Good ideas. However, in the future could you please do these TWO
things:
1. Please don't do "multipost" of the same reply - wait for the system
to tell you when you've succeeded or failed.
2. Please GRAMMAR-CHECK your posts! you have quite a few HOMONYM
ERRORS (i.e., "peace" for "piece", "hole" for "whole") in the post I'm
replying to and spell-checkers WILL NOT flag grammar errors. :)
Take care and I hope your New Year is going well for you... :)

the hard thing to do is practice bowling the so called right way
as it is boring
a foot ball team dose not practice a hole game they just practice a
peace of the game. or certain plays.
a base ball team splits up its practice and hits balls and catches
balls
so in bowling maybe we should do the same thing
a game of strike balls
a game of 10 pins spares
a game of 7 pins spares
and so on
this is a very hard thing to do as it is really boring
but it helps ive tried it

Did both LEAGUE and recreational bowling over the Christmas break.
Like you, I saw lots of "action" in my center, customer-wise.
Thankfully, my home center has a fairly large "cache" of 6#, 7# and 8#
balls available.
Too bad I saw (and see) a lot of teen male "showoffs" trying to
impress(?) people with those balls. Thankfully, I've yet to see one
destroyed.
One good thing about the "noise, etc." of a full house: it helps me
work on my MENTAL concentration! :)

I run through a transition every night in league, they run the machine
the full length and apparently strip the backs each day. So at first,
we get jumpy backend, only to later have soft backends, due to the
carrydown from a large number of folks throwing plastic down the
middle.
It's an interesting transition every night. :)

The oil at this place doesn't move much after warm-ups and the first couple
frames. The track dries out in the normal way, but there's virtually no
carrydown.
I was led to believe it's a better quality oil that doesn't move, and the
guy who owns the place knows his oil, but I'm no authority.

Thought I'd revisit this a bit, I got bored today and did a search.
Found a few posts in 1999 from me, using my real name (Ed Ranfelt), as
opposed to the NRJyzr ID I also use.
I also apparently caused a scheist-storm making a facetious comment
that some took seriously. Bad Ed, no treat. LOL

BTDT...joke 'em if they can't take a.......whatever.
to your point about older balls,,,,I tossed a 300 this season with a Track
Stomp, which hasn't been cleaned or resurfaced in a couple years. That ball
was new in what...2002? The house I'm at this year is rough on balls, so
I'll refinish it and get new grips. Otherwise, the backends are so clean
that mellow balls react great. The guys with aggressive stuff can't control
it.

Man, how things quickly get away from you around the holidays.
Doesn't seem like it's been as long as it has since I last visited.
Guess I haven't been doing my part as much as I'd intended at first.
LOL
I remember briefly checking in a few years ago and seeing some hair-
raising nasty spoofing going on, and just backed on out. Until
recently. :)
To make a bowling-related comment, as I'd mentioned (I think I did
anyway) earlier, I'm now bowling again in a mixed league after four
years off. Very much feeling like a fish on a bicycle, until a few
weeks ago, when I threw the front 7 for a 258 and a 620something
series. Followed that up with a 674, and another 620something, felt
like I was redeveloping a clue.
Until this past Friday when I shot 555. LOL
Yes, the Bowling Goddess both giveth and taketh away. ;)

An interesting negative social statement but not accurate. What has
happened is that people have migrated from the usenet newsgroup forums
and text based format to the more user friendly HTML web based forums.
It was a natural evolution. There are far more people posting in
bowling web forums than there ever were in ASB at it's peak in the
mid-1990s.
The website I frequent, and one where many ex-ASBers can be found, is
Ball Reviews. It started as an equipment forum but now has all sorts
of other topics that folks may find interesting. I stick mostly to the
Roto Grip forum.
http://www.ballreviews.com/
The forums at Bowl.Com (USBC sponsored) also get a lot of traffic and
if you are an aspiring pro or just like to follow the PBA, then the
PBA forums may be of interest.
I'm sure there are others but those are the one I look at most often.
I still like ASB because of history and sentiment.

