Talk Bowling – Episode #0046

Tony and John say goodbye to Brian Halstrom and wish him well.  We then answer questions about ball speed compared to ball type.  As a lower speed, lower rev player, you should probably use a pearlized bowling ball or add polish to your other bowling balls.

Talk Bowling – Episode #0043

We had a question from a viewer about his ball reaction.  He said it was hooking to early (or too much) and wanted advice.

Talk Bowling – Episode #0042 – Static Imbalances

We had a question form a viewer that we wanted to answer:

Q) Some people a adamant about have side weight, or finger/thumb weight in their layouts. Does this really change bowling ball reaction?

A) This is a great question. We are still bound to bowling ball layouts based on the USBC rules for static imbalances. Basically, there can be no more than one ounce in any direction from the midpoint of the grip. Any studies have shown that static imbalances do not really affect bowling ball reaction. Watch this episode to hear us discuss it.

 

Talk Bowling – Episode #0041 – Colleges and Universities

On this episode, we answer a couple of viewer questions.

1) I am a medium-high speed bowler, 17-18 mph, 300 rev rate and I play on 37 ft of pure heavy oil so which of the following balls is good for me?  Roto Grip Mutant Cell, Lane #1 Massacre Red Death, or Brunswick Siege?

2) Are there any colleges or universities that teaches bowling and the bowling industry?

There were both great questions, and I hope we did a good job of answering them.
