Centres don't make money out of serious bowlers. They make money out of schools, kids parties, social players, drunken work functions. This is why they don't give a stuff about coaching or looking after the regular bowler. Sad but true and unfortunately is half the reason bowling is like it is...

That's only $240 a year to watch local bowling tournaments... SCORE!!! :confused:

I think some people are missing the point that some people are making here. Not everyone has the obsession of bowling league, tournaments then going home and watching bowling. Some people just come here to keep up with news and see what gear is out. Not everyone wants to know every intricate...

My average when up about 30 pins when I learnt this! Takes a while to get used to but once you do, you don't have to think about it. It just happens.

Maybe give someone a chance this time Benny!

Thanks for the great read Steve!

It doesn't bother me if a centre is a ditch or not. Quite frankly I've never really bowled on a ditch for league. All the centres I've bowled over the years have been "fair" or low scoring. I currently bowl in a centre where members of the state team and people who have represented Australia...

Lolz Caboolture, I remember there was a period for a few months a couple of years back when every few days there was a 300 there. Combination of a ditch and a huge cash league. Anybody who was anybody bowled in that league. Pretty much every top bowler in Brisbane bowled that 5 man league.

Really? Most singles leagues I've bowled have all been 4 games. In several Brisbane centres and in the NT.

To those that are commenting about it doesn't matter how you get to the line or style, it's the score that counts. I think thats the issue thart a few are getting at. If you are bowling 36 strikes in a row. Which is ultimate perfection. The only people that should be able to do this are...

Don't you tee from the red Androooo?

Um...correct me if I am wrong but didn't Trotts throw 890' thing...

Androo, Just had a closer look at the score board at the end of that video First Screen 247 246 234 243 276 Second Screen 300 204 206 237 236 Yet with all those games, only 2 bowlers managed to spare 100% excluding the 300. Interesting. Isn't it.

Ever bowled on a THS in the States Roysa? I went to the States for 9 months. In the first month, I broke my highest series by almost 100 pins. My average was 25 or so pins higher while I was there. I bowled more high games in 9 months than I had in 5 years.

At the end of the day, Jimmy is just doing what we can with the gear that's on offer and the lane conditions that are on offer. I completely agree with Steve though, as usual. 15 or so years ago when I was starting and bowled in a centre that had a "fair condition", a 300 was bowled every 4 or...

Thanks guys. I might look at a night at Chadstone and a night at Mentone. Thanks for the help.

Are you going to add some substance to the converation? Or just troll and run your mouth off like usual?

Thanks Terry, I am looking at Singles leagues predominatly, preferably Scratch. I will have a look on the AMF site. Cheers!

Hey Folks, My tyranny in the NT ends. I am moving to Melbourne in July and of course after bowling in a dive for the past 4 years I want to join a good centre. At the moment, we are looking to move to Chadstone? I know there are a few centres around. Which do you recommend? What's AMF...

Jonesy, empty your inbox. And I'll buy the Mission $250k. Which is rather ironic, seeming I sold it to you.

Robbys Revs II glove gone!

Changed to free postage on all items except the 3 Ball Roller

Most of those bowlers are barely out of the Youth Teams. It gives a very positive outlook of all these bowlers futures when they are making the Adult National teams at such a young age. So Bec...how much are you paying TBA? ;)

There are some bowlers out there who were born to throw a ball, there are some bowlers who didn't always have that natural ability but have put years and years of practice and money into getting the right gear, knowledge and coaching to achieve the top level. When I think of the second tier of...
