Our PSO has announced it a few times and said he will do it for cost for all of his customers. I have never had a balance hole so nothing to do for me

I feel bad for the pro shops that will be inundated with people expecting next day service on plugged balance/weight holes. Bowlers have had 2 years...

There was an announcement last week at the start of doubles league that weight holes need to be plugged by August 1. The announcement was prefaced...

I actually bowl in the "big money" scratch league at my center and am quite shocked at the general ignorance for rules. There was only one time last...

If you are bowling in any "big money" leagues, I wouldn't bet that no-one is going to be watching if I were you.

Taking a finger out of the ball for spares is a very common tactic used in this area. When the new rules go into effect on August 1st this year, it...

Given what RobM said about the ring finger imparting forward roll on the ball it would make sense that leaving the middle finger out would lead to...

Walter Ray Williams said when he first came on the tour he hooked the ball a lot, When he realized spares were important. He started copying Gary...

No and yes. LOL

I remember at some point watching the PBA back when it was on ABC hearing Nelson Burton Jr comment that Walter Ray Williams Jr only had his thumb and...

I read John Jowdy's article on hand positions, too, just the other day. I purchased his last book a few years ago and it took me a long time to...

In terms of your finger positions, and more importantly, you fingers during the release, remember that it's the ring finger the puts forward roll on...

Ok. I read Susie Minshew's two articles on hand positions. Looking at the pictures #1 is a 90 degree position which I doubt I've ever used (only by...

You make a great point, thick skulls. I've been fighting with throwing a spinner much of the time. Also, I think I was allowing the ball to drop off...

Don't bother looking up my article on hand positions. I never wrote one! These are new discoveries for me, and all you need to know for you is...

Not only do I lug all those balls around, I keep all my equipment in the beloved basement. So I carry them up the stairs and out to the garage to the...

Make sure that you try different hand positions with an eye toward creating different reactions. After all the years that I wrote articles about...

I picked up the Cherry-Black Tropical Surge ball a couple weeks ago. Smells nice. Shiny, beautiful ball and fits like a glove. Haven't bowled in...

Mixed Nuts 7/9/20 193, 133, 187 This is the problem with bowling in a social league, when your concentration goes on vacation it can take most...

Weekly Wednesday sport/PBA shot tournament. I was introduced to Shark this week. If I never meet this bastard again, it'll be too soon. ...

Okay I think I'll close this thread, We need to get back to bowling discussions and not debating mask wearing.

It is very difficult to enjoy league bowling these days. My bowling center does not require masks, has made weak attempts to socially distance...

Neither of you guys offended me. Some people, like me, just really don't like to argue or have conflict. I'm sorry I started something... I really...

J Daisy: I apologize if I hurt your feelings. Please allow me to explain. I am a 71-year-old with asthma, diabetes, a stent in my heart, and...

With respect to the mask posts, I wouldn't consider any of the posts personal attacks. It was more of a point-counterpoint discussion. No one was...

Nice going with the clean second game. Most of the time I like the pressure too, although it is nice to get on the approach in the tenth frame...

Thanks Boatman. I noticed that you vanished, and thought that may have been why, but I wasn't sure. It stinks that often even the non-bowling posts...

Got there early and threw a practice game with the new Glam and threw the Squatch a few times in the middle for comparison. The Glam seemed a little...

Yep. And that is why I quit posting here. Been attacked too many times. Not agreeing or disagreeing with your view but confirming your thoughts on...

Buddies Doubles 7/7/20 Set A: 161, 156 Set B: 166, 224 Wrong ball choice the first set, plus lousy spare shooting. Spares were still off in...
