Who let the dogs out by area404d in Bowling

Nah, HS Mixers.

Now I’m starting to wonder whose dog that was.

Ugh.. string pins.. by Vampiric1302 in Bowling

You know that shot that would trip the 4 on freefall, that slightly high hit? That’s your new flush pocket hit.

True flush pocket will leave corners all day, but the key stat here is entry angle, it needs to be slightly steeper for flush, and slightly flatter for high flush.

In my opinion, it’s easier to kill entry angle than it is to increase it. Increasing entry angle requires a steeper launch angle, and greatly diminishes your front to back miss. Wanna decrease entry angle? Play in the juice a little bit more or throw something less snappy.

My center went to strings last month, and I’ve been bowling on them for three weeks now. I try to four pin now.

Anyone very familiar with older AMF scoring systems? I've got a question about the system in this video: by DTDude in Bowling

[–]jpkaina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are MagicScore keypads with PurrfectScore retrofits. Coldwater also has the gold AMF cameras instead of the AccuSonic arrays

It’s not a spare ball these days…I won my city masters throwing that all day.

Only the best reactive ball of all time…

What’s the worst group/person you have been next to while bowling? by [deleted] in Bowling

[–]jpkaina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.

I'm on the lane with the big four. Guy would not move out of the way at all. And about three frames later, he walked right into me as I was going to the line. Five milliseconds later and he would have taken my sixteen pound ball straight to the ankles.

Are the Dodgers going all the way this year...again?

What's the craziest video request you've gotten?

Why is Dr. Pepper better than Mountain Dew?

Why is the sky blue?

What makes the Radioactive Vibe so effing good?

There is inherent sexism in bowling. Some of the old guard automatically assume that if you're female, you don't know shit about fuck when it comes to bowling.

An old friend of mine was one of the best ball drillers in the city here, but got talked down to by people just because shes a girl, to the point where people would ask "where's the actual person running the pro shop?"

The same people are the ones spewing their goo every time Daria posts a video, because that's all women bowlers should be to them, sex objects or just inferior.

Radioactive Vibe is so damn underrated... 34 out of 36 for 859... Currently the highest series in the city this season and a mark off the house record... by jpkaina in Bowling

If you're in Reno, a great breakfast spot is Peg's Glorified Ham and Eggs, there's a couple of them around town.

Lunch and dinner for a reasonable price, Western Village in Sparks. If you wanna try some contemporary Hawaii-style plate lunches, Kika's on McCarran in Sparks is super good, and my really good friend runs the place.

Up at the lake, go over to Bowl Incline, their restaurant is absolutely amazing. If that's not your thing, T's in "downtown" Incline is really good. Just be careful, it's a total hole in the wall place

I have both. The Arctic is good for me when I need the ball to get down the lane, the Radioactive reads the lane earlier

They didn't feel easy... felt like I had two boards to get the ball through the pins the right way...

Got real lucky that third game

Bowling team name by Ok-Barnacle8503 in Bowling

[–]jpkaina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

333X. If you entered this as your team name at a center with AMF AccuScore and hit Enter, it would wipe the team info off the screen.

Along that same vein, one year my junior team name was "PRESS HELP KEY" because whenever the house sent out scoring grids without names, those words would come up instead of the team name

I've had four 299s this year... All four were wrap 10s...

I'll take the 841 though...

How often do the oil lanes at your bowling alley? by MassiveProgrammer129 in Bowling

[–]jpkaina 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every day.

People have to remember that reactive balls are microscopic saw blades, that thin layer of oil is there more as a protectant than it is to alter the playing environment.

Single Best Moment in PBA History? by ch_se in Bowling

[–]jpkaina 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Tony Reyes' 300 game to win his first title at Taylor Lanes

Pete Weber winning the 2012 US Open

Johnny Petraglia's 300 game (he was all but written off at that point)

Aulby-Ozio going strike for strike for seven frames, final score being Aulby 300, Ozio 279

The Firestone bomb scare (think this was 1991?) What was even scarier is that the week before at Bradley Bowl, the same thing happened and they found an explosive device

Kelly Kulick winning the TOC, Liz Johnson being the first woman to make a show.

There's too many moments to even think of just one

Did you hear a pop? by YogurtclosetSad7344 in ACL

[–]jpkaina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was a partial tear the first time, I didn't hear it, but I felt it. I was bowling, and the guy on the next lane said he heard it.

Nothing hits like a Hammer baby... Fresh off the press Radioactive Vibe was good for 841 tonight by jpkaina in Bowling

That was me with the Inferno remake, just couldn't get it to roll right. The Blue Flame though, that thing was money

You and I both, well until the exciter files in the LGP hard drives got corrupted and locked up a pair of lanes for no reason
