2000 for me Won Aust Masters, SA Cup and Perth Cup High average in Rachuig Won male rankings

So did a fairly handy bowler named Carmen Salvino...

USBC Rule 4a States the delivery occurs when the ball, and I quote, "leaves the player's possession and crosses the foul line into playing territory"

Of course I knew about it, but, like most, I refused to acknowledge it. However, I have come to the realization that, well..... I'm screwed! LOL. Fortunately, I still usually manage to stay one up on him, but I have all the excuses at the ready when the day comes that I get officially...

They are taken from the centre of the (and here is the key word) GRIP. If you are only gripping with the fingers, then the centre of the GRIP is the centre line between the 2 outside edges of the gripping holes where it intersects the midpoint between the further most upper and lower points of...

Update No. ????????? + 1 Well it finally happened! THe lad just shot his 1st 300 at the traditionally tough AMF Noarlunga during the Ted Monk Junior Intercentre. Had to do it the hard way too. Swinging a DV8 Misfit on lane 7 and pointing a DV8 Endless Nightmare on lane 8. went with 232 and...

USBC tried to legislate that a few years ago. Problem was the manufacturers were unable to guarantee the accuracy of their marking of the CG to a degree that it could render some balls statically illegal, especially those with heavier top weight. I also believe that that legislation would have...

I would suggest so, if the rule is to take effect FROM 1st August. It will be interesting to see whether TBA follows suit. AS far as bowling specs and drillings, they always have.

Wow, that's a back to the future moment by the USBC. THey tried a similar thing in the 80's with the "System of Bowling" and we all know how THAT turned out.

Pardon? In my experience (over 35 years of tournament bowling) the lanes have, in 98% of cases, hooked earlier and earlier as the tournaments have progressed. You must bowl in some very strange houses if the lanes change as you have described.

They were. That much we can agree on

Yes Sue, I understand you have had some major mechanical issues there outside your control. If what I have heard is correct, it must be very stressful there and updating scores must be the last thing you feel like doing. I, for one appreciate you updating the scores when you do.

WE never had "that crap". We bowled on ditches for almost as long as I can remember. As I said, .... Ahh screw it! I'm never going to convince you or the vast majority of seniors. I don't know why I bother trying.

IN relation to learning how to play tough patterns, sadly yes the majority are because they don't want to learn how. Surely you can't argue that

Bur that would mean the majority of bowlers actually practising, getting their equipment set up properly and just generally thinking about the game. I think it's too late for most of the adults, the focus has to be on the juniors and youth who are more conditioned to bowling on tougher...

Because the majority won't take the concrete pill...

THanks Sue

With all due respect Peter, isn't it enough that the TBA have caved in to all the whingers and given them a ditch to bowl the nationals and Rachuig on without making the Masters a carry fest as well? Surely the Masters should be on a tough pattern to make the victory an earned one.

Ash Riley might be a good match. Easy to promote too - Australian Masters Champion v US Masters Champion. Pretty much promotes itself

PLease add Steven Doecke (SA) to c Squad and Re-entries in Squads 3 and 4. Thanks

Which part of Oz do you hail from? I am in Adelaide and I have one. pM me if I can help

Roysa, Think of it as a tennis draw. 16 reduces to 8 after round 1, 8 reduces to 4 after quarter finals 4 reduces to 2 after semi finals 2 play off in the final It also scores like a tennis match. In the shortest format (1st to 2 pts = 1 game, 1st to 2 games = 1 set, 1st to 2 sets wins...

Given that it was the sponsors product, it was a perfect segue for him to thank the main sponsor. Would I have done it? No, but I have no problem with it. PBA probably put him up to it anyway.

Whether you are in favour of ditches or not, I don't think this is the thread in which to debate the subject. My feelings on the subject are well known so I won't expand on them here. Maybe we need a "Ditch vs Sport condition" Forum.
