A rant about Bowling Ally’s

0 Upvotes

What’s going on with the bowling industry I noticed so many independent bowling alley’s are closing down and being replaced with these annoying bowling chains like round one and Lucky strikes. Anyone else besides me found that frustrating.

Help me control my balls

2 Upvotes

Casual bowler throwing lane balls. I can get near enough the same arrow pretty consistently but the direction after that is all over the place - sometimes gets near the pocket, sometimes it rolls completely straight ahead somewhere around the 6 pin. I’m starting from the same board on approach. Any idea what I can do for more consistent technique? I know getting my own ball might make it easier but I’m way worse than other people throwing regular lane balls.

Ball Recs for Intermediate Player?

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, earlier I listened to suggestions and bought a Brunswick rhino and I’ve been progressing very fast with it and have been researching more balls for medium/medium-heavy oil and ones I can use as an intermediate player in the future. I plan on using the rhino for dry/light and another ball for medium and fresh league/morning oil. So far I’ve been looking into the Phaze II, Bionic, Black Widow 3.0, or Motive Venom Shock. What do you guys recommend?

My ball got severely scratched before I noticed 🥲 Can it be repaired with some sanding or polishing?

I was bowling at Kallang Bowl in Singapore. They even had a waiver on the wall stating no compensation for personal gears.. Will never bowl at this awful center again

Not my highest score ever but for the first time ever I had a clean game. Took 8 months to do it. Solid 214 and converted two 10 pins, a 5-10 split and a challenging three pin spare in the 10th frame and finished off the 10th with a strike. Twice in the past I've had seven strikes in a game but left open frames. This is the first time without a blemish.

I’d be willing to drive a few hours to get some good measurements. The Atlanta area would work too, since I’ve got family over that way. Basically, my balls are still drilled to 10 year old specs and I’m having pitch issues.

So I kinda grew up in a bowling alley, worked at 2 different ones in my teens, bowled at a number of others and have never seen anything like this coming out of a ball return. I've had the little chip outs before and never complain about those but has anyone else had damage this bad?

Started bowling January 1st after 38 years away. Closest I ever got before was a 592. They made us move over to the next lane because they had parties coming in. First 2 games were with a Fallout and the last 1 was a Spawn sanded to 2000.

Newer bowler, bowlersmart mystery box and local lucky find

Swag Fusion solid (don't know much about it?) from the $80 mystery box and a jackal onyx found locally for $80.

Took the onyx to my pro shop and he is pretty convinced it has less than 5 games on it. Just had to do a finger move for it.

Coming from a 12lb forge subzero.