This was one of the all time best ASB threads ever. Wild Bill Rollins
(tm) arguing with Brunswick ball rep Ric Hamlin about preferred spin
axis. To this day I am convinced that Bill had no idea what he was
arguing about and was just seeing if he could get Ric's head to
explode. Ric bowled nationals with us around that time and he just
couldn't believe that anyone could be so uninformed and unable to be
taught. It was hilarious. Heck, I just laughed out loud thinking about
it.
Ahh, memories....

I stumbled onto asb in '95 and had a slew of questions for Dr. Curran who
helped me tremendously. Thanks, Mark.
I had a little run in with Bill about a 6-ball carrier
I sent him a check for, and never recieved it. We had a couple of posts
with differing opinions about it and he claims he gave the $ to a buddy of
his who was down on his luck and had a help fund going. So I let it drop
and and let him slide. It was a $50 lesson on buying through the usenet
without
actually knowing the other party! For a while there some punk was baiting
Bill
about anything but bowling and it was funny as heck, but not very
productive.
I still read asb almost daily, but sometimes weeks go by without nary a
post!
Since there isn't much going on, I haven't posted in months. Where is
everybody
going besides here? I'd sure like to get some more serious bowling
discussions
going again too...

I'm not giving up on this group. I just don't seem to have much to add. The
past 5-6 years my knees have been getting worse and as they crumble so does
my scores. I went from 10-15 years of carrying a 200+ average to the 150's
now.
I had my right knee replaced last Spring. They both needed it, but the
doctor would only do one. If any of you are in that position, do the left
knee first. I don't know where my head was, I don't remember doing any odd
gymnastic contortions that day, but it must have been you know where!!!
I'm holding on now for a Spring replacement of the other knee. Maybe
when I get my base under me I'll raise my average. In the meantime, I still
coach three leagues of Youth bowlers. That is fun as always.

Thanks for the welcome. I will try to do my part. :)
Back in the day, I went by the same NRJyzr (occasionally "Ed") in my
gmail ID. I wasn't as active as the more famous folks, but posted
here and there. Was on the learning end, instead of the knowledge
end, at that time. ;)
Had a few exchanges with Lisa and Angel (who I may have seen at the 95
ABC in Reno), Eric J in Nebraska, bought a few balls from assorted
guys (Tony in NJ coming to mind), etc. I remember reading posts from
Aki, though don't remember much direct interaction; it's nice to see
he's still around online.
1998 might have been around the time I drifted away from ASB. I
developed a golf habit that year, and as I remember it, the spammers,
flamers, and assorted disgusting spoofs were becoming more of an
issue.
How long did Bill keep his sig about bowling balls (IIRC again) not
having an axis? LOL
Thanks again for the welcome.

I think some of those guys still read here, but not many post. Maybe they'll
take the time to say "Hi." I'm going to forward this to our Internet League,
some of them bowl in it.
When I came in Bill was signing something about wanting to trade a good
boat for a woman, or something like that. We haven't heard from him in a
while.
We had a couple ugly flamers and spammers a few years ago and a lot of
people quit responding. Maybe this can get back to real bowling talk.

Hello new person. I'm an old person who hasn't been here in 8-10
years, just coming back to the game after four years off.
Nice to see ASB still running.
Anything that would be a favorite of mine is going to be old, so
ignoring the new stuff of which I know nothing, I'll say the old Tidal
Wave Wipeout. :)
side note: Read back a few months where NimBill was discussed a bit,
brought back a lot of memories. I seem to remember he had MD or MS,
or something similar, wondered how he was getting along these days.
Any of the ladies who were here in the 90s still around?
with apologies for the threadjack portion of my post....

On Thursday (last week), I had some success at AMF Hiester Lanes with
an old Columbia 300 Shadow/R. On Friday, I did better at Bowl O Rama
with my "newest" ball, a four-year-old Ebonite Savage.
