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.. [youtube]...

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...
