Re: who else is going to get or has gotten some snow?? by Calvin Pistorio @ 15 minutes 15 seconds ago

Yeah I get to deal with 10-20 more inches possibly over the next couple days. But hey the weekend is looking clear and I might be able to bowl league for the first time in three weeks.

Re: The Question: Recommend a Ball For Me by dago @ 20 minutes 20 seconds ago

Went with the Storm Fast. From what i have read it seems to be the better ball for my situation. I placed the order with Bowlingball.com about 4 hours ago! Woot! Anything i should know before i find/have a local pro shop drill it?

Jack, I believe Vini is from Albania. Bowling as I understand it is not very popular in the former eastern bloc countries. I hope people here can pick out a few issues w/my style as well. Bought a new FireWire cable this morning and captured my prac

Jump to new posts Re: Oval vs. Round Thumb Hole by Calvin Pistorio @ Today at 06:44 PM

If the degree of the oval is off it can cause the thumb not to come out correctly which will cause it to hang up, or force you to alter your release in order to get out of it. That is not advisable. Round thumb holes won't cause more sticking unles

Thanks for the help guys. Bowled on Sunday and had a horrible time, however it solidified what I learned here. Seems that I leave the 7-10's when my speed is down - usually it's when I'm tired, this past Sunday due to a back injury. Bowling on 1 an

I have the same problem not being able to find a good driller. Mine put the right size inserts in. But he put them in the wrong holes.

I like the virtual Energy. I have it drilled aggressive and it hooks. I would say it performs well on medium to heavy. I think its a very good ball. It hits hard. Its a very solid ball.

Re: Why shoot cross-lane at spares by JackZ @ Today at 04:13 PM

I'm a lefty and I've thrown backup balls at 7's, so a righty can throw backup at the ten. Doesn't work for everybody, but imo you're still better off going cross lane at corner pins.

My week actually went decent for once. Monday league I shot 279-233-220 for a 722. Friday I shot 224-268-242 for a 734. Finally shooting a few decent sets. Time to bowl again tonight so hopefully I can continue the hot hand.

Opening the drilling angle more than the VAL angle (which gets the MB out of the strongest position) would be a good idea, yes.

I have a groove urethane the dark blue, it doesn't hook at all, and doesn't seem to track up like plastic balls do. I did have a T-zone but it tracked up after a short time and started hooking.

I have been coaching highschool age bowlers for years. The best thing anyone can learn for shooting spares is how to throw the ball straight. Start by showing them how to position their hands by having the pinky spread and the index finger pulled in

Starting Postion of bowling ball by Rob183 @ Today at 07:33 AM

What are the benefits on holding the ball close to your body at your stance? Could it help delay timing and help you get more in time if your early like I am? Right now I hold the ball straight in front of me with both hands holding the ball.. Kin

Re: Hitting light by Calvin Pistorio @ Today at 06:55 AM

Are you hooking the ball? If so I have a feeling you aren't playing the lanes right. It sounds like you are throwing straight down the third arrow and the ball doesn't hook enough when you stand on 21 and when you stand on 19 you've changed the angle
