I just found out that I'm an honorable mention for our all city team. I guess that's a good thing considering I took a year off and only bowled full time in...
On Mon, Jun 1, 2009 at 2:03 PM, dani.andriacchi ... Congrats! How long ago were you in Michigan! I'm curious how you get selected for All-City? Eldred -- I'm...
I was in Michigan since 1977 but didn't start bowling competitively until mid 1990s when I was in my 30's. I'm now in Wisconsin (since Jan. 08). They use your...
On Tue, Jun 2, 2009 at 12:30 PM, dani.andriacchi ... Oh well - it would be almost impossible for me to be on the men's all-city team. There are more than 5...
As some of you may know, I ride in a yearly bicycling event for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The Wish-A-Mile 300 helps raise money to grant wishes for some...
Not to be rude...But, what does this have to do with Bowling?? (Moderator: he is raising money for a good organization and obviously one of the other...
It doesn't have anything to do with bowling... Eldred on the other hand, has a LOT to do with bowling. Eldred, 300 miles over 3 days??!! WoW!! Good luck to...
Do you know that Make A Wish Charity grants wishes to kids who are terminally ill? I have NO OBJECTIONS to anyone seeking donations to any legitimate charity!!...
... Admittedly, not a darn thing. I had hopes that members wouldn't mind a note about a great charity, and might even be nice enough to donate.... If I was...
Well after not bowling since league ended I went to ProShop and picked up a Global 900 Bam for shooting my ten pin spare. Also had the thumb hole check on my...
Carl, Being comfortable is 90% of shooting a spare, especially the corner pins. In the two houses I bowl in one has very dry corners and the other has rather...
Thanks Gary. Hopefully with the thumb holes all the same and my feeling more confident on picking the ten pin up I will have a better season come fall league....
There's an old joke...How's your summer been? Well pretty good, but we won't know for sure till after Labor Day!! (Maine humor, you have to know a down east...
Well, maybe the wrist pain was caused in part by the thumb hole? I thought my thumb hole was screwed up causing my finger to pull apart at the joint...remember...
... I'm bowling on a men's trio summer league on Mondays. I started out GREAT, and have fallen off the wagon. I'm struggling to get to 600 now, and I'm...
Eldred I can only speak from my experience. In my younger days I would do well when not bowling in any side pots but when I started bowling in the pots my ...
... The strange thing is, I *love* the competition! Put me at anchor needing to punch out in the 10th to win the game, and I eat it up. So I can't understand...
Eldred, that is interesting. I feel the same way. I've had nights years ago where in our Thursday night league I'd do lousy, averaging just over 600. Someone...
I have my disney Princess ball that I use for Spares I have Jazmin's Tusshy drilled into the Track of the ball that way I get a little extra room on the ten...
Last night was an exercise in frustration. I stayed in the pocket pretty much all night, but couldn't carry. I left a bunch of 10 pins, a couple of 7 pins,...
Eldred, I agree that you might have to consider. The only people around here I see going down and in are the ones that throw a fireball. I have finally settled...
I've had this happen to me when the oil is carried down to just in front of the pins or on the deck. Typically see a lot of sliding pins (out of range) too....
hi eldred, sounds like a tough night with the carrying. a more aggressive ball would be a good way to go about it. another suggestion would be to move away...
... I'm already on the right, so I couldn't move any farther. Moving to the left wouldn't keep that angle. Or did I misunderstand? I can't remember if I've...
The challenge when choosing a ball is figuring out exactly what is happening on the lane. If the oil has carried down through the middle, a reactive ball, no...
That is exactly right, the challenge is understanding the ball reaction and training to keep your eye on how the ball slides, hooks, and rolls down the lane....
