    Default Why not more women doing demo"s!!

    I don't get it,,,, Storm,,, and many other top end bowing manufactures! My wife wants to get one of your balls, the IQ fusion, but when I try to find a demo, with comparable rev rates, and ball speeds with women throwing the balls,,,, WELL,,, NOWHERE!!

    Don't women bowl? Wouldn't it be nice for them to see your balls moving down the lanes
    with a more Aslan type of look, of the girly kind! LOL

    Serious,,, Why not?? SURE,,, if you look hard, Motiv has one I believe,,,, but you have to look hard, and its not even equal to the number of men throwing, with high rev and speed! (sure not all men have high speed and revs) but most that demo the ball do. Lane side has some old fart, about my age throwing balls, but they are the exception not the rule, and even they don't have a woman demo-er!!!

    Let face it, women want to see what those balls, and their recommenced layouts look like! Not Johnny rocket wrist throwing the damn balls!!!! Make it real for women! Give them WHAT THEY WANT and NEED!!!



    The lady above is retired, and available for any manufacture of bowling balls if interested... Her nick name is Pocket Penny!

    Thats like asking why you don't see more women deer hunting.

    Because they just don't. There are too many malls and too few bowling alleys and men that bowl tend to be weird...so they just hang with their girlfriends and drink mojitos and talk about the latest episode of the Bachelor.

    I practiced last night and there was a group of gals and guys bowling next to me. Am I the only one that gets annoyed at how the average John Q or Jane Q bowler essentially treats bowling like it's just a big joke and excuse to get together and drink and act foolishly....without ANY regard for actually even ATTEMPTING to knock down all 10 pins!!??? I mean, I swear (not literally Bowl...no infraction necessary). Since when did it become "uncool" to bowl properly???

    I felt like a circus freak because I was the only one in the 6-lane area that was actually TRYING!! They looked at me like, "Wow dude...maybe you should just drink and yell and throw it in the gutter and fall down more....then you could have fun too....rather than bowling a 200 and being sweaty and alone and mad because you missed a 7-pin."

    I will say, the blond on the lane next to me...HORRIBLE bowler...and her beer had an orange slice in it which I am against (fruit in beers)...but man...a body....I mean "personality" that WOULD NOT QUIT! Aslan found the next future ex-wife....assuming Alyssa Milano continues to not return my calls. Woo...made ole Aslan have trouble conentrating on his Monday practice when all THAT is going on next to him!!

    Default Wow,,, I don't get it???

    This doesn't upset women!! The fact that ball demo's are 99.9 percent MEN!! Wow,,, My wife is upset, she is in the market for a new ball, and wants to see what the balls will do, with a woman throwing the balls!!

    When a woman throws a ball, its entirely DIFFERENT then a Man! Men just do it better, ask (not sure how his name is spelled) Mallot

    Who cares if it's a man or woman throwing the ball. Just look for someone that matches her speed and revs roughly. It doesn't freaking matter anyway....it's just gonna be a video of someone throwing one strike after the other....they all look the same, and they are all fairly worthless when buying a new ball.

    Exactly - I have never once watched a video that influenced my decision on what ball to buy. That is where a good pro shop guy or girl comes into play - they know your style and how a ball works and what is available.

    Aslan it is the typical no effort society thing. No one knows the meaning of hard work, etc. That's why people like iphones. They are mindless. The Disposable iSociety that we live in. If it doesn't work - whether that is an iphone or grandpa - throw it out and get another or move on. This is why open bowling annoys me. Not to mention the oil is never the same in practice as it is during league night or during a tournament. This is why I really don't find a whole lot of use for practice. To practice foot work or consistency of hitting a mark or a new shot, etc. ok but to even pay attention to the scores in open bowling is pretty pointless.

    And they didn't think you were a circus freak. They were wondering is that the dude we saw on America's Most Wanted or the picture at the post office? You had S-E-R-I-A-L killer written all over you. Or maybe stalker. Something of that nature.

    WHO CARES,,, I care, my wife cares! If it has no significance, then WHY do they make them hampe! You say to JUST look for someone that match's her speed and revs,,,, ( NO ANIMAL EVEN COMES CLOSE), but,,, BUT when I look at pro Women bowlers, I see a much closer similarity to her style, speed, and rev rate.

    I agree,,, and have said that if you were to mask the color of the ball in a video demoing a particular ball, YOU WOULD NOT SEE OR EVEN KNOW ONE FROM THE OTHER, they all look pretty much the same when thrown by
    Tony L!!!

    YES, I think they are nothing but EYE candy, to get you to think that YOU can have the same results that the PRO has throwing, (what-ever-ball-HE-is making look fantastic)!

    That being said, and standing up for a good part of the bowling public, I think women should have demo video's that have the (((LOOK OF THE BALL THROWN with much less REVS, and SPEED)))!

    Damn Hampe,,, Does that seem to be an unfair request!

    My wife is in the market,,, NO BALL demo's that even come close to what MOST WOMEN want to see!

    Is it the only tool most people use to pick a ball? NO!

    But it is ONE tool that can be useful!

    Lane side is one of the only groups that actually give a lot of dialogue, along with their visual of the ball. They also have at least 3 different styles of bowlers,,, BUT NO WOMEN! Even their old dried up guy, throws harder and with more revs then most women!

    I don't care what you say Hampe,,, ITS TIME FOR CHANGE,,, and the sooner the better,,,, STAND UP WOMEN, or go back to the kitchen and take your place cooking, washing dishes, and keeping your mouth shut about bowling demo's!
