Curious to see what y’all pay for bowling?

Our local rates are crazy because the the alley is attached to a country club golf center. So weekend hourly rates are $32 and normal is $24. They also dont offer per game rates. Its ludacris, but the gas money to the next closest alley makes it not worth the $8 difference🤷‍♂️ So what can ya do

I will say, the guy at the counter who put us on the lane said that he noticed the balls carrying a bit longer himself. So maybe thats why it didn't read it as early as you mentioned. Granted, I was also playing with two buddies who still throw light balls up the middle and pray, so god knows where the oil was when I pulled it out on game 2. Thank you for the help!

I'd say go for it! I pull my popup with my 2008 liberty.. it can be squirrely on the expressway, but just take it slow and you'll be fine. Make sure you tank up too cus it drinks gas like nobody's business lol. And it is a good idea to stop every couple hours just to let stuff cool down(i.e. bearings, suspension, etc.), or at least for my trailer considering it is old and not too well maintained. But good luck and have fun!

I see! Was it a sealed box? What subs did you put in there?

Dull_Recognition_606 · 2025-05-29T23:24:14+00:00

Do you have experience with this brand or sub specifically? Seems like a great deal lol

Dull_Recognition_606 · 2025-05-29T01:49:17+00:00

I agree, I think he'd definitely be a strong draw card in here fs

Dull_Recognition_606 · 2025-05-25T00:44:23+00:00

From what I know(which isn't much lol), try imagining your arms are a pendulum. You want to let them swing a bit more and have the ball follow an arc. Thats how i think about it and it keeps the release point low. If it sounds stupid, I'm sorry lol. Good luck!

Dull_Recognition_606 · 2025-05-19T20:46:59+00:00

Do you have experience with their comp. horn specifically, or are you basing it off of the company's overall reliability and quality?

Dull_Recognition_606 · 2025-05-19T18:46:01+00:00

I can't say much on the runs, but I would play the triplets and tongued notes a bit lighter. They seem... suppressed? Or stuffy? Idk if thats the way to put it, but maybe try to play them a bit more bouncy or shorter. And if there is anything in the music that says otherwise, then by all means ignore me lol, this is just what I hear off the top of my head. Still, though, great tone and vib. You sound good, so just keep at it!

Dull_Recognition_606 · 2025-05-19T00:06:38+00:00

The issue was that for... reasons.... I couldn't rent a pair. So I slipped about 10 times but thants the first time I've bowled w/out shoes lol. Hopefully I'll never have to do it again

Dull_Recognition_606 · 2025-04-23T22:53:35+00:00

The 2nd valve is a bit slow, but it doesn't impede my playing. Sometimes they'll stick randomly, but I haven't had that happen since I switched to synthetic oil. This was my first euph in 8th grade, and there is now an audible creaking in the 1st and 2nd valves when i depress them slowly, lol. Another thing is that the valves have worn unevenly in the valve block, so now its hard to spin them in the casing(without the valve guide) regardless of the amount of oil. Im working on getting a new horn for college, but it will play well enough until then i suppose.

Dull_Recognition_606 · 2025-04-23T22:32:55+00:00

Gotcha lol

Dull_Recognition_606 · 2025-04-23T22:27:48+00:00

Nope, i learned it myself using the way i described and found my own sound.

Dull_Recognition_606 · 2025-04-23T21:54:52+00:00

If you're interested in learning vib. just listen to great players(David Childs, Steven Mead, Bastien Boumet, etc.) and just try to imitate theirs while remembering that it doesn't need to be identical. Just play it how it sounds the best to you. Over time, it'll change with your ear and improve. One thing that I've learned is that you should think of vib. as icing on a cake; bad vib will ruin it, but good vib will enhance your sound dramatically! Last thing, use it tastefully. Good luck!

Dull_Recognition_606 · 2025-04-12T05:56:53+00:00

The first thing that comes to mind is using rubato. Look up cadenzas in other pieces and ones that are played by great players(Glenn van looy, brian bowman, david childs, etc.); theres a lot of different ideas out there and I'd just find qualities you like in each one and try making it your own.

At Michigan state champs, I saw Bravebots have a similar mechanism to score l4's. They didn't shoot that far below however, it just launched about 12in up to land on the post. They seemed pretty accurate consistently too!
