

Mr Coachy Man wants me to keep track of what pins I'm leaving, and where the ball is going if I miss. Couldn't be bothered wandering around pro shops trying to find a book with the little pin decks, couldn't find anything useful via Google, so I made one up. Fits 12 games on an A4 page, assuming...

Wheee. Got one of these drilled up to be my benchmark ball. Drilling is similar to 2E on the Brunswick asymmetric core drill sheet: Bowled 20 or so games with it so far: Heavy oil with some carrydown - put it away! Skids all the way along, need to be very accurate and hit the pocket...

Bowled in a tournament this weekend, and would have cashed if my sparing was up to scratch. According to the stats I keep, I've missed 18% of my spares over 66 league games in the last few months... and I missed 25% in the 10 games yesterday. I'm really not happy with either stat, but I don't...

Thanks to Brenton Davy redrilling the damn thing, I finally got to use it this week. I bowl with a fairly high track, mediumish revs, high speed, so I don't move the ball all that much. Ended up getting a Goliath to give me some sort of option on oil. Drilling is similar to 2E on Brunswick's...

I've been back bowling for a few months now, and am holding a 193 average. Only using one ball currently, my maroon Track Stomp, which doesn't seem to do much of anything on heavier oil. I like how it behaves on light-medium oil, so I would prefer not to mess with the surface/etc of it...
