Agreed Martin, I have learned more in the last month than I had in years of bowling before coming here. It would be nice to win a ball though.

I also have a tendency to tell who ever I'm bowling with during open bowl what they are doing wrong. Again that goes back to seeing my Dad do it to me. Monkey see, monkey do, so to speak. I have a good friend who use to bowl with me when we were younger. It got to the point where he wanted me to tell him so he could beat me. I think I need to have someone else teach her other than me. But if she doesn't even want to come watch me bowl, should I still try to get her into bowling? I kind of want her to say "lets go bowling and I want to learn how so I can beat you." I don't know if that will ever happen since she won't come watch me bowl. Right now I'm in a league where the top five teams get to go to a tournament in Reno. I'm hoping getting her to go with me to that sparks an interest in bowling that is laying dormant.

I know what you mean, but you could be practicing your spares or something... Just think about it, even though it sucks to lose, it sucks to bowl by yourself as well....
You have to push her to pass that milestone, and she can eventually become a better bowler as well.

I have only been using a global 900 Favorite, and Link, since I started bowling again the last ball i had before that was a thunder bolt. So what kind of global 900 ball would this be comparable to? Been considering something with more backend.

The 900 Global Bank Roll is the closest thing they have to the Vivid but don't kid yourself, the Vivid is a step up from that.

I've never bowled with 900 global stuff but I can assure you the vivid has plenty of backend.
