Any PA Bowlers?

Posted by Eric Correll on August 20, 2013 at 7:19pm

Alright so I am a new member and am extremely interested in joining a team if possible. Are there any teams based in PA that I can either watch or meet up with just to get the feel of things? I'm in college and may not be able to create or join a team right away, but it is something I want to look in to for the future. I am based around the Wilkes Barre area which is in northeast PA. Philly and NYC are about 2 1/2 hours away and willing to check things out.

748 Series with The Brunswick Seige

Posted by Bill Marks on February 6, 2010 at 2:22pm
Well this week I bowled better with a 748 series after a couple weeks of kind of struggling. I had games of 234+256+258 for the 748 series. I did have 2 open frames both were missed 10 pins. One in the first game and the other in the second, my third game was clean. I used the Brunswick Seige today with a 1000 abralon finish. The ball matched up pretty good today Even though the left lane was tighter than the right, I feel like I made the right ball choice

639 With The Ebonite Playmaker Today

Posted by Bill Marks on January 29, 2010 at 7:00pm
Today I had a 639 in our Friday morning league. I had five open frames this was the worst I had bowled for a while in this league, but I am nursing a tennis elbow problem, man it hurts. Well enough of the excuses I am not a 234 average bowler anyway. I had games of 232+205+202 for the 639. I did leave more 10 pins today and the carry has been tougher at this center the last three times I bowled there. In addition, I am in a little bit of a slump in all the centers I bowl in as well. I like the high scoring environment myself. I use the magic on the right lane and the playmaker left. I do think I used the wrong ball in the playmaker today, as the conditions seem to be more in and out to the dry rather than down to the dry.

Now my scores I was 105 over for the 5 game and had an open every game. I used my ebonite magic with a 2000 abralon finish on it. I was happy I bowled this month, but never cashed. I just had 2 many opens and to many bad shots. I am not bowling as much as I was 3 years ago ether.Ebonite MissionFree Bowling Tips

I will note I liked the Full Swings reaction at the pocket, the Reign was good the first game then game me some over/under.Free Bowling Tips

This Week Bowling Scores

Posted by Bill Marks on January 16, 2010 at 3:03pm
Well this week I bowled twice, one in my normal Friday morning league, then as a sub in a Friday night scratch league. Both outings were in two different centers. I had a 706 series Friday morning with games of 256+193+257 for the 706 I used my ebonite magic with 2000 abralon on the right lane and playmaker on the left also with 2000 abralon surface. Now Friday night I will say I do not match up well in this center on this league I had a 584 series with games of 193+213+178 for the 584 series. This shot seems playable but I feel like I am just A hair off or I almost got it figured out, but never do. Well I do not bowl there much so I guess that’s my excuse, but other bowlers tell me the shot is tougher this season in this league. I just do not match up well there. I used my playmaker with 2000 abralon too.Free Bowling TipsEbonite Bowling Balls

Ebonite Playmaker and Magic Combination This Week

Posted by Bill Marks on December 19, 2009 at 3:44pm
This week I had a 747 series in my Friday morning league. I posted games of 246+268+233 for the 747 series. I did have 1 open frames, all in my 3rd game, I left an 8, 10 pin split had and split in the 6h frame. I had a good look and broke the 3rd game jinks. I used my Ebonite Magic with 2000 abralon finish on right lane and an ebonite playmaker with 2000 abralon on the left., again I still think more people should use abralon pads than do they really keep a consistent bowling ball reaction.Free Bowling Tips and Techniques

701 Series This Week With The Brunswick Seige And Twisted Fury

Posted by Bill Marks on November 21, 2009 at 3:05pm
This week I was back to bowling after missing last week due to being sick. I had a 701 series in my Friday morning league. I posted games of 245+246+210 for the 701 series. I did only have one open frame a bad shot and left the big four on the second game. The lanes seem to be drying out the last game the last couple of weeks and I seem to lose my ball speed for a few shots. Well I used my Brunswick twisted fury solid on the left lane and the Brunswick siege on the right; both have 1000 abralon pads on them. Once again, I love these abralon pads if you do not have them you really should try them. They keep my ball reaction more consistent.Free Bowling Tips
