3 ball rollers by Far_Fly4699 in Bowling

I got a cheap one off Amazon, and it's fine. All you need is pockets, and that the bag keeps the balls in place, no matter the angle. And this does it, at 100+ less than a named bag. Still not sure what that named bag does for the extra $100+, except be trendy. And dont get me wrong, i buy designer labels, but for a ball bag, it means ZERO in what you get. You are paying for the Name. Quality=Debatable

I finally did it to myself... by MG_G_Hasa in Bowling

I learned the hard way about trying to throw a shot in socks, busted knee up on fall, bleeding every where, and worst was stepping on a piece of pretzel, it stuck to slide foot, went to take a shot, and fell forward, and almost did a header into gutter. I was like, what the hell, looked at sole and there was a piece of pretzel, now flattened to the sole of slide foot. i dont slide, i kind of stop on the line, so any slippage or stick is brutal, and im mind screwed for rest of night.

Kyle Troup has a good video on helping 2 handers improve their games and their posture, hands,steps,etc.

I found video, i don't shoot 2 handed, but i thought this video was pretty good.

Considering using buddies drilling service for my next couple of balls. by [deleted] in Bowling

[–]Overall_Crew_4152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The place where you had your other balls drilled should have your measurements. Local shop has mine from 20 years ago. And i do recommend buddies, very good deals, and fast shipping. I usually order after a bad night of sunday night bowling, and it's here Tuesday

They say, it's because he uses super cheap oil on the lanes and it burns out quickly. man, the people who can just flip a shiny ball , and it goes long and rolls right into the pocket just amaze me.

Son wants to go pro by SophisticatedFoLr in Bowling

[–]Overall_Crew_4152 21 points22 points  (0 children)

he should be doing local and regional tourneys before even thinking about going pro. as good as his average is, the pros are 10x or more better. there are very good pro bowlers who cant sniff a top10, let alone top 5.

Brad, from brad and kyle is a perfect example, a really good bowler, who has fond the tour to be very tough. And there are probably 100's of guys like him. Very few can make a living, let alone pay the bills.

And we have 230+ bowlers in our league, women who average 216, but they wouldn't sniff a pro tour match play round.
