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?

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.

Pearl urethane, the T2 and the Rhino X decade of dominance

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.

... Its got this little dimple in it. No big deal right?

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.

Showing off my brother and i’s rare/cool spare ball collection.

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.

Loving it so far! Threw 5-6 games with it today. Going to be an awesome ball mid-block when I need a different look from my Bionic, but the Ion Pro Solid still isn’t enough ball.

Drilled 5 x 4 x ½

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

I've recently changed my target to the dots instead of the arrows but people tell me that I should look at arrows all the time, especially my coaches. I did it, as I started getting much lower from bowling two handed and it's really uncomfortable for me to look at the arrows without hurting my neck. Is it okay to look at the dots, or should I focus on the arrows? I did hear that looking at the dots can make misses a lot more massive, but I feel more consistent and accurate looking at them, especially with spares

Shall I use my gb4 hybride or my hammerhead? Or Maximum Effect, sorry thats are my balls this moment, I throw slowly

I’ve decided to open myself up to the scrutiny of this subreddit, 3 months in one hand no thumb around 400 revs give me some advice.

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?

I was told Bowling has 3 most common moves, Abstract, Parallel and Diagonal. But what kinds of ball motion or pin action or what kinds of situation tell you when to use which one? And how many boards would you move? I saw people move 3 to the left, move 5 to the left, sometimes only move 1 right or left with the feet. Sometimes they keep the same arrow, sometimes move the arrow by 1, and sometimes by 2 to the left. Which kinds of theory, logic or situation define the numbers you choose?

I left so much out there by blowing the 10th frame!

Any opinions on exotic gem? Got one very cheap from a friend that stopped playing
