    New-ish

    Hey Josh, I did the same thing last year. hadn't bowled for about 12 years and last bowled competitively in teenage years. I ended up with a Track Uprising which i quite like (you mentioned you liked track...). I'm still trying to figure out what style I want to bowl so consistency is out the...

    Event 1 for 2009: AMF Village

    Please add the name Douglas Stirling to the list. Haven't bowled in a tourney for a looooooong time, so this should be interesting! Is there anything I should be aware of? And how do I pay?

    Do you use On-line Back up?

    with the cheap price of 1Tb external hard drives, I'd be inclined to save my bandwidth and backup with one of these. any really important stuff could be put online as a third means of storage, but it's not really practical to backup entire systems online.

    Your statement reveals your own anti-American attitude and your ability to leap to rapid conclusions based on little evidence.

    Hey all ... I want to get GOOD.

    15-16 lbs is a good place to end up, but not necessarily to start. 14lbs seems to be the minimum to get the most out of the reactives, but it might take you a few months to get a decent action with one of these balls anyway. the lighter balls would be good to get your muscles used to moving the...

    Matthew Bernhardt 300 & Cross Road (29/09/2009)

    Well done! I only saw ur sister keep up with you for the first 5 I think, and then Louise was with you up to 6, but I left after that. Should've hung around a bit longer! Brenton Manning bowled the first 8 then came up a bit light in the 9th and then struck out for 279 in Vili's and I figured...

    What to do when the fire is out?

    I've been effectively out for 12 years, having returned in the last 3 months. My how things have changed! A 200 average is nothing these days, and a 220 average isn't much more. No one in the juniors had a 200 average except longayroux, and a 700 series was one hell of an achievement. Back when...

    strike names, beyond 3 being a turkey

    IMHO it should be: strike double turkey 4 bagger or in a row (no way am I calling it a hambone!) 5 bagger or in a row 6 pack 7 bagger or in-a-row and so-on wouldn't mind double or triple turkey for 6 or 9, perhaps even cubic turkey for 9 (but maybe that's getting too nerdy!)

    A video for the old timers

    After that clip plays through, there's a link to paeng in 2008 (or 2007, wasn't looking that closely). His delivery is damn near identical, but the ball moves a bit differently these days ;) Ian's style is as consistent as ever, but what a direct line he was shooting! Nice find :)

    Going Back to Bowling

    Must be the season for it. I last bowled in a tournament 11 years ago and then nothing except one league season 7 years ago. Starting two leagues next week, and can't wait until I get my Up Rising mid-July. See you all on the lanes soon :D
