Not sure if this is the right place to ask but since the scout is a dry lane ball. What can i do to make it better for wet conditions? I've heard they can be scratched up with abit of scotch brite but i'm not sure how to go about doing that!! I dont want to wreck the ball!!!

This is good news!!! I used to love the lunch time brakes during the cricket stoped me from flicking channels :-)

I've found my scout to be very poor for hooking The only time I can get it to hook is on a medium oil going coast to coast with my thumb out on a wet lane forget it it just slips straight off the lane no grip at all however if i bowl striaght and slow using hand shake it seems to...

This may not help you, but because i dont have much arm or wrist strength I do not put my thumb in the ball when hooking I simply cup the ball on my approach and then very quicky (depending on the revs i want) flick my hand from 6 o'clock to 3 o'clock (9 o'clock if your a lefty) and still using...

Yeah Box Hill is gone :-( RIP big PIN in the sky.

after living in the area for the first 22 years of my life I can tell you parking has always been a problem in box hill in general not just at the bowl. the box hill bowl was one of the only car parks left in the shopping area that was still free for a long time therefor was abused for that...

If it's oil you guys want just come down to boronia you'll need a sponge and a bucket of de greaser thou :P

I still cant understand why both box hill and ringwood closed it's not like ringwood was close to any of the other centers oh damn it's too late to edit out the blowing hehehe :p

i'm not sure what I'm am currently i love to make the ball spin real fast by entering from left to let is spin over to the edge of the right and then hook back to the left back in to the the pins I can only do this however with my thumb out of the ball i just can't seem to get the speed and...

Is it just me or is in near impossible to walk in to a blowing center now and get a lane at short notice most most of the lanes seem to be booked out to leagues. good on the centers for drumming up so much bussiness for them selves but what about the poor league bowler that want to get some...

well I got the ball tonight and as expected I had problems with my thumb back in the ball I just could not get it to rotate the way i wanted it to i'll need to show someone what i'm trying to acheive. Once i got the hang of the ball and thoes evil ed flemming lanes I hit 5 strikes with my...

yeah just played a there ED tonight with my new reactive ball i bought from there very different from boriona lanes I must say

no one got some advice for me ?

LOL as I stated in my OP i'm not looking for a new center realy I just wanted Box Hill because it was across the road from TAFE I work in Chirnside Park leave at 4 pm travel down whitehorse road to box hill to start class at 6 pm I dont realy wanna detour from Whitehorse Rd during peak...

LOL well now i'm convined that i'm ducking a weaving bullets from all around by moonlighting at different centers :P

LOL well i've noticed some bowl certer rivalness down at boroina but thats just stupidity. Are we trying to lift the popularity of the sport or not? I bet the mamagers down at forest hill would not be happy to hear that I'm more of a novice, "just for fun bowler" so i'm not bias to any one...

i'm getting a scout reactive this week i've been trying to spin/hook my first and current plastic ball and because it was drilled for straigh bowling i've had to have my thumb out of the ball in order to spin/hook it my average seems to have gone from around 130's as a straight bowler to...

yeah theres a guy in my legue that does that and sometimes under his leg it's a good distraction for him if hes loosing the match I know it puts me off my game

thats a shame RIP box hill yeah normal league is at boronia just hoping to squeese in some pratice in before school boronia is out of my way on a week day with ringwood gone as well I might go and try out ED flemming on another night as it's nice and close now since I moved a month ago...

lol why Asid when you can just look at spirals.

As a new full time bowler i was dissapointed to find out that box hill was closed i'm currently in my second season at boronia. I used to live in the box hill area and currently going to night school at the tafe so when i wandered across form the nelson campus, bowling ball and all I was...

Just orderd my first reactive ball down at ed yesterday lucky for me i live and work in mooroolbark I was very happy with the service and the honest advice. Being a novice hook bowler I was told to buy one of the cheeper balls to start off with until I found my form so i'm getting a Scout...
