Hey mate, I am not commenting on the service where you are/ you provde. I am simply saying that there are drillers out there who charge $100 and over and they shouldn't be surprised when their customers go elsewhere. I definately don't overrate the drilling service but when the 2 drillers here...

Yes I totally understand your stance, but here's the issue. 90% of bowlers that are buying the high end gear already know all this. They know their PAP, all there prevous balls have been measured for all these things. They don't need to have 20 mins before and after. They want 3 holes drilled, a...

When I started, I didn't know any better and trusted the local centre. I have paid up to $400 for a ball on a few occasions. Through different pro shops run privately, I have bought high performance balls for as little as $250 drilled for a much better drilling service and for layouts that...

Unfortunately they are few and far between. Most centres have a quality driller and can order in what you need but don't have much stock in store. The best place to go by far is www.ballisticrevs.com.au , Michael Wilson (East Melbourne) runs it, he can get anything in roughly a week and is a...

I think there are several factors. First, is alot of the bowlers that used to post like crazy were a lot younger and now have more time consuming jobs/careers and families etc. I think Facebook really killed the forum in general. Can't really do much about that other than keep the content...

Same here. Hence my post last week about it. 5 years ago, there were countless bowlers on here all the time and posting new topics and maintaining good discussion. Now, if you post a good topic. It's the same 8-10 people discussing it.

Agreed, I might go over some stats and numbers over the weekend and start writing a submission for a much more sustainable grant system to help promote our Athletes overseas. Surely we can manage a better contribution than $2000 for travel.

Here's an idea, start a petition of all the top bowlers that both represent the country and that apsire to bowl in Internationally Ranked tournaments. Submit the petition along with supporting documentation on the costs and difficulties of representing Australia and travelling overseas for...

Enjoy!

Found this to be an invaluable read for bowlers of all levels. Spare Adjustment Systems Despite what they say, you really can't make up for missing a spare There are a bunch of spare systems out there. You may choose one of the methods in this segment for right side spares and have a totally...

Comprehensive training programs for individual sports are often “periodized” in order to provide a progressive and time-relevant training program. That is, they are broken up into three or four phases in the year with each phase concentrating on a particular fitness development. For...

No surprises there. Lawrie is all class and a top bloke. There's a reason Hammer has such a heavy presence in QLD.

I felt this deserved a thread on it's own. I have been visiting a few centres in South East Melbourne to find the right centre and as my work takes me out Frankston way a bit I thought I would give them a try. Out of all the centres I visited, the customer service at AMF Frankston was in a...

Truer words have never been spoken.

They were unreal back in the day, AMF Ninja's FTW but they really lost it for a while. I remember the Maximum Velocity and Terminal Velocity era. Oh god, what a shocker. They really lost all their street cred after that. Since the alliance with Global 900, they have really bought out some...

Hey everyone! Got these 2 balls for sale now that I have bought an all new arsenal. The Ebonite Mission actually was owned by Kelly Kulick and has had about 30 games on it at max. Is in good condition but is on 2nd drilling. $80 Shipped or best offer The AMF Heist Pearl is an...

From TBA: However the one significant change to the program is the introduction of 8 pins handicap per game for women in 4 open ranked events. Honeychurch further commented “With a limited number of women’s only tournaments, TBA will trial this system in 2013 and assess its success going...

I am in 2 minds about this. On one hand it will get more female bowlers in Nationally Ranked Tournaments which is of course is a great thing and will increase the amount of entries etc, but I also think this is a bit unfair for the men. To give the ladies an 8 pin advantage is to say they have a...

Brilliant idea. Keep it up, wish I could go. This is a fantastic opportunity for everyone! Let's see more events like this.

Really quite sad how some golfers in one year have made as much as Hall of Famers have in their whole career.

So we have a million topics about why bowling is declining and how to improve the game, promote it more etc. But instead, let's focus on why we come back week after week, year after year. Always looking to improve our game, buy all the best gear available. Let's talk about the positives of...

I have not seen this posted before, which seemed odd. This is a video released by the International Art of Bowling....by our very own Jason Doust. Great video for everyone. Enjoy!

It's interesting, and does draw a crowd. The GEICO Team Challenge often have an outdoor event in there. If you think this is odd. Go watch the Winter Classic in the NHL. They build an open outdoor ice rink and 2 NHL teams play for a trophy once a year. I went last year. Was awesome!

Hey guys, Cheers for that. That is now the plan.
