I went bowling twice recently and shocked myself at how crap I was...save a few lucky shots.  I have made a resolution to try and roll more often and resolve this travesty!

I agree! In fact I called them "Cheaters"!

I was real happy to see they Finally got around to discussing wahsam since I have been after them for the last 6 months or so to discuss them.

I have been trying to get the word out about WAHSAM.  They are trying to keep these things a secret so you, or someone you know may be bowling on WAHSAM and not even know it!

Somebody on youtube made the comment that while the USBC doesn't have a rule against them, it doesn't support them either. I think that's telling. They recognize that it's not ideal, but they don't want to anger the lane owners.

That was my comment. I have two YouTube channels.
As soon as I found out about the WAHSAMs I wrote the USBC. I get the feeling they would like to do something...but cannot.

Talk about Bowling...not only did our team make the semis dudes...but we won the Championship. ;D
We took first place for the second half and had a roll-off last night for the league Championship...needed to win 2 out of 3 games bowled over 3 sets of alleys.
Had a 224 the first game, but could only manage a 172 the second game but it was enough to help my team take the first two games by a few pins and send the other team home early.
I am happy to win and all, but I am more happy I did not choke.
Now I got a senior pro-am on the 21st where I'll be bowling with Wayne Webb, Walter Ray Williams Jr, Tom Baker, Bob Chamberlain and the Great Johnny Petraglia.
Just hoping I don't throw a gutter dudes! 8)

I started bowling a Sports Shot summer league at a different house a few weeks ago. It's the only Sports Shot league in my area. We are bowling on all the different "Animal" oil patterns the PBA uses. It's at Haja Lanes and I started another YouTube channel for our 20 man league.
http://www.youtube.com/user/HajaLanes?feature=mhee
So far we bowled on the Cheetah for 3 weeks and just started the Chameleon this week.
I'm not doing so good right now dudes, but then I been recording videos more than I have been actually bowling.
Anyway, that's what I have been up to lately.

I suck at it as well, Chrispy, but to me it's not about winning anything. It's a really relaxing activity for sure

Not quite; it was a reply to cckeiser's post way up there. A WASHAM is a bouncy wall/gutter, making the pins bounce like chihuahuas on speed. It makes it easier to score higher on bowling lanes.

Post by: milnie on August 27, 2013, 03:16:30 PM
Ah now I get it. The place I use to bowl had big inflatable sausages that sat in the gutters for kids.
One of the worst places I bowled in the pins were held up with string so it was almost impossible to get a strike
