Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I was looking at the roto grip website and seen a ball called the Domain.I was wondering if I could buy one of these bowling balls from bowlingball.com.If i can't then how could i buy one.
I belive dont quote me my grandpa answered this for me… The national bowling association in 1875. And yeah Earlier boys the best!
I feel that a contest would be a good idea and that if you do run a contest make it that every eligable entry wins some thing from a key chain, shirt, or ball.P.S.thanks!!
I checked with Storm a while back and a product rep mention that they have found that sometimes the super glue can actually have a chemical reaction with the coverstock (actually heats up because of they are two different chemical compositions) and that's why they have recommended gluing at the core or inner shell and avoid the coverstock. Also if the finger bridge is too close (no less than 3/8") it can contribute to bridge cracking thus weakening that area. WW
On a different subject. You guys get a chance to throw all the new balls for review purposes. I was curious is there really an actual "break-in" period for new balls before they really start working well? Any tips to get through the initial breaking in phase? And last, do you guys throw the video reviewed balls ahead of time to get used to a ball or break it in before the video is shot? I just bought the new Storm Prodigy and was told it may take a few weeks before it really starts to work well. Thanks in advance.
I don't understand why these guys take on the job to do this. They never come out with new episodes on a weekly basis and whenever they do have a new episode they say sorry and say that they are back when they really aren't. I've been watching these guys for a year now and they have never been on a regular pattern. We wait all the time in between episodes and all we get is a ten minute video. I don't understand the ten minute limit and why they can't have longer videos.
J.J.,
I completely understand you. And you are correct, we should be on a regular pattern for our show. I am actually in the office early today getting setup to shoot the next episode.
I did tweet out last week another apology. I will mention your comment on today's show and we will try to explain.
It might be helpful to storyboard new themes for future productions and generate an advanced release schedule (monthly, bi-monthly, weekly) so site visitors and Talk Bowling advocates can know when new episodes will be available? Talk Bowling has potential to provide very useful information to viewers and perhaps this notion should be taken to the next level as John's message suggests? Thanks.
