Did anyone with Xtra Frame watch the Lincoln PWBA stepladder finals?

I watched the archived stepladder finals and Kelly Kulick's thumb insert (VISE I think) came out of her spare ball when she threw it at a 10-pin in the 6th frame. She had 5 strikes in a row going into the 6th when she left a pocket 10-pin. On her spare shot the ball went in the right gutter and the insert went in the left gutter.

Not sure what happened next because I couldn't quite hear the audio where I was watching it (loud background) but at first I thought she was forced to use a different ball...but then realized it was her spare ball where the insert came out...not her strike ball. She came in very light on the next shot...I think she left the left side bucket...so at first I thought it was because they made her switch balls. But then a guy brought over her spare ball...probably repaired...and I think she was able to use it for the remainder of the match.

But after that...she was never the same. She ended up losing the match (after starting out with a 5-bagger) despite looking nearly unstoppable until that moment.

Maybe I should convert from a Diana Z fan to a K2 fan. :confused: I mean, Diana Z is just too young and too hot and too far "out of my league". But, K2...she's almost the same age as me...and she works in her dad's auto body shop for crying out loud....which is a huge plus having someone in the family that can repair a car. That saves ya a ton of money. Plus, I think she's the only pro bowler to pose semi-nude...didn't really show anything...but hey, props for having the nerve to do that!! I'll have to think on it. :confused: I was thinking Liz Johnson was the only woman in the PWBA close enough to my age to realistically be dateable...but I think someone here claimed she was a lesbian....which is cool by me...but further hampers my chances.

Oh well...I'll have to work out the dating strategy...I just thought I'd post about the insert coming out because honestly that's the first time I've ever seen an insert come out and it just so happened to be during a PWBA event which was kinda interesting...especially how it kinda messed up Kelly's rhythm.

Anyone else ever have an insert come out while bowling? Did it mess with you on subsequent shots?

A teammate of mine had a fingertip insert come out after throwing a ball. Never found the insert.....

It's funny you post this at this time....

Last Friday morning, my IT thumb insert came out of the ball on my first throw. It went all the way down the lane and into the left gutter and stopped about 8 feet in front of the sweep. It does do a number on your thumb, so I can see where it may have hampered her game. There may have been some damage and maybe she just didn't feel comfortable it wouldn't happen again. Mine was not damaged so I can only believe that somehow it came unlocked or something, because I inserted it again and kept on bowling. But like I said, it did not feel good on my thumb and luckily we were in our third game.

Just a thought, if you've somehow restricted the dating pool to Pro women's tour bowlers, "you might need a new strategy" is the understatement of the year.

Ok, good luck with that ! Maybe Ice can give you some strategic advice , I'm sure if you were to ask him, the women love him ! Maybe he would offer to introduce you to some of the women that are too young for him.....

Knock on wood I haven't had any issues with any removable thumb grips (switch grip or IT). That being said I could definitely see how that would screw with your mindset after it occurred.

I just caught the video of KK's Interchangeable Thumb come out.

When they gave the thumb piece back to KK, it had connected to it the part that is supposed to be glued into the ball.

Hey, my dating pool is "any reasonably attractive, nice female in my general age range that I can work up the nerve to ask out."


>_> It's very restrictive. I may as well make it Pro women's tour bowlers!

A friend of mine recently married, and his wife loves to go bowling, lucky dog. He's just indifferent to it, probably more interested in the beer than the bowling itself

I read that,,,and I think, "there's like a 4% chance she's hot..."

But, I'm in a dating funk right now so thats probably just the jadedness talking.

Ahh...the nuclear option. I don't know if I'm there yet. Thats like escaping Amish country and not being able to find a steady job so you start to think maybe you'll just move back home and be miserable.

You're just noticing? There are some real good looking young ladies making there way to the pro ranks too. The future of women's pro bowling is looking real good.

Hell yeah. Unfortunately that weird lookin dude scooped her up years ago. But yes....she actually used to be on top of my "PWBA Hot List"...but then she got married, I think she had a kid, and of course then DianaZ shows up so the bar got raised pretty high. But I'd still say McEwen, Galante, DÉrricho, and O'Keefe are...probably in the top 5. I'll have to go on the website and look. I know when I was watching the tour I'd sometime see someone and think, "Whoa...who is THAT??" And then I try to find out info on them and it's impossible to find. Because the tour is so new...many of those newer ladies aren't really "out there" in the public spotlight. And unfortunately (for us old dudes)....many, many of the newer bowlers are very, very young. I'm not talking Kelly Kullick young...I'm not talking "creepy to date them" young...I'm talkin so young that it would probably be annoying to date them. I don't want to have to download any apps or have a twitter account...so dating those in the low 20s is probably out.

I haven't watched much of Extra Frame, but I enjoyed the passed week. Aslan, good news for you Danielle is not married, Kent is only her bf. It was good to see contrasting styles, McEwan bowled great, and she was on the team with Anthony Pepe, who bowls in the same alley in Queens I practice at, he does coaching at $50 per hour, I contemplated on calling him, maybe if I raise my average 15 points or so I might get a lesson from him, $50 per hour is a lot. Got to see Osku, even on tv you appreciate how hard the dude throws the ball. There was some young kid that looked as if he is sprinting to the approach to release the ball. Also was good to see old timers Rash, Smallwood, WRW and Bohn do well.
