Looooove bowling there

I miss wood lanes

im 28 i quit league a few years ago but i still bowl at my center and i bowl with a friend at a different center but they are both house shots, the bad thing that you said not that many ppl are knowledgeable about the lanes and what oil condition it is and shit its just not consistent so i just would have to ask then see if my 4 bowling balls can get the proper lane condition reaction i want but normally at house centers the oil is the same thing every time but its not and it really sucks.

Same for me where I lived that all Tenpin Centers have shit maintenance except 1 Bowling Center I bowled at were pretty much had a great service despite their maintenance suck after all they made tons of money quickly than the others, well sadly those lanes are burned down but that place was just memorable and I’m hoping those Lanes will be rebuilt someday. I remember that I don’t come back to that center again cause making a decent average was just almost impossible on Wood Lanes for us Youth Bowlers. Not to offense Old School or Traditional Bowlers that Wood Lanes suck ass for me as a Youth Bowler, give Youth Bowlers some Synthetic Lanes any day.

Get a new ball, a magic ball of wonder must be will ing to travel to the land of m ordor and battle the gutter creatures of death and fight split headed gorgons and watch out for the pinsess of 10

Hi Dalton. If they’re stronger reactive balls they’re reacting on the back of the lane because synthetics are harder than wood lanes and are less textured. Wood lanes are softer and create more contact area with the surface of the ball so the ball has a larger footprint and more traction. This makes the ball reaction on wood lanes smoother with less overall backend motion.There are many good heavy oil balls from each manufacturer. For a current list look in the Bowlers Journal’s monthly publication for ratings and performance. Website link: www.bowlersjournal.com/ .Continue training your flexibility as often as possible and do dynamic stretches to warm up before bowling and static stretches when cooling down after bowling. Dynamic stretches warm the bodies core and get the blood flowing, static stretches extend the muscles past their normal range of motion.Dynamic stretches include: jumping jacks, running in place, arm swings, shoulder circles, controlled leg swings, side bends, torso twists, etc...Static stretches include: quadriceps stretch, triceps stretch, forearm extenders/flexors, neck/shoulder rotation, neck stretch, calf stretch, side stretch, etc.

Carter Street AMF is softer than Brunswick. More friction

@@benchristians3n I can see that based on how that urethane ball was hooking

+Nick Fifis $11 a game?!?!?! What a rip-off!

That's why I only go on league nights anymore. Depending on what league your in the prices vary. My league is $11 for 3 games, my team's in first place and Tuesday is our last night. I'm just hoping to stay there :p.

Also my league is changing to a no taps 9 pin league where 9 pins counts as a strike. It's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of, but the person who runs the league is a moron :(

Nick Fifis So basically, the scores won't be counting now since it's no-tap. Well that's stupid. If it really gets worse, switch to a different league.

We already are, it just sucks because we like the people in that league :/

My house is all open bowling. The ultimate test of concentration would be to bowl in the glow bowl. Music blaring kids screaming. I'm a better bowler cause of it

"chitty chatty Tom and Jane to your left and the birthday party of 4 kids to your right" - don't forget about the group of 10 students who cheer whenever more then 4 pins go down and the music, and the fact the lanes haven't seen oil in 3 months and the fact they allow outdoor shoes and the approaches are all messed up because of it. God I need to find a new bowling alley...

Strange as it might sound but bowling in a true solo environmemt is a lot like starring in a prono. The truth is there is a LOT more action than just you and her on the set. If you can perform under those circumstances then you really ARE the star.

It's not just about noise levels. It's about how your subconscious mind interprets those sounds. On an ordinary night at the local alley, your brain is filtering most of the sounds out because it has decided that none of it is aimed at stopping you from achieving your goal at that moment. That is, in all that noise, none of those people probably give two fucks about what you're doing and your brains threat detection system understands that. But, in a competition setting things are completely different. There are a lot of people focused and have stakes in what happens during any given frame. The brain also knows this is and interprets any noise or extraneous motion as a purposeful action to obstruct you in your path achieve your current goal.

Afro Manatee GRAMMAR******

yes bowling is fun

man I remember going to an alley like that in High School bowling it was absolutely horrid the ball would slide on the synthetic half, but when it got on the wood half the thing took off without hesitation so it was a lot of overshooting trying to play straight down on the outside or ended up under hooking when trying to throw it out on the outside I couldn't find a single middle ground to it

Just announced yesterday my bowling ally is closing.

The Casual Gamer oh I'm sorry, know the reason?

Yeah. A sports store paid the right price.

Hi. Moving up from the house ball to a high-performance ball can be an entirely different set of circumstances, as you’re experiencing. There are several adjustments you can make to accommodate the new-found hook.Here, in no particular order, are a list of options to help make this new equipment work for you. (These options presume you’re a right-handed bowler as the balls hooking to the left.)-Move your feet left-Move your eyes/target to the right-Increase ball speed, use footwork to do this-Decrease revolution rate, relax the hand positionAny of these or a combination of them can help adjust for a stronger ball motion. Remember also that you may want to consider a “spare” ball (less aggressive) for shooting right side spares, especially the 10 pin.

Yeah, i had the same issues. I was using the standards balls provided, then when i got the new reactive and a hook style grip my scores went down for a bit. Got some suggestions from an experienced friend and once i got use to the differences my scores are starting to improve again. You just need to give yourself enough time to adapt is all.

JoshDB1986 I would definitely look into going into 2 handed bowling. I had the same problem as a one hander but I never bowled straight. Bowling straight is not traditional bowling because it just doesn’t work. You get absolutely no angle to the pocket, and you commonly leave big splits. If you’re struggling right now, get a plastic ball drilled to fit you for 2 handed bowling. Hook will automatically come from the 2 handed release. Hope this helps.

I understand this may be a little late, but I used to do pretty much the same thing (besides the 214 lol). And my suggestion for you is not to switch to a two-handed style, as that would be a lot more work considering you are already used to bowling one handed. Now, my advice is to get yourself a custom bowling ball that has stats that seem like they match your playstyle (whether you have a lot of revs and speed or any other style). Have that ball drilled to fit your hand so that it’s comfortable. And if you feel like you’re almost gonna break your middle finger trying to hook the ball, then you’re probably doing something totally wrong with your release. You shouldn’t be twisting your hand all around or anything to make the ball hook. If you get a custom bowling ball and throw it a few times, you’ll find that the ball has its own hook. You don’t wanna try to force it. Just relax your hand in the ball and throw it normally. The ball will do all the work for you. The last pieces of advice I would tell you is to get fingertips in your bowling ball (they feel weird at first but once you get used to them you can’t bowl without them). Also, keep your wrist firm and follow through. Make the right adjustments and you’ll do fine. Good luck!

If you have a ball drilled to throw straight you're going to have a very hard and painful time hooking. You need a fingertip ball in order to put the rotation on the ball without worrying about snapping your fingers off

Try two finger without the thumb. Then just practice
