This week is a seller that gets alot of attention. Always great service on the quality designs from Mo Pinel at Morich bowling. Save a huge percent over original retail, and still get some return policy if needed. Plenty to choose from, so it was hard to pick a single ball. The Awesome Flip is a great deal, as well as the Weapon of Mass Bias

Up Your Alley Pro Shop. Big E Approved!
In this economy, no one can afford to go bowling… Right?? Not as I have seen lately… If you go to any bowling center on a weeknight, they are all still rocking right along! It seems that many have noted that the cash based business is doing well.
With its fairly cheap cost, most can still go out for a game or two. The league players are not about to give up a position for 12-15 bucks a week. It seems people find money for the things they enjoy, no matter how tough things get. Good time to be a bowling center owner!!
It was just noted though this week that a top customer service rep for Brunswick, Ric Hamlin lost his job due to cost cutting measures. He was well known throughout the industry for his RICO drilling style, and great customer service skills. It’s a shame when service and time with a company begin to mean nothing.
In every hobby, especially bowling, you will always find a dollar that is being spent. It may slow down, but it will never die off. Too many people have too much time and money invested their bowling gear to just let it go. Hopefully we will see a re-birth, a renewing of the industry, as we try to move forward from the lull we seem to be in now.
Please release me, let me go…. Ok, enough sappy 70′s music! Unless you are into doing the Machuga Flop, releasing the bowling ball is key to a good game. Unfortunately, mine was extremely inconsistent.
I found a great practice idea, that has really helped me in my off time. You just need a mattress, as low to the ground as possible. I used just the top part of my spare bedroom one. Lay it down with plenty of cushion against the wall. Practice doing 1 or 2 step releases, paying attention to your follow through, and wrist position. Before long, muscle memory will start to learn, and it will start to feel like a normal movement. You can practice with all the different wrist variations, as well as side vs forward roll releases. A lighter bowling ball is easier to practice with, but I use my standard 15 lb league favorite (Brunswick Fury Pearl, benchmark ball).
If you have room for it, a full approach is ideal. I can’t quite get there upstairs. Perhaps I can build a small approach with ball catch pit, to satisfy some off-lane practice. Everything you do to build a consistent delivery seems to help the game. The more you can NOT think about it, the better you will bowl!!
Yup! You read it right! A 189 scratch! (Thats good for me!!) After a decent warmup, and a 176 first game, I kicked some pins! With the handicap that was in place from my first few weeks, I had almost a 300 game. The other team shot terrible, and totally thought I was sandbagging.. Nope, I just had a good oil game. The third game was terrible (102!) as I forgot to adjust. Ended up about 3 boards over by the time the game finished.
We still took all 8 points that night, even with a player gone. I felt bad, but I had a honest good game. I was able to take some of what I had learned and applied it to the game. Felt good to get 3 in a row for the first time in a league game. Next week my handicap should drop and I will be more competitive with the others. I was afraid they were gonna take me to the ball return and “Munson” me!!! 
I used my Brunswick Fury Pearl, at 4000 grit abralon, drilled to go long and strong… It worked really well all night, I just need to adjust when it dries up. With my stroker style, it makes a nice quick backend arc to the pocket when I line up right. Give it too much loft or crank it any, and lookout, its goin right (I’m a leftie!)
Stay tuned for next week, see if I can keep it up!
