I don't think there are many centres that even turn them on. I remember about 5 years ago. A bowler told me I was just going over the line every shot. i had no idea, the foul lines were never on for me to know. Needless to say I rectified that little issue.

I honestly think its more of an image rule change and to stop people whinging and emailing tba about people using ipods while playing as opposed to performance enhancing. Quite honestly I am surprised wrist guards are allowed in competition. Each to their own. I can't remember where it...

Thanks guys for the opinions. I have a new ball arriving in a week or so. I will try a less aggressive layout and see how things go.

I do enjoy the straight down 5 board line, gives me alot more accuracy. With todays gear, (though I do have quite an angular release) I find it harder and harder to roll straight down 5. Moreso see myself rolling 10 to 5 or even 15- 5. I am learning to roll with more forward motion to...

Fantastic to hear Trotts. I hear alot of good reviews from the US. I just ordered a $250k Mission from Brando. They have had a huge response from the Us.

Hey folks, Bit of a game change so I have a list of balls for sale. 15lb Brunswick Karma $80 Shipped anywhere in Oz 15lb Storm Big Hit $40 Shipped 15lb Red Plastic $40 Shipped 15lb Brunswick Monster Slayr $80 Shipped Would do a trade for a 15lb medium oil ball of almost any brand.

Hi Cow, I understand your opinion totally. Half the issue was the centre was extremely busy with little staff and lots of lanes problems so I waited till the end to say anything. At the end of the day, I only paid for my league bowling and spoke to the manager today and said why I didn't pay.

Fair points, yes my scores counted for league but I wasn't very fussed as it is a social league. As far as the scores, my scores werent so bad that i wouldn't qualify as there are not alot of competitive bowlers up here. It is more the fact that the whole night should have cost $65 to bowl...

I just had a quite unpleasant evening at league tonight. NT State Championships are coming up and we need to nominate 3 games to use a qualifying. I picked tonight which is fine. It costs $38 on top on league fees of $25 to nominate. Bit steep but ok. I started practicing and the odd lane...

I am caught halfway between. Without doubt, I prefer to bowl in dress shorts. I always do for league. But I think that for major tournaments we should maintain a professional image. Maybe, long pants for Ranked tournaments and neat dress shorts for any other tournaments.\ I am much more...

I am in the same boat at you Spicko, hell....I even recieved a ball I wanted before I paid for it. That was 4 years ago though.

I think the most common answer would be....so you know what scores you are chasing. Some like to set the pace, some like to chase it. I prefer the early squads.

Good Luck Tim. That was one killer ball. I loved mine...which also cracked unfortunately.

I would honestly say that Storm is the definate leader. Though I prefer Brunswick, I feel that Storm is by far the most popular and most used wherever you go. Quite honestly I think there is probably 10% difference between all the brands and 90% of it comes down to whether a bowler thinks...

Unfortunately, you are not alone and won't be the last. My first 300 I got a trophy from my league and the regular amf stuff but according to tenpin.org.au it never happened. I sent an email but no reply. Maybe so many 300s get bowled these days its not seen as an achievement anymire

Congrats Ash, I actually thought he had already thrown a few 300's. great bowler to watch.

Since being back I have made big changes in how i do everything to do with bowling. One thing I failed at years ago. Was practicing. I used to go and just bowl a bunch of games. Not having actual aims and goals for training. My accuracy is better now than it has ever been before. I have...

Wes Malott for sure! Would be good to see some more Roto staff on the tour. *pokes Micky Little*

Thanks Jase, I am cycling at the moment. Just doing some endurance based weight programs and running. Roysa, I am strengthening my whole body as a whole, but mostly doing this to stay fit and improve on endurance. Perfect example is I bowled in a tourny on the weekend. First day I finished...

I thought I might resurrect this thread after a little encounter on the weekend. I used to put as much revs on the ball that I could possibly do, after taking a long break I changed to a stroker and have had a much more consistent shot, better scores. I don't throw as many big games as I used...

1. The incident is over...lets all get over it. 2. Sean Rash and Belmo are professionals and phenomenal bowlers and 95% of bowlers are going to forget everything and treat them as such. I will treat both of them as superior athletes in this sport and will be honoured to bowl in a tournament...

Wowsers, he sure has ruffled a few feathers.

That would be fantastic. If anyone wants to see the true calibre of the Bohn Zone. Youtube Wes Malott 300 King of Bowling. Wes throws a 300 against him and in the last frame is just constantly making jokes about hailing the king and trying to get close to him to catch some mojo. Very...

We have had least favorite bowler of all time. How about most favorite. Would like some opinions on the following. Favorite bowler to watch? Bowler you aspire to be like? Bowler whose style/technique you try to work towards? For me, all 3 categories my vote goes to Parker Bohn III...

I don't often see it that much in high level competition. I see it as a team motivation/companionship gesture for league bowlers. You don't ever see high 5's in the PBA. EXCEPT! In the Geico Team Shootout, which is teams. I bowl in a semi social league as I find the scratch league here quite...
