Thanks all. I somewhat expected that with everything else being the same ( theoretically, Brenton. I appreciate the difficulty / impossibility of doing it practically ), as Robbie says - probably no difference. I rather expected, because it's logical, that if everything else was the same...

Bluey said "I have received PMs from lower ave women that think it's a joke and they disagree with getting the 8 pins. Higher ave women have openly said to me they think it's wrong but will take them if it's there." That rings true and realistic to me. I remember in an earlier thread on this...

Does the structure of a ball produce more or less carry? What I mean is, if say, it was possible to drill four balls, because of their different construction, with four different layouts, so that delivered by someone with a good release, and constant speed, they followed the same line to the...

Oh dear, the most dangerous thoughts in the world, for our future wellbeing, are those which advocate restricting the right to express a view, regardless of it's judged merit or relevance, or popularity, or whatever. Once we accept the idea, for apparently valid reasons, it 'morphs' into banning...

I'm intrigued that in this and other threads, there are those who object to anyone commenting on a forum about an event, or type of event they don't compete in. Using this logic, Greg Norman would be banned from commenting on any aspect of a golf event he didn't play in, Pat Cash in tennis...

Try Motor Sport (at any level ) No restrictions or different rules.

There's nothing the matter with having different ideas about the same matter. Even strong, completely diametrically opposed ideas / views. There is no good, or even acceptable reason to substitute abuse for debate, unless you have ambitions to become a politician. How about we let the pollies...

Rooty Hill RSL Opportunity Seeing the Prime Minister is generating all this publicity for our ex-Nationals venue, how about seeing if she can be got to bowl a few frames with the 'westies' she's out to impress with her 'I'm one of you ' campaign. Definately plenty of publicity. I'm not going to...

How To Promote Bowling.---Good on you John - I knew someone would catch on eventually. Ok, thank you for to our political leaders for going out to Rooty Hill this week. It's is now lunch time of day one and the AMF Bowling sign has been in the back ground of a lot of the interviews. Front and...

OK then: That's easy. When the ball you're using cracks open, you're allowed to use another one! I like that idea.

Lynne, you were the ATBCs best asset. I am disappointed that you don't have all the assistance / support / staff etc, that could lift bowlong to quite high levels. You are certainly capable of it. Jim

Dougy, you're entirely right. It's always been relatively easy with local ( not metropolitan _ TV. ) People just have to make the effort. Back in the mid-nineties I had little segments on local TV ( NBN ) here in Ballina. Had quite a long segment, when we ran a Tournament. Brief, but good...

There have been 7 300s reported here in the last 7 days. Wish people would stop posting them, so that those of us who thought we could bowl in the early 60s ( if there are any more of you left bowling ) wouldn't feel so inferior.:p PS I wouldn't mind one. In the unlikely event it ever...

Mistagear - I would be VERY surprised if " Elsie " from Tba didn't do releases to all media.... In my opinion she has all the right contacts - and uses them well! Elsie - where are you ? Tell us what happened.

Seeing the Prime Minister is generating all this publicity for our ex-Nationals venue, how about seeing if she can be got to bowl a few frames with the 'westies' she's out to impress with her 'I'm one of you ' campaign. Definately plenty of publicity. I'm not going to commit myself if it's good...

In another post, I've already confessed to being completely clueless about reading and coping with differing lane conditions, and ball selection, so my questions are pretty basic. What constitutes " a very easy condition for years"? Before you could create multiple conditions at will, that is...

Robbie B said:- Unfortunately on patterns like this, equipment selection, layout and surface become incredibly important keys to keeping the ball in play, and to be honest a lot of the seniors in my experience are pretty clueless about these facets of the modern game. How true - How true. I...

Southern Cross Bowl. Bowled a Doubles 24Hr. Marathon there in 1963. Was total pinfall in 24 hrs. Could have both bowling, or just one bowling ( which sacrificed pinfall ) Always had to have one bowling or team disqualified. I knew there had to be some reason that I get tired feet very easily...

I demand to know where you got my scoresheet. Have you no respect for privacy laws??

Goodness Dougy, look at the can of worms you've opened now. Everyone seems to have missed this ---- "Integral to the appraisal is the AUSTRALIAN MASTERS which attracts some of the world’s top international bowlers. As part of the WTBA World Bowling Tour, and with a minimum prize purse of...

For those not old enough to know, Lee Trevino was a top class golfer, and he was renouned for non-stop talking during the game. His opponent on this particular day, wanted not to be distracted from his game, and before they teed off, said to Lee, 'Lee, I don't want to talk to-day." To which...

Thanks Michael, thanks very much. That's the sort of response I was seeking. Don't know why everyone else was so 'prickly'.
