Introduction


Here on this site you will find information that you did not know about, that you can use to improve your game. Because lets face it if you could improve your average by just 10 pins a game wouldn't you have more fun bowling? That's what this site is all about, spreading my years of knowledge to help others enjoy bowling as much as I do, and by doing this hope to grow interest in the sport of bowling. The information alone won't turn you into a pro, only hard work and practice to the tune of 50 to 100 games a week will do that.

Modern Bowling Release

With the advancement in bowling balls and the cover-stocks (outside shell) used on modern bowling balls it has been necessary to change how the ball is released to achieve the maximum power and pin carry to compete at a higher level. Something I have had to learn over the years because back when I started, the bowling balls were basically custom drilled house balls, just like the ones on the racks at bowling centers all over the world today. My how times have changed!
Here is a great video showing the new modern release needed to bowl at a higher level.

New High Tech Bowling Balls

This video shows a small glimpse into the vast technology that is designed and built into the bowling balls of today. As I have stated in previous posts, having your own ball drilled with a finger tip grip will increase your average substantially over the use of house balls. Also if you consider venturing into some of the more high tech balls  such as the one in this video you can increase your score even more. With a little practice of course. This video is very informative. Yes I love STORM bowling balls, they are the only ones I use. So yes I am a little biased, but some of the other ball manufacturers also make similar high tech bowling balls that are effective at increasing your score over using a house ball. I can not comment on this particular ball because I do not own it, YET. I can tell you that the OPTIMUS, of which I do have one of and probably will soon own several more with different drill layouts. The OPTIMUS is a ball that I am sure we will see more of down the road when it comes to the weight block inside being put into different cover stocks. I will spend just a little time saying that I only have a few games on this ball and already have had several games with 11 strikes in them. A 300 game is just around the corner and coming soon. The OPTIMUS is a smooth gradual arc through the heads with a controllable aggressive hook on the back-end making it a great ball for medium oil with medium length, although if you have a soft release or a little speed dominant you can also use it on drier lane conditions. Hope you enjoy the video.
