    A gripe or two about bowling

    Again Wayne the answer is all about the equipment available today that allows people who have been bowling for 5 minutes, you know what i mean, to average 200 In doing so they can't spare but can string 6 or 7 strikes Not many people today learn the basic skills of the game before they...

    Discuss: How much skill and luck are involved in bowling a 300?

    Interesting topic , Im surprised John Velo didnt put it up !! Early days was different to today, Full stop.... Today the ball and lane conditions do sooooo much for the bowler it makes way too easy to shoot 300 games, NOT perfect games !!! We used to say, In the old days, the perfect...

    How Far Do You DRIFT on approach

    The interesting thing is that when I learnt to bowl we were taught to walk straight, 20 to 20 board for instance to ensure we were accurate Therefore we looked at drift as error IE: start on 20 finish on 23 when we wanted to finish on 20 = 3 board drift Also as Cow and Jason have said it is...

    Christian Purdue 300 at SBT 4 NSW 2011

    I was lucky enough to be the coach sitting on those lanes on sunday. There is a big difference between a 300 game and a perfect game. I have seen many, many 300 games bowled, This one was the closest I have seen to perfect, 8th frame missed right by 1 board every other shot hit both taped...

    Wrist devices, fair or unfair advantage?

    Good points made by many people The thing to remember is a straight line is a straight line nomatter what Centre you go too, therefore corner pins are no issue for those who bowl straight at it with a plastic As Cow clearly stated when travelling OS and even here now on certain...

    Are the days of bowling down 5 board slipping away?

    Interesting topic For me, as a young bowler some many. many moons ago , I used to only ever Bowl 5 board or even wider but as lanes and balls an oiling patterns changed It became way too hard to be out there, Even for me as a Lefty. After 3 - 6 shots it was gone So as Michael rightly says...

    Wrist devices, fair or unfair advantage?

    John, No doubt about you mate !!! I have always been a person, bowler, who dislikes wrist gaurds, The "robo cop" type and or the "solid index finger" ones, that "value add" to the shot. I think they allow the bowler to do things with bowling balls they could not otherwise do on their own...

    New addition to the rule book

    Hi Jason As usual you make some good observations and points The intention is quite clear, I think, with the new rule. It is to not have bowlers with earjacks in their ears listening to whatever when they are bowling Your other point on Wrist gaurds is a beauty !!! In my younger...

    New addition to the rule book

    As I see it The issue is more about people walking around with headphones / earphones on listening to music whilst bowling
