    I don’t think you can blame the sliced thumb on old age.

    The alternative to getting old is much worse. Just ask anyone who hasn't got old..... They won't answer you.

    Totally agree about getting old. Stretched my back a couple weeks ago and tweaked something. Pain went from hip down my leg and settled in hamstring of left leg. Went to Chiropractor and it has helped, but instead of bowl a tournament this past Sunday, I decided to pick weeds out of flower beds and grass. Reaggravated it and back to square one. LOL!!

    Yeah. Been there. I have 2 bulging disks in my back and the front of my right thigh has been numb since about 2002. Been to chiropractor many times. They were going to do surgery but after some therapy it got better and doesn't bother me that much now. And I'm only 49...lol

    Can daily stretching reverse or slow down old age or does it get to a point where it's too late for that or it won't help. I have aches and pains daily but I don't let it affect my game. I don't bowl more than 6 games a week either. Imsure that helps. I'm 39 with a repaired hip and an impingment. I exercise several times a week with a workout geared towards bowling.

    I think you're trying to make your body do things it shouldn't be doing. Putting aside using your thumb as a cutting board. =) As we are middle aged our bodies are more like glass than rubber so we have to behave accordingly my friend. As I tell wifey who ages like fine wine, I age like milk left out on the counter. I also say youth is wasted on the young but it's just how the bowling ball bounces. Like the buoy's on the lake say in the shallow water "Proceed with caution". Wait... it's the night shirt wifey wears to bed says that! No wonder I was thinking about buoys.

    Arsenal consists of mainly 15# Motiv balls, I have several now and they are the bomb! Too many to list and carry. Still have a couple Hammer balls and my AMF RPM Swirl (old reliable) & 25+yr old Linds worth a mention
    Currently 535+ Rev Rate @ 19 MPH (This probably needs to be updated, I think I've toned each down a click or two these days. I'm letting the ball do more of the work as I get older.)
