Why Your Bowling Ball Changes Performance (Lane Shine)
This is Ron Hickland talking about lane shine. Basically he says the main cause of "lane shine" is not so much the lane (though that does contribute to it some), But everything else the ball is rubbing against after it leaves the lane surface, Such as the ball return system etc..

Re: Leagues with underage bowlers now required Safesport
As someone already stated, age exclusion can be voted on in league meetings. Perhaps League officers should consider promulgating this information so as to minimize blindsiding members. We had our league meeting tonight and the local Assoc. addressed this and our league voted in only bowlers 18+ co...

Leagues with underage bowlers now required Safesport
Ok something new for leagues to worry about,underage bowlers. Here's the TL;DR version. If a adult league let's a under 18 player join the league (which maybe unlikely to happen, but it could), everyone on that league would be required to take a 2 hour class on how to not molest the underage players...

Re: BB surface those in the know.
So on the latest CTD video, Ron claims all balls eventually end up with a 4700 grit surface, no matter what. Some questions for those that are in the know: - Is that a true statement? I have seen Ron measure the surface of lane shine balls and they all appear around that 4700 mark. For the most par...

I guess I am confused on what Lady A did wrong that would require any action at all. Lady "A" was the complainer, Everytime Lady "B" started getting hot throwing strikes. She would complain to the officals that Lady "B" was delaying the game by waiting for her ball to return instead of just using a...

the heck is that Turtle Wax stuff? Does it apply a wax coating on the ball? That would screw everything up, wouldn't it?

Solid vs. Pearl Bowling Balls with the same surface compared
Okay this video was just supposed to be showing that you could sand pearls and polish solids plus shilling CTD and Trucut products. But what it winds up showing is that there is basically no difference between Solid and pearl versions of the same ball with the same surface texture on it. They used a...

Equipment Spec's has ruled to suspend the 3 unit rule!
Short version is the USBC finally listened to everyone, studies the situation etc. and figured out the current lane dressing rules no longer work with todays ball technology. So they are suspending the 3 unit minimum rule and sitting back to watch what happens, then figure out what to do from there....

I have almost all the BTM issues except just a few of the very first ones and the last 2 or 3.
