Also the pivot step (step before slide) is to big , make it smaller, this will give a flat spot to make delivery of the ball more co...

Re: USBC New Ball Specs

This is what I see happening: Tournament does not have to be sanctioned and the tournament manager has the final say. If it is sanctioned by the USBC, the changes would be enforced. Ok, but what if its under WB, so it has to be sanctioned..i am talking about a major comp, world wide bowlers. Also I...

Re: No more motion hole

If a balance hole that removed part of the core was then plugged, with the plug being of lighter material, would the inbalance still be there?

Re: USBC New Ball Specs

A balance hole was used to make the ball legal, if that balance hole is filled, the ball is now still legal because of the new static weight rules...correct?

Pro's coach's?

Who coach's the pro's?
Just a query after some discussion in our Saturday morning coaching session.
Do they have a regular coach, and if so who are they?

Re: wet sanding vs regular

I wet sand by hand in the sink and it comes out dull.

So if dry sand lighlty, with a 2k grit, that will show after scanned to be just over, most spinn...

constant 7 10 leave

Our centre on lane 4 is often leaving the 7 10, about 5 times in the last 2 weeks.
Is there a issue here? pins off their spot?

tape on pin

I listened to Mo mention he puts tape on the pin to see how the ball rolls. Would this be better then tape on the pap? It would be easier to see when the ball is getting in its roll to the pocket.

Create a relaxed environment. Watch for phrases that can create stress and tension. Don't say "Come on, we need a mark!". Instead, say "Take your time, stay relaxed. Make a good shot." stevespo, your comment above says alot, the team mates putting pressure on the bowler makes it...
