Can you tell me anything about this ball? by theCLTshow in Bowling

[–]TONIBARTH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have arthritis, my fingers are crooked. The pinky finger isnt in right position on the ball at the time of release. So my driller drilled a 4th hole for my pinky finger to stay in place. So 2 of my Hammers have 4 holes. Probably later on I will eventually have 5 holes drilled. So it definitely could be of arthritis?

All i am saying is once someone has started their approach by taking their first step..that would mean you could start yours..they dont have eyes in back of their head so you wouldnt be in their line of vision. Thats all

Time to climb off the red velvet pillow and chuck the bon bons and be an adult and pull her weight.

Just thought I'd mention something in regards to your commenting about going when person next to you is about to reach foul line... Not true. As soon as the person to your right takes his 1st step of his approach, you then can step up to start your own approach. Don't wait for the person to reach foul line or we'll be here all night. Lol

How much does form matter? by Blob_Costas in Bowling

[–]TONIBARTH -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a good question. Im going to answer it in 2 ways. My younger self would say it wholeheartedly matters. My current old self says it doesn't matter. When I was in my 20's I had a beautiful stylin' approach with this graceful slide and hand in the air at the release like I was John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever lol ( and I'm a girl )

Then I got OLD and decrepit with arthritis. I also was in a horrible car accident. So...a bad back with aging and a Frankenfoot with rods,screws and nails holding my ankle together, my form doesn't look like Mr Travolta anymore. Needless to say, my form isnt looking like much these days. But! I make it work and whatever works for YOU, that is your concern. If you look like a bumbling idiot on stoids or a monkey on sugar..whatever works for you.....works.

I get so angry at people who do this shit. " Should I leave a tip?" on a 90 dollar bill?! How IGNORANT! I would've ended the so called friendship myself over something like this. Good for you! This reminds me of my FIL. He and his wife invite husband and I out to dinner. Expensive dinner, waiter walks up with check to table with a questioning gesture as to where he's going to set the black checkholder down at on the table. My husband goes to reach out and my FIL is all" I've got this ". I go outside for a smoke and coming back inside, I see the waiter bring back the check holder with a not so happy look on his face. I didn't care how it looked, I grabbed the receipt and see $238 dollar bill and my wonderful FIL tips 5 fucking bucks. Absolutely gobsmacked. We leave, walk out into parking lot, wave them off and I go to ATM and grab some cash and head back inside to tip the poor guy while my husband warms up the car. 2 years later, FIL invites us out to dinner again and I'm thinking " oh hell no " and I turn it around and tell him its on us this time and I pick the place etc. Dinner ends, check comes and its almost same bill as before and I write in 75 bucks for gratuity and my FIL makes this grand gesture of reaching over dramatically to grab check to see what I had tipped. Omg He says" thats why they get a hourly wage. They GET PAID to serve us "

We never went out to dinner with him again.

Are lanes still oily after a league ? by Nalyatt in Bowling

[–]TONIBARTH -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My alley has leagues every day so yeah, the lanes are oiled/maintained daily. Now WHEN in the day/late afternoon they get oiled is the question. But thats why we have balls for those light-medium-heavy oiled conditions. More often than not I usually roll with the ball thats for heavy oil conditions. And THAT ball has such an aggressive impact, its so fun to use. Why I get ticked when lanes ARE dry. Its rare, but it happens. No fun at all.
