A while back I bought a couple bowling balls with bags at good will for $1 each. I wanted the bags, I mean check out this sweet retro bag!


So I had a couple pretty beat up bowling balls that I didn't know what to do with. I looking into having them resurfaced and re-drilled but the price was too high for balls of such age. Going by serial numbers I determined that the dark red Columbia 300 White Dot is from '85 and the Brunswick ...

I'm not sure how to change my username can someone help with that? So i'm just writing this blog entry in order to blow off some steam. I create a general dislike towards myself because of my failures in bowling. Last night I had a shot at a 300 and an 800 in the same set again. I say again because I have done it before. Problem was that this time I was nervous for no real reason. I bowl in a house where it takes a damn miracle for anyone to get 11 in a row. It's very easy to throw pocket 7-10s, ...

Last night I had my first exposure to the PBA Bear pattern in the pattern league I am bowling in this summer. Let's start by thanking the powers that be for making this the first pattern of the season...one that reduced the 220-230 house bowler to shooting under 600 in a four game set, and to what I could only imagine as Aslan's delight, the two handed bowlers missing the head pin in all ways imaginable.

First I will discuss my initial game plan for this pattern. The pattern itself ...

I decided to start this blog for a few varying reasons, some that are solely for personal benefit and some that may in some way assist the random person who stumbles upon this blog. As a personal gain this can be used as a tool to track my changes, thoughts on challenging patterns, and as an easy way to share thoughts with bowling acquaintances. For others this can be used as a tool to think about something in a different way, a reminder of a key fundamental that has been ignored or forgotten, ...

I'VE OFTEN HEARD IT SAID:
ANGELS IN HEAVEN ARE HAVING A BOWLING TOURNAMENT
THE LOUD CLASH IS DUE TO THE STRIKES BEING MADE AND THE
ROLLING THUNDER ARE THE BALLS ROLLING DOWN THE LANES
AND OF COURSE WHEN YOU SEE THE FLASHES OF LIGHTNING
YOU KNOW THEY ARE TAKING PICTURES OF THE ANGELS THAT WON
THE TOURNAMENT AND THE FALLING RAIN HAPPENS TO BE
THE ANGELS TEARS OF JOY BECAUSE THEY ARE SO OVERWHELMED
WITH THE THRILL OF BOWLING NOT TO MENTION ...

On bowlingboards there is a message thread that talks about the use of spare balls. I was part of the discussion there on using spare balls or not. I was taught at a young age not to try so much for a strike but to focus on picking up the spare. this meant changing my start position to allow my ball to curve back to pick up the spare or hit the pins just so to pick up the spare. With thinking about this topic, I decided to take my Brunswick Ambush(12lb) ball with me to my latest practice session. ...

My name is Jeff and bowling is my game. I have decided to start this blog for several reasons. The first is that I have been bowling ever since I was very young. My dad taught not only me, and my sister, but even got my grandfather into bowling back when he use to work part time at the local bowling alley. I took a 10 and a half year break due to serving in the US Coast Guard. Since getting out, I found that I have more free time than before. So I decided to get back into bowling. I joined ...

I have been in a month long argument with the USBC. They have chosen to just not respond anymore, so I feel like it is my duty to bring the problem to the attention of other bowlers. I am ready to wash my hands with the USBC completely and start a national average company myself.

I started back bowling about year and half ago. I am struggling with my release because my wrist keeps popping before the release of ball. I wear a wrist support but doesn't stop the popping. Am I doing something wrong during my release?

I have been bowling on a league for about seven years now . In every house I have been in they have cleaned and oiled the lanes and finished 20min. before practice. Now with that said the hose I’m bowling in now oils and clean lanes at 9 or 11 am we start practice at 6:45 pm and I live in Phoenix , Az. HOT in the summer. Now the House says that is normal and there is nothing wrong with the lanes. I’m not a an expert but when oil sets it will gather to low spots on a surface. No matter how thick ...

So i ordered a new ball yesterday. I ordered a 15 lb 3-3.5 inch pin with 3oz topweight... They had no problems getting those specs and sent it right out/.. I got the tracking and look and saw that it said the package was 14 lbs... I called the company and asked if they sent the correct ball as the oder sheet was all correct.. They said that it was prob just a mis type when entering the weight. since the ball was being delivered today they told me to just check it and let them know.... I couldnt ...

We before we went to bowl last night in my weekly 9 pin no tap trny, she wanted to try to "kick my butt" while i was packing us my bags. She came over and was pushing around so i started to play back. then we started to get like all MMA on each other (just playing not really fighting) But to make a long story shot she went to try to kick and i pulled my leg up to block and *CRACK* her toe against my knee... Well we iced it right away and figured it was just jammed (which i still think ...
