Like i said in my first post.....im not sure who determines the level of the oil pattern. Maybe we need to go back to the days where the lanes are tested for those bowling centres who oil the lanes like that!!!! 9 times out of 10 the bowler and the centre will know what pattern is on the lane...

Hey i was just thinking to myself while im enjoying life in Nice, France :) There is a lot a chat about what a 300 is worth.....here could be a good idea! What would a Gold Level/Silver Level/Bronze level lane pattern events or comps sound like. Let me explain! Example: Monday night...

Something we are all forgetting. in 1950 how many people threw the ball the way we do now??? Bowling a 300 is occurring more frequent these days, no one can deny that fact. But 'these days' people are bowling with more power than ever. I can guarantee you that if we all threw the ball up 15...

The word Strike was trade marked by the owner of STRIKE BOWL's. NOT AMF! As for the bowling centre: I would love to comment but due to the people running/owning it, people on here may feel i have a bias say in the matter! All i can say is I cant wait to use the CATS lanes!!! Jason

Mate i think you will find Dad doesnt take ANY money out. All money paid by the bowlers, plus sponsors Dad gives it all back! He is a special guy!!!! Jason

Mummy Porto: I have expressed the same feeling that you have to Gillian and she did give me a good response. Basically the rankings winners will give the bowler a 30% head start on the field. Over a weekend of bowling the best will come through. If it was just a 6 game block then i think it...

Mate i think your missing the point. Fit and agile body, gives you a fit agile mind. Ill be the first person to say that at my heaviest i weighed 96kgs. I now weigh 86kg and im bowling better than ever. I dont get tired as fast and my mind stays focussed for longer......which is the most...

Gillian and the board: Something I have come to realize is that the current CEO and attitude of the board towards bowlings current members and future members is a breath of fresh air. I have spoken to Gillian today and asked a few questions about current matters and future matters of where TBA...

Sorry your right...Keep forgetting im getting older too, like everyone else :) Ill rephrase How can THEY allow other people get a free ride and THEY have to pay full!!! Belmo

Race 9 this Saturday, Randwick, horse 6 Paying 100/1.......Its a sure thing....trust me :) Belmo

Someone please give this guy something to do during the day!!!! What the hell?? Every lane pattern in the world never plays like the 'print out'. Depending on who bowls on the lanes, where everybody bowls on the lane, what kind of balls everyone used, the weather, the air con, the oil...

Leanne, Its not often ill defend Matt :) but your missing the point! How can you allow your son/daughter to pay full price and let support staff go for free?? $6000 for a once of fee is high but can be found, your right.....but what if your kids make both teams....youth and Adult...

Jess, I think your missing the point here. Noone is denying how much work and effort coaches put into bowling on a day to day basis, what we are arguing about is what do they do for the FIQ team that is worth a free ride?? The bowler spend money, time and effort to compete and practice all...

Completely understand! What i dont understand is the coaches/managers get flight, accom, and meals paid for but the athletes are to pay full price??? I have given our CEO a idea about a fair way to split the costs, but i guess she didnt like it. Without the players their would be no...

Frawls: How much of the World Championship prize money did you give belmo, after all he is the one who convinced you to the bowl.... Wait a minute i know the answer to that already :) Belmo

Whilst i like the idea of not stacking teams, i think that its very important that we dont make it impossible to have a good team. If this was a fantasy thing then i would not care how strict the rules were but bowlers want to be apart of a team they want to be in. Asking 1 lady, 1 youth and 1...

Just a thought!!! I would be happy to limit the Aus Rep only to the Men's Adult team! For the first year! Perhaps a rule may need to be introduced that if you have been on the mens national team in the last 3 years??? Ideas?? Belmo ps- The only way this gets off the ground is if we the...

I love it!!!!!!! the fact that anyone can own a team, make a bit of money out of it and create atmosphere and talk.......... Well sounds like a good idea to me. The way i look at it (this is something i told jase when he asked me about this) If you own your own business, tell me where...

At the end of the day, i just want people to compare a 2 handed not against other 2 handed bowlers, but against all bowlers. As a bowler i dont want to be labelled just as a 2 hander but as a 'bowler'. Like 1 handers, no 2 handers look or throw the ball alike. Belmo

I prefer them dry! The weaker the ball i can use, the better i bowl. Ask the Asian's what they think of my plastic ball :) Belmo

I just thought of something: There are how many 1 handed bowlers in the world?? How many 1 handed bowlers win as a percentage?? Now how many 2 handed bowlers in the world??? How many 2 handed bowlers win?? There are 4 two handed bowlers in the world that bowl at the highest level, 2 of them...

great job Kirstie..... These are the kind of things that make bowling in this country more attractive. Its the little things that make bowlers come back the following years.. Belmo

How many 50/60 year olds do you see throw the ball the way they did in their younger days with 1 hand??? Matty: Action bowling is something missing from australian bowling. Bowling for a couple hundred is incredible. I was lucky enough to be apart of some action bowling in NEW YORK...

My take on all of this. The USBC have asked me to help with the 'understanding' of 2 handed bowling. Many kids in the US are being turned away from their coaches because they can't coach 2 handed, or so they say.....what a crock! 2 handed bowling is 10 times easier to coach, you just need to...

Considered the hardest tournament in the world to win. It certainly lived up to its reputation. Walshy and I stayed at one of our good friends houses Bill O'neil's. Bill is of the PBA exempt players and not only did he look after us, he explained how the PBA works and what the good points are...
