Tony, You do make some valid points. I have heard of stories about guys whose swing is around their body, lose weight and then find it hard to bowl..... I also do agree that its about how you feel... But if we do the math, and work out as a majority, I think the numbers would be much more...

Com on Tony, Dont use that lame excuse :) Swing my friend, im a big boy and can handle the 'stick and stones' :) Mate, they players you have mentioned are of course great bowlers, I bet though if you ask them how many events they lost, missed a cut because they were tired? Im kind of fit...

6ft 5.......heavy but solid.... same size as Frawls (just taller) I wouldnt call Frawls heavy.... Belmo

Tony, These non physical bowlers are beating who??? For the last 4 years of bowling around the world, I have seen 1 very heavy person win in a bowling tournament. It was the Boot Hill Sweeper, 45ft long oil sweeper. 5 games. I (FEB 2008) Other than him and that one event...... I have not...

The beep test...... Whilst I am not a fan of the criteria (because of its numerous flaws), the beep test (or any other kind of fitness testing) is one thing I think is important. 5% of the total points you can earn come from this test, to which everyone was not competing against everyone...

Why not?? How is having a roll off or a camp benefitting the best bowlers??? Bowling is a form and result game. Having roll offs or camps only benefits the weaker bowlers....kind of like saying "Well my results over the past 2 years are not that good, but ill just go to the camp and roll dice"...

Mary, Ever heard of Craig Stevens Vs Ian Thorpes position?? Its not a simple as you put it. Swimming it is based purely on speed. Everyone swims in the same pool, with the same water. Noone has a 'good pair' or a lucky break. If you and I swim in a race and you beat me by 3 meters, if...

Chin, Its not quite like that. The effort put into the criteria was 100%, it was just the time they had to put it together plus a few other things made sure the criteria was going to be below par...... Belmo

To the youth team of 2008: You are a very lucky bunch. Dozza and the rest of her team, my hats off to you all. GREAT WORK And to the donators.....we have a adult team going way soon :) seriously though..... stand up and take a bow! Belmo

Regarding some individual posts: When will common sense prevail??? Regarding the criteria: It has so many holes in it and is by far in my opinion a waste of time. Remember that like George said, I am exempt, so all I will have to say on this matter is purely for the benefit of improving...

Wayne, I didnt not have my laptop with me this trip so i could not write about any of the trip....but i have just landed back into Nice and within the next couple of days will write it all on my website (travel diaries). IT WAS RIDUCULAS. You could of changed your 6 count bet to a 3 count...

This was the event i was apart of last week. Its the best fun ever, bowling with sunnies on your head with the sun beaming down. The only problem with it all is that the weather is so unpredictable that you could get rained out (like we did about 4-5 times). Production costs are so high...

Hey, Ok first off, I'm bowling over here because right now Kimberly and I are living in France and well Belgium is just 2 hours away :) 13000 Euro is about $21000, which is another reason im here :) Plus the reason the lanes are SOOO easy (which isnt the 100% reason where the scores...

Terry what does the past 9 years have anything to do with the current CEO??? I, like many people who are members, had lost all faith in the TBA and its CEO (especially becasue i had numerous chats with the guy......) but making such statements about the current TBA is absurd. Gillian has...

Just wondering if you read that before posting?? Mate you are a smart guy, so post smarter comments. To make a statement like that I would hope you have more proof than what you read on this website??? Sometimes i just dont know :s Belmo

I could not of said it better! Belmo

Terry, Thats the whole idea about this..... If you lay a GOLD pattern then the education of 'the lane man' must also be of higher quality. The sport side of bowling is what we are trying to build with this concept. Now i know there are many lane guys out there who know how to lay down what...

How to police it?? That is where the problem is. An idea is simply have a range of ratio's in which the patterns can be assessed. When an honour score is bowled proof that the lane pattern has been assessed (again not sure how, just brain storming) and proof of the ratio of that pattern...

Just a reminder: Bronze, silver and gold does not refer to just league, tournaments and international event.......IT refers to the LANE PATTERN! This will give league bowlers the option of bowling a league in their own house with a pattern of a SILVER or GOLD level! Keep coming in with...

Anyone heard about the AGM?? Who is on the board?? Belmo

To the entire Mills family. A great man who will not be forgotten! Never met a man who gave so much to the sport he loved. He will be truly missed! Jason Belmonte

Jase, Ill call a few guys who may know someone who you are looking for! Belmo

Ok here is my angle with all this! Here me out on this before you make a judgment ok! The reason why i think we do need a level of toughness to be awarded is because unlike every other sport (like golf, tennis, darts, snooker) our hazards are invisible. When you see Tiger hit a hole in 1 thats...

Wish you people in OZ would wake up earlier :) Getting bored talking with myself on the forum :P

Its kind of funny. Back home, on the golf courses we have, there is a hole in 1 board. There are STACKS of H.I.1's but at each course there is always 1 of the par 3's with loads more 'perfect scores' than the other par 3's........wonder if those who achieved their H.I.1 on the easier holes get...
