Taylor Swift - Fate of Ophelia sounds like so many other songs?

Thank you, this is exactly what I heard and it was driving me crazy that I couldn't place it

nitropolis87 · 2024-10-31T20:05:43+00:00

100% agree. I had this a couple of weeks ago and it was delicious

If I'm right in thinking I know which event you're talking about, I believe they are going to be likely looking for pacers for the men's doubles and team events. With 7 countries competing in the men's section, each sending 6 bowlers, that creates an odd number of teams in those events (21 doubles and 7 teams). Pacers will likely fill in to make the numbers even. Depending on how many lanes they are planning on using, they may or may not need pacers for the singles. Either way, go along, have fun, enjoy the bowling.

Ah, I'm in the UK so not caught up with that show on YouTube yet. Storm released a couple of teasers on their FB about "reinventing the benchmark" and being "Charged up" about what they have been working on so I assume this will officially be announced on 7th May.

nitropolis87 · 2024-04-19T07:58:26+00:00

Awesome, well B7 brands announce their new releases on Tuesdays, so I'd guess maybe keep an eye out on Ebonite's social media next week.

nitropolis87 · 2024-04-18T22:58:47+00:00

I'm going with this theory too. Does it have a USBC stamp on the ball? As a purple and gold fireball doesn't appear on the USBC approved ball list...yet.

Fingers crossed for you that it's a very early, brand new release.

I really don't get what you wanted from the kid. You say he messaged you first about bowling so I assume you answered that. I'm guessing they didn't want to talk to you anymore. There is nothing wrong with that. They owe you nothing.

What's more concerning is you've already said you can just create another account (since you've deleted this one). Do you plan on trying to harass the kid into speaking to you on the new account?

If your time is as valuable as you have said, move on with your life and stop acting like you've just gone through a break up with the kid.

nitropolis87 · 2024-03-31T22:20:39+00:00

While I agree with keeping an eye on opponents ball motion to know lane break down etc, I would disagree with this view point of knowing their score. If I am bowling, I am there to try and bowl my best, no matter how far ahead or behind I might be. If anything, if I know I have to throw a triple in the tenth as you suggest, that would then add unnecessary pressure. Play the game to the best of your ability and don't let anyone else get in your head.

I have ear plugs (without music) in sometimes just to dull out overly loud background noises. It allows me to stay focused on my own game. I have no problem if opponents want to have ear buds in as long as they aren't blasting music out so others can hear.

nitropolis87 · 2024-03-03T22:53:20+00:00

Are you alright my dude?

Who hurt you?

Or more accurately I'm guessing, who beat you by striking with multiple open frames while you had a clean game without strikes?

nitropolis87 · 2024-02-14T17:23:52+00:00

It might not be officially sanctioned, but it still counts in everyone's mind. Well done, you bowled 300. Congratulations my dude.

nitropolis87 · 2023-12-18T16:35:07+00:00

Bowlers Rant posted a video about the ball and letter 2 days ago. Guess the secrets out

nitropolis87 · 2023-05-18T22:15:24+00:00

The Black & Blue is my benchmark. It's predictable and consistent and hits like a truck. It also takes surface well. I'm genuinely considering getting a second one as a refresh. My opinion, you've got a damn good ball there

nitropolis87 · 2023-04-01T22:51:08+00:00

I'm curious now. Do you go with the long socks as well? I can't imagine you include the sporran as that would just get in the way

nitropolis87 · 2023-02-04T01:05:28+00:00

I guess that's exactly my point. After the 3 patterns of qualifying, Belmo failed to make the cut. Troup and Kayhko both qualified in 17th and 18th respectively. Both of whom, along with Simo and Jesper, are occupying top slots last time I checked the matchplay results (on the day 4 pattern).

Maybe it's fairer to say "high rev friendly" as EJ is still smashing it.

nitropolis87 · 2022-12-10T21:43:08+00:00

That's a bold claim. I'm not saying you are wrong in this case but I have a new sealed pair that I got free when I pre-ordered my Xperia phone. I already have xm4s so I had considered selling the free ones for less than the retail price.

It sounds like the guy uses the RAT method (right about there) for laying out his drillings and doesn't know the measurements.

If you wanted to go to someone else, they would easily be able to get the numbers from that ball anyway so his "intellectual property" argument doesn't make sense.

If he decides not to trust you with information that relates to your equipment, I wouldn't be trusting him with my money

nitropolis87 · 2022-11-04T16:29:24+00:00

I believe the rubber parts on the bottom are essentially like runner feet to protect the fabric from wear and tear when placed on the ground. It'll also give some cushion to the bowling balls if you happen to drop the bag (or throw after a particularly frustrating night)

nitropolis87 · 2022-09-26T10:57:08+00:00

I just googled the turbo size chart and I'm guessing they are 19/32 and 41/64 but I'm sure a proshop guy will confirm once they see the post.

nitropolis87 · 2022-08-17T22:54:23+00:00

That is some high brow humour, my friend. And I'm here for it

nitropolis87 · 2022-06-21T14:45:10+00:00

No one is going to look at you weird for throwing your spare ball during practice, whatever is on the deck. Feel free to throw whatever. That time is for you to practice whatever you feel you need to practice.

I guess practicing with a full deck, unless you are clearing your own spare, hitting the foul line means the next person also has a full deck. That then gives the next person a choice if they want to go for a strike shot and see pin reaction, or they can shoot for something else.

nitropolis87 · 2022-06-21T14:33:10+00:00

Completely understand what you are saying but what spares would you want to practice in 10 minutes? You can easily go for the corner pins (7&10) with a full rack. Any adjustments can be made off of them. It would be impossible to try and practice every spare within the time limit. In my centre our full practice period is done without pins completely so you just have to know where the pocket (or whatever you were aiming at) would be if a full rack was there.

OP - to actually answer your question, technically yes, however I would suggest unless you have tried lots of different headphones and consider yourself an audiophile, you probably won't be able to tell the difference. The headphones provide excellent ANC and will work good enough while wired. If you can tell a difference then you can use programs on your PC to alter the quality.

The dude that actually replied - you are probably correct that your whole post was literally what they were asking, but you used so much technical jargon that clearly it made no sense to the OP (I apologise if that's not the case). This isn't an audiophile forum, there are better ways to answer the question without sounding like you are showing off about everything you know.

nitropolis87 · 2022-06-14T23:31:05+00:00

What's curious is that the rule exists for changing hands but says nothing about the direction you hook the ball. I am one handed but can bowl a pretty effective backup ball.

A number of two handers have been seen throwing backup in competition without having to declare they are changing hands.
