    Highest league average in Australia

    I'm just interested to know what the highest league average is in Australia? You may ask why and here is my reason... With all the talk of centres here in Australia being easy to score on and commonly referred to as "Ditches", surely this would be reflected in bowling averages. I know of a...

    What were the good old days?

    I hear a lot of the older bowlers talking about the good old days... How bowling was better and how the evolution of bowling through the late 90's and the naughties has seen a dramatic decrease in numbers. So my question's are... What were the good old days? How is it different to today...

    Leaving corner pins

    I guess this could be said for both left and right handers but what is the best way to carry the corners. I ask this only because after bowling a centre run tourny on the weekend I was leaving a heap of corner pins (7 pins) Mind you I was not alone in this as almost everyone across the board...

    Keeping your hand behind the ball.

    Hi All, Having recently just getting a camcorder I set about recording my action... Well to say it was an eye opener was an understatement. I never realised how far around the side of the ball I was as well as on top of it. So during my next practice session I set out with the aim of getting...

    Relaxing of thumb

    It has been bandied around the forum in a few other threads about the dwindling numbers of people bowling and the reasons for this. There does seem to be a lot of criticism of the prices to bowl outside of league but the question i'm going to pose is how do we address it. One idea... which...
