Sorry Jim, but one of my bowling acquaintances, Alex Aguiar, beat Barnes yesterday in the first round. You're going to hate Alex even more b/c he couldn't get past Ritchie Allen today (although it was a pretty close match). Aguiar will face Barnes

Re: aggressive layouts on weaker balls by leftykev @ Today at 01:18 PM

Why should I pay top dollar for the current high end ball, when I can save a few bucks, and spend that savings in other bowling related ways. This season, I'm using Storm balls (Hy-Road and ROF). I've matched up an aggressive drilling with the right

Re: aggressive layouts on weaker balls by Joe Bowler @ Today at 12:26 PM

I want my new bowling balls to hook so much out of the box that they have to be delivered to my neighbor. Seriously, what makes a new bowling worth buying to me is if it goes longer, turns harder, and drives through the pins with less deflection.

Sounds good. Still waiting for the PBA to do something like the "Ultimate Bowler" reality series. Imagine 7 of the top amateur bowlers competing over a period of 6 weeks on each of the animal patterns, one of the bowlers being eliminated

I'm in a similar boat to you, had the one weaker reactive ball and wanted to add something more. I decided to go to the other end of the spectrum from my first ball and add a mutant cell instead of a bench mark like the hy-road, and feel like I made

Re: My 3 week bowling improvement... by spectral @ Today at 11:26 AM

there is no one way to create revs or hook. There are multiple ways. old school is to hit up on the ball, which you use a lot of wrist action to do so. new school is to uncup and turn at point of release creating revs that way. The pro's create r
