You make the cut yet Photoc?


Nope.  Bowling with a left knee and lower thigh injury is hindering my process.  Not able to put any weight on my leg in the slide and it's killing my release and speed.  I threw the chance tourney today and went 190, 236.  Open 8th and 9th in first game.  I get 20 pins hc, so 256 total is good enough to cash.  Would have been 5th yesterday.  Won all my brackets and got refunded a bunch because no one in HC is buying them.  They were supposed to move mine up to 205 division but they forgot to, so I was refunded a bunch.  90 brackets today in total were being run, not too bad.

My buddy has picked up a couple evolves at the tat


I grabbed an extra one with a longer pin (4") so I can drill it more aggressive.  I really like the Evolve so far.  I took the surface down to 1000 by hand today and had a great look, just wish I wasn't in so much pain.  I think I could make some good $ in brackets.

How are the lanes and how does the brackets work there?  Basic $5 buy in with a payout of $25 for first?   Are they scratch or handicap brackets in your division?  Oh, and what division are you in?

Fine don't believe me.  Go enter and see for yourselves.  A lot of people weren't happy and they ran out of Lanebreakers the first day.  They had a local distributor bring some in and they are gone as well.

Read above, I posted the lane condition.  Seems to be changing slightly because I was able to swing the ball yesterday and not able to the day before.  

8 to a bracket based on division.  $5 entry, 25/10 payouts.  $5 juice per bracket, standard.  If you''re in handicap and don''t get enough brackets, which has been the norm, you can "flip" yours up to 205/senior division and bowl scratch.

Don't forget that some of that money actually goes to a thing called a Prize Fund for which is the reason to buy the entry..  to win prize money, not "free" bowling balls..  you are still paying for the ball in some way..  Anyone have an entry fee break down?  How much are expenses and how much for prize?

Everyone Knows That !!

If I tell you U get 2 High End Ball and Give you 1 and a plastic to me thats F*up.
If they say 1 High End and A plastic I will I am ok with that but not say one thing and do another.

Also they will Move you to a diffrent division If you Bowl good !!! So as long as you bowl Bad and give them money they will look other way.

In retrospect, the website and entry form say 2 "Performance balls", not "High performance balls".  Technically, you can "perform" with a plastic ball.  They even had a PBA event called the Plastic Ball Championship, so the TAT isn't exactly giving out wrong information, just stretching the truth a little bit.

They won't tell you whats on the lane ! They just say modify house shot. I have bowl the TAT pass few years but now They are SHEETLIST in my books. I ask for refund now they want 5% process fee where other turnys will give you a full refund.

BOWLERS BEWARE of The TAT.


I talk to POS Ed all he say oh is a misprint. Oh you want a refund You loose 5% fee, but Ed I talk to you staff on phone before they say if you don't use your entry you get full refund!!! OH THEY LIE !! you Lucky if we give you a refund!!!
