Maybe we can get Pchee back in, since I removed the NPA.

PK......
I am heading to Cali the weekend of Nov. 8th to go to my sisters wedding, and plan on stopping some where in vegas that Friday in hopes of finding someone willing to take time and show me what I am doing wrong, as well as drop the weight of my equipment. In my old age, the 16#ers are just beating me up to much and its taking longer each week to recover. I am dead set on dropping the Columbias also and seeing what I can switch to.
Anyone ever been to Wayne Webbs pro shop??? And if so, what did you think?
Or is there someone else you recomend who can and will give me some help.
I am also looking for someone to figure out what my ball speed is and rev rate, so I know this info for myself.
HEY??!!
Anyone close to Victorville???? Maybe get together and bowl a few games Saturday morning Nov 8th??? I need to be finished by 1PM so I can make it to the wedding.

Its time to trade in the high dollar balls for something cheaper. Heck, I can throw anything else just as well.

Stick with it man, it will get better. Dropping weight may be a good idea. I dropped to 15# a few years ago and it helped me gain a little more speed, lift and control. I don't know about the Webb Pro Shop, but Webb has been an outstanding Pro Bowler for many years, so I would guess he or his reps at the Pro Shop will be of help to you.
Enjoy the wedding!!

I dropped to 15 lbs. as soon as I started a weekly league.
I bought a new 16 lb. Columbia WOW this summer to see if going back up would help. It hasn't worked for me so far.
I don't have a coach either, but did join a beginner's league last year where they taught you the basics of bowling. That and the knowledge that I have gained from this website have helped me out alot in understanding how to correct most of my bad habits.
Unlike most people on here, it took me about 3-4 years to go from a 143 average to a 160/170 average. It will take time, so don't get discouraged if it doesn't all come at once.
I was just kidding about dropping the Columbia's, I've heard that the WOW is a good ball, I just don't throw it right.

They kicked our buts by 108 the first game.
We came back and took the next two and missed series by 18.
Took 4 out of 7.
Back to the bottom this week.

152-139-162=453. I even left the lily in the second game. Got the 5 and 7 but not the 10. One of those nights. Going back to using the wrist brace, need a few more revs.

The last time I left the lily, I got rid of the ball I was using. Of course it wasn't the ball's fault, because my husband now owns it and doesn't even leave the 5 pin!
Whenever I have a bad night, the song "Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This" comes to mind.

I think we should just give TP enough time to either get back in the water at the top of the barrel (185) or show that she has evolved into a permanent air breather (over 185). If she sustains the average for say 6 week, then she's out and all her winnings are forfeit and she is removed both the weekly challange and the stats until/unless her average falls of it's own accord back down to the level of the barrel.

I agree with RooCat, you can't kick out our almost guaranteed female leader of the barrel. Give her time to come to her senses and become one of us again. Six week should be enough time.

I thought this was all in fun and my comments were just that, all in fun. I really didn't think anyone was going to kick anyone out until the end of the season. I was wrong so as you said "rulz is rulz" so I'm outahere.

I once mentioned that maybe we should raise the bar for the BOTBC -- to perhaps 190-195? I also don't think that anyone should be ejected until the season's over. Just my 10 cents.

Post by: CB on October 20, 2003, 02:22:59 AM
TP you are right, it is a graduation out of the barrel. It's just this was fun last season. Maybe you and Debs, soon to be ousted too, can start our own competition. What's funny is I don't have higher than a 185 in either league. But due to this starting before my winter league started and having to miss a session, my BOTBC average exceeds my league averages.

I am not one to kick anyone out of the barrel either regardless of their over-achievements. I treat this as fun(when I win). I think the great part of this little tournament is when one of us struggling players actually puts a good series together and gets to trash someone else a little.
I am waiting for the day when Ed beats OutaSync or TP and gets to brag about it.
You never know.........

Bowl for Beer, I learned to bowl when I was about 7-8 years old. A nice young married couple volunteered their time to teach us inner-city kids. We first learned by standing at the foul line using the pendulum swing. Then we learned a 4-step approach. He told all of us to buy simple wristbands as well. This was a long, long time ago (about 41 years).
I've given up trying to teach anything to my husband. He has a decent enough average, but falls off every shot, and you can hear a "thunk" every time he lets go of his ball.
To all in the BOTBC, can't we all just have fun and get along? TP and OutaSync -- please, please don't leave us.

Post by: ThongPrincess on October 20, 2003, 05:49:59 PM
Maybe I should post my lowest series for the week, rather than just using my Monday night league scores. I actually decided on my Monday scores since it was not my home center Maybe it should be, I'm averaging higher there than in my home center.BTW Mike, the lily would get you $100 at the Hoinke, just for leaving it

It took me 24 years to leave one and I hope I never see one again for the next 24 years.As long as it won't cause any problems, I will continue to post scores. I just don't want to be where I'm not wanted. This is supposed to be a fun, trash talking place. I would like to see Ed beat all of us here.
Ed, I went to 15# equipment in January and it hasn't hurt my game. My decision came when I had the opportunity to get 2 free bowling balls from bowling a pro-am. I figured the only cost was for drilling. It has been worth it. I can add the speed to the ball when the lanes are dry and take some of the hook off the ball. I wasn't able to do that with the 16#.

Maybe it should just be the guys in the barrel, you don't see us squabbling over high scores and such.
I can't believe I just wrote that!
I really don't want to turn this into a pickle barrel
, and it isn't fair for us bottomfeeder's to raise the averages to 195. (Suck it up man, who said life was fair??!!)Oh, what a quandry!
