    Reverse block lane condition ...

    ... what is[are] your strategy[strategies] on playing on this condition?? I find it to be the most difficult to 'get on top of'! Have bowled recently where the reverse block was not placed down on purpose but due to circumstances it is how it played. I have no problem with the condition...

    ... in regards to the formula for the socceroos advancing to the next round?!? :confused: I am hearing consistently that Australia is requiring Germany to absolutely smash Ghana for us to make it through to the next round!! (on goal difference) I may not be a rocket scientist though the...

    Oil volume question.

    Hey all, I am trying to understand oil patterns and graphs and I have a few questions that I am hoping that someone can clear up for me. Apart from asking what Ld, Sp and Cr mean, I'll only ask one other question now, as the answer of it may answer all my other questions. O.k...

    2010 Mens World Championships Selection Policy

    I was just perusing the TBS (typical bowling sites - ;)) and noticed that TBA has released the selection policy for the =96&tx_ttnews[backPid]=1&cHash=4c5c51990c"]2010 Mens World Championships. Thought I'd post here a quick note so that the TB members that are likely to put themselves up...

    For the rule book aficionados ...

    Now to put a spanner in works ... ;) I have a couple of questions for the rule book aficionados. 1) Is it possible too, and if so, on what grounds would it be reasonable to ask to be moved to another block of lanes? As usual the TBA rulebook does not (as I can see) qualify whether it is...

    Dragons sign up new coach for 2009

    Relating to the 'Manly for woodenspoon thread' I'd hate to say it but the Dragons (The team I have supported for my lifetime) might put in a considerable challenge for the wooden spoon. Now that Benny will be coach I wonder if this will help or hinder our cause for next year?? Most teams...

    Let's See Chris Barnes do this!

    On a lighter side, I have managed to do what I thought was impossible - strike and spare in the 'same' shot! My partner bowled a nice ball into the pocket and was unfortunate to have left a 7 pin. I then took my shot on the other lane (LHS). Eventhough it was not as 'pretty' as Tara's I...

    cleaning of equipment during tournaments.

    Just curious if anyone knows the ruling on the cleaning of equipment during a tournament. I have heard : a) NOT ALLOWED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! (had to put this in capitals as they were very adamant). b) It is allowed, though, must be between blocks. c) Only before and after tournament...

    An appropriate drilling / ball

    Hi all, I tend to bowl with only ebonite gear not by stubbornness, just because I know how they roll. The drilling I have (I am told) is conventional ??? dunno. I have also been told I am a full roller (? not sure what that means either ?). I do know that the ball I bowl tends to go down...

    2 - 8 - 10

    Ok! I am a RH bowler, I have played for a few years now - 3rd year back after 11 year break (5th year in total) - I HAVE NOT ONCE SPARED A 2-8-10!!! Anyways I have a fair idea on how to spare almost all leaves - even though I still have trouble on *Cough* some :-) - but for a right hander what...

    oil patterns

    I was looking at an oil pattern diagram the other day and was wondering on how you interpret it (not the color coding part, but “forward oil”, “reverse oil”, “combined oil”). Obviously it refers to where it outputs oil while the machine goes down the lane and back again. But does this really...

    AO Conditions.

    I am starting a new thread as I do not want to hijack the responses and achievement of David in his time. Well done by the way mate! As I did not attend, I am curious on the conditions for the AO (not just lane condition, but environment, atmosphere, successes, failures, pros, cons …)...

    Nerves

    How do bowlers out there cope with nerves?? My longest streak from the front is eight, however, I recently had a good day and found myself on the eighth frame and realising that I have just bowled my seventh strike. I then proceeded to line up my eight shot and suddenly felt as though my...
