If enough people do backwards bowling, maybe it could save the bowling industry!! So many people are attracted to such a style, which convinces people to spend more time at the lanes. I betcha if the owners of the bowling alley learned to bowl backwards, and then advertised it, people would not only watch it, but they would spend more money at that business. It would also attract some low income people, just looking to find some opportunity.

Everyone has thier own style of bowling and this is this man's. Yesterday when I was trying out my new Urethane 14 pound ball, these girls(hot ones though) were doing horse play as they were stepping on the lanes, accedentally rolling thier balls into my lane at times, and throwing it at the pin sweep. That's horseplay to me.

I know enough to know when I get a light hit (or Brooklyn) I don't want to make it a habit for the night. But I also know a little "b" isn't placed on the score sheet for Brooklyn or a "l" for light. Move 3 boards to the right for Brooklyn, 3 to the left for light hits. If you are consistently leaving a 10 pin (7 for you lefties) take a half a step forward of backward on the approach. But since I am not a member of the Bowling Gestapo, "Any Strike is a Good Strike."

The Tornado's have the "hockey puck" core at the opposite end of the pancake. You won't get a lot of reaction out of that ball unless you keep it in the dry all night. The reactive resin coverstock will get you some movement but don't expect a huge amount of break if the lanes are medium to heavy oil.

you know, when you thing of the mechanics of bowing its actually makes sense hes very good bowling backwards as the arm is straigher creating close to a perfect arc of motion which translates into straighter and stronger launch. lamens term.. think of drawing a circle on a chalkboard with your full arm extended instead of your arm being bent, the full extended motion of the arm will always make a near perfect circle. get it now?

A strike is worth 10 plus however many pins you knock down in the next 2 shots. You get an extra 2 shots in the 10th frame if you strike with ur 1st ball in order to determine the strike's value. Therefore 12 strikes make up a 300 game.
