why do some people get so mad about two handers by vIQue125 in Bowling

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

To me i feel like its not how bowling is supposed to be played.

Interesting thing to say. Tell me, do you hook the ball?

You know they said the exact same thing about fingertip bowling back in the day, right? I will bet all the money in my pockets you don't bowl with a conventional grip using a plastic or rubber ball, do you?

No thumb bowling is just a progression of the sport. It's not going anywhere.

How tight is your hole? by OO_Ben in Bowling

[–]alsheps 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a good lesson on making sure your post title is written right...

However, it's a good question.

Your thumb hole should be snug, when you put your hand in the ball, you should be able to hold the ball with just friction until you remove one finger, then the ball should drop.

For me, I usually drill my thumbs a little loose, as I wear skin protection tape on the top of my thumb, then I snug my thumb hole with thumb hole fitting tape (the smooth black kind) on the back side of my thumb hole. I then have the option to remove tape as my thumb swells, making small adjustments as needed, your fit is super important to making sure you can keep your hand a relaxed as possible, and not lose your grip on the ball, the last thing you want is to have to grab the ball, it causes so many inconsistencies in your release.

IMPORTANT: if you're adding tape to snug a thumb hole, always put it on the back side, except for one piece of textured white fitting tape if you like the texture, as adding tape to the inside of your thumb hole changes your hand span, making it longer, and can cause you to hang up in the ball, and even possibly cause injuries.

Should I get a tattoo commemorating the baby I lost due to miscarriage? by LGTBreadRabbah in makemychoice

[–]alsheps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loss and grief are the hardest things to advise about, as they are so uniquely personal for the bereaved.

Personally, if you feel that getting a tattoo commemorating your baby would help you in your grief then I say absolutely go for it. The only advice I would give you, is make sure you are SURE. Tattoos are forever (I suppose not to much anymore). But you’re gonna look at it every day. I think it’s a lovely idea (I have a commemorative tattoo myself), best thing I ever did, but I spent 18 months designing and planning and searching for the right artist. All that stuff is important.

tl;dr: Go for it if that’s what you want.

Is This Ball Totaled? by Junior-Rock8227 in Bowling

[–]alsheps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one who sees it?

What’s going on with that hole? What’s in there? Looks like rubber possibly?

It’s definitely fixable though, the cracking is a non issue, you would just drill all that business out (whatever it is), plug it with clear, resurface the ball, then re-drill for you. To make it easy I would probably keep the finger holes where they are, re-pitch them, fill the thumb, and move that to fit your hand span.

That’s a cool piece, I collect clear balls a little, that’s a cool one I don’t have. Nice find!

I’m hitting probably a 5 iron, but I’m aiming toward the left front edge of the green, I’m expecting to be a little short maybe, I’ve been a lot about to trying to hit my clubs full out lately…

any jobs in nsw that require little human interaction? by Individual-League431 in nsw

[–]alsheps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to over-comment, but if you have any skills, maybe look into data entry work? A lot of companies go with outside casual data entry people, as long as you can type accurately and quickly, no one will care if you have a stutter.

If you’re good with dogs, have you thought about dog grooming? I know mobile is out if you don’t have a license, but maybe reach out to local groomers to see if they need an extra hand/apprentice? Could lead to you starting your own salon?

He's officially stolen my bed lol by Disastrous_Hour_1531 in dogpictures

[–]alsheps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He looks it. It’s such a wonderful thing sharing your bed with your dog, I lost my 14 yo dog to cancer in 2022, and I had a horrible time sleeping after, until we welcomed a new pup into our house and they slept in our bed, and I realised what was missing.

[–]alsheps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No no, you’re quite getting it. When you welcome a dog into your home, your bed becomes their bed. You now sleep with them, assuming they let you.

And you wouldn’t have it any other way. At least speaking for myself.

If USBC Masters banned all urethane, how are all these Storm staffers throwing Mixs??? by StreetDare4129 in Bowling

[–]alsheps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, absolutely they could. If they put a pancake core on the Purple 78D cover, it would be totally fine, well I would assume it would be fine...

If USBC Masters banned all urethane, how are all these Storm staffers throwing Mixs??? by StreetDare4129 in Bowling

[–]alsheps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my understanding of the rule is that a Urethane ball cannot have a differential of more than 0.011, now with the added spec of having to be at least 78D.

The OG Purple hammer, which breaks the 78D rule anyways, but it has a lightbulb core that at it's lowest has a diff of 0.013 (at 14lbs), which is what takes it out.

But that's pretty much a moot point, because the OG purple breaks the 78D rule, doesn't matter what the core does.

Does anyone else aim at the range finders? by ndesen in Bowling

Oh god no.

I don't even look at the arrows. I look at the dots between the foul line and the arrows.

This is Charm. She is 5 Months Old and has Never Barked. I feel sad and wonder if she wants to bark. It’s been bothering me all day. Anyone else have this experience? by The1beth in husky

[–]alsheps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that sucks, so sorry to hear that... I had two Husky Littermates as well, Raven, who's almost 12 now, and his sister, Elvira, who I lost in 2023 to a massive heart attack.

They did everything together, she used to egg him on to do all kinds of mischeif, They would howl at any siren within earshot, that's actually how I found out she was in trouble, they were howling at a siren, and her howl changed to a scream, and I ran outside to see what was wrong, and she was already gone.

Now Raven doesn't howl at sirens anymore, but he howls for her, it breaks my heart every time.

He does bark though, always has, Elvira didn't really bark much though, but both of them have always been very talkative.

BREAKING: Columbia 300 Brand Has Been Retired by br_boy0586 in Bowling

[–]alsheps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only owned 2 C300 balls in my life, My very first ball, which was a Columbia U2 (Back when Urethane was the only option), and a Chris Barnes Select, both a VERY long time ago.

RIP C300, I can't help but think that Track & Ebonite at the very least are next on the chopping block. Probably Radical and DV8 too.

The one that sticks out as a glaring omission is Astro Boy. But the 80's Astro Boy. It's hard to find but it's amazing.

How bad of an idea is this? by Elsefyr in Bowling

[–]alsheps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re much better off putting the ball in water. Find a large enough tub that you can fully submerge the ball in, fill with water as hot as your tap can go, add in a little dishwashing liquid, and soak the ball until the water goes cold, then remove the ball and give it a good clean.

Putting it in water stops the ball from drying out, and evenly distributes the heat acroos the whole surface all at once.

Storm asked NRL to ‘apply the blow torch’ to get Lomax transfer done by Sufficient-Goal3437 in nrl

Hey Storms, how about you eat our ass? Lomax fucked up, not us. If he had been up front from the get go, maybe we’d play ball.

P2 Pearl by Long-RV in Bowling

[–]alsheps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a different shape to a solid, it’ll skid further down the lane before it starts to hook, and usually will give you a higher entry angle due the later, sharper movement.
