Lets talk monkey-tails, I mean string-pins!
We want to know what our bowers are thinking about this technology.
One option offers a controlled, master precision, almost zero pin calls, next to no labor or mechanic needed, and the other offers excitement with seekers, messengers, tomahawkers, cartwheelers, dancers, deadwood, and out-of-ranges, off spots, pile-ups, and a potential for shutdowns.
String versus freefall. Some would say, real versus fake.
There are very real pros and cons with both methods of mechanics and technology.
We are interested in your thoughts; make sure you say whether you prefer open play or league bowling, too!
Have you ever bowled where they had sting pins?

The pigeon has arrived! Here's !

A few summer leagues to report on, beginning with the PBA Pattern League. Pattern the first two weeks has been the USBC Queens, which can be high scoring, but it’s no house shot!

The women went AWOL during week #1, so just the guys’ scores, where two-handed lefty Taj Forney ripped 255, Damion Loop spun 214, and two-handed righty Tyler Bissell flipped a couple of deuces—204 and 202. For series, Forney’s 615 earned bragging rights, followed by Bissell’s 595.

For week #2, Forney seemed to like this pattern, running away with series of 652, powered by three deuces, 221 being the max, Alex Hamilton recovered from last week to score 226 and 613. For the ladies, Carla Miller rolled 200.

I also have two weeks’ worth of numbers for the Have a Ball league—and there are two of them! Jim Adams blasted 247 and 673, Rick Oliver tossed 200, and Brenda Overstreet checked in with a 202 game. This pattern is the less forgiving house shot, so scores will tend to be higher. Bowl on them both and find out how hard the PBA shots are!

For the second week, Adams again led scoring with 204 and 559, and Steve Rossa notched 192. Carla Adams was tops for the ladies with 152 and 416.

A second Have a Ball league will begin on Sunday the 7th.

The Juniors are close to wrapping up their 33 weeks of bowling, and Charlie Oliver flattened 257 and 638, Keagan Dubach pitched 215/588, and Evanii Long paced the girls with a hefty 192 game.

At press time, information on the second PBA pattern was not available.

If you’ve read this far, you’re all caught up! Now go enjoy some sunshine, then come back and work on your game to get YOUR name in lights!

See you at the lanes!
