Speed cam and stopwatch are very helpful.

by the time I finish my shot, and grab the speed cam, the sweeper has already dropped, darnit!!!!

I live by three simples rules:
1. Don't ever ask about my business
2. Never discuss business at the table
3. Don't ever side with anyone against the family
Almost every bowler I know carries a cell phone, and even mine, which is like 107 in cell phone years, has a stopwatch function.

No but every pro shop I know of does. If you want to do the stuff yourself then you need the tools.

I will be taking my tri-pod and 10 year old digital camera down to a small local place tomorrow to practice.
it even does 60FPS... just a 320px
arsenal in use: columbia 300 hyde, track 811a, dv8 nightmare, rotogrip grenade
avg: 210
rev rate: 450
high game / series: 290 / 831
I bring my laptop to film stuff. Easy to film stuff, easy to keep track of times and different angles.
Not being sarcastic but that must have been a fortune back then. I actually had to look hard for a digital camcorder that could do 60fps. A week or so after I checked my laptop and found that it would do 60fps.
I've tried it with my phone several times. It skips frames and it so slow it doesn't even show the swing arm at all.

Not at all, The camera was around $150-200 3.2MP Cannon SD200. its only at 320x240 resolution tho.
It does 480res 30fps for standard. Never planned on using it for videos, my cell phone might be slightly better at this point but it doesn't have the threads to tripod mount.
You got me reading a few newer camera reviews and im seeing some that say 60fps are just duplicating frames @ 30fps, so whats the point? ill have to test mine.
always have to read the fine print.

Ok John, yes I do have a cell phone, older, takes pictures (low res) and no video. I also have a stop watch on my wrist watch, but from the time I set it until the time I'd finish "posting my shot"....aw' crap...3.1 minutes !! Can't quite figure out how to do that !! LOL

Bob, why can't you just take the time from the video you need to figure the rev rate? It's the only way I know of to do with one person.
