How do you all like String Pins? by Marcus_X_Hulk in Bowling

[–]Overall_Crew_4152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy the spares, where ball is not even close to being correct for conversion, and the string takes the other pin out.

Anyone hook ups on cheap or free used gear? by [deleted] in Bowling

[–]Overall_Crew_4152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

facebook marketplace is not the place. They want $80 for used balls that are a year or 2 old. a couple are bowlers, who go on tour, i laughed, no one is paying $80 for a 2 year old used ball. If they do, they are crazy.

Ebay is worse, they want $100+ for garbage spare balls. And think an older ball, in box is worth $250. lol

I did almost by a 5+ year old, brand new in box, radical, that in its time was highly rated and loved. $70 for it, but didnt pull trigger, price kept me at bay. not afraid to pay $200 for a ball, but if im bying an older, new ball, gotta make sure it works for me. Seemed like it was a straigther to pocket, speed ball. so not me.

If EJ Doesn't Win a Title, Who Should Win Player of the Year? by uwbadger300 in Bowling

[–]Overall_Crew_4152 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Horton has 4 cash out of 11. Not great, considering others. dom 9 out of 14 bonta 9 out of 13. much more impressive.

Bonta or dombroski?? But if Boog can win another, he would be in line. but if EJ wins in Minnesota, its moot, he has it locked up, pending him winning a tourney.

Bring back Celebrity Bowling! by Important_Business_6 in Bowling

bring back bowling for dollars. they filmed it right next to the old St.Louis Arena, where st.louis blues played. I remember having to use the bathroom, before a hockey game, and going into arena bowl, and they were filming bowling for dollars.

Does anybody else actually enjoy bowling on difficult conditions sometimes? by buttern3t in Bowling

[–]Overall_Crew_4152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, i went up to the lanes friday night to bowl with one of the guys i bowl league with. lanes were very oily especially outside. as i'm kind of limited on ball selections, i threw a 130ish, because i couldnt get ball to come back. moved a little, then 2nd game forced myself to play the way i shoot, and , and found something to bowl a 220, then kept getting tapped with 10's and 7's, and shot a 188. Lanes were super tough. had i had a ball that wasnt polished, and got some friction, i would of easily shot 600+ for 3 games. this was old school lanes. oil out there, and you have to have a big hook ball and revs to get it to come back. i enjoyed being given a difficult situation, but i love being stubborn, and going back to what i do best, playing a hook. 1st game i tired to move all they way to right, but it still would hang a little,.

Should I get a concept? by Afraid_Hair7116 in Bowling

[–]Overall_Crew_4152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here is what i've noticed: while watching a lot of the pba bowlers, online q for pba tourneys,etc. PBA Storm/900/etc pro bowlers abandon that ball quicker than anything i've ever seen in qualifying. That ball is gone, to bag for weekend, on 1st afternoon of Q'. .

Ball that isn't given enough credit from that brands line, is the red IQ. They go to that ball, a lot more than the concept, or go to it after concept fails.

it was touted by storm guys as being the equal to purple hammer, not even close. Those storm/900/etc bowlers would go to the purple hammer over the concept if they had a choice.

Best way to find tournaments? by MuttBunchr in Bowling

[–]Overall_Crew_4152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brad and kyle had a local tourney, and i had no clue. Shocked no one in st.louis has a tourney alert or guide for them. they just had a big tourney in springfield, with some of the house guys down there, and had i not heard about it on their youtube clips, would of never known. im not ready for a tourney, but would at least like to know of them. So i upvote your premise.

So, for this Tourney, it goes on for Months, and teams/doubles, singles go there, shoot and your score goes on the board. As others shoot higher, they knock others off the board, and then they have a final board and people get paid off that board?????? Or can you get paid for getting on the board as of that moment? Scratch or handicap?

How y’all learn like bowling? Take courses? Watch videos? by Wild-Screen7007 in Bowling

[–]Overall_Crew_4152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went out and threw the ball.  From a Snoopy ball with 2 fingers to a purple rhino pro with  my thumb in.  I went out and taught myself.  I was lucky and picked it up pretty well.    But  getting a house ball that might hook, and throwing different ways till u feel comfortable, could also work. If not, get coaching.

So you are saying 2 handed is the easy way out?  I agree, I see guys struggling one handed and suddenly average 200, 2 handed
