    Default Show Us Your Bowling Caves...

    So some months ago I bought a spinner and well, things have "spun" a bit out of control. Interested to see your play areas too, here's mine:

    Overview (those are my four balls that aren't in my bag up on the shelf, have another three as well...it's an addiction):


    Here's the spinner inside the tub:

    And here's the de-oiler I keep behind my bar (where else would you keep one, am I right?):

    Let's see, I'd have a picture of a washing machine, 400,600 and 800 wet-or-dry paper, 3M Trizact paper equivalent to P2000, Meguires ultimate polish, my daughter's blow dryer, a flexible ruler, a grease pencil, dollar store degreaser and a cereal bowl to set a ball in. And microfiber rags.

    Not too exciting.
    Ball speed: 17 - 18.5 mph Rev rate: 400ish
    PAP 6 1/8" over 1/4" up
    13° axis tilt / 30°-60° axis rotation
    Thumbless bowler

    Thanks!

    No I don't layout or drill my own equipment. I actually drive about an hour one-way to a shop I really love.

    I use the armadillo to check my own PAP after/if I change something significant with my mechanics; but mainly use that and the prosect tool as a teaching aid with some of the people I coach when they start asking about PAP, dual angle layouts, etc.

    I'm going to a Jayhawk seminar this year and hope to be drilling balls for our junior bowlers after I get some actual certification.

    I don't have a bowling cave - I have a beer brewing cave. I leave the bowling stuff to the pro shop.
