How Everything Works

Hi everyone, this is derrick and he is the assistant manager at andover lanes. he has been in the bowling bussiness for about eight years now and i just asked him about the kinds of equipment there is in a bowling alley and how they really work.

Poll

in this new poll i asked wheather or not you could handle getting 12 strikes in a row for a 300. now that may not sound like that many but it really is. ive onle been able to get 9 for a 278 at the end but 12! thats alot. if you really think you can do it prove it to me. ive seen peole that have been bowling for 30+ years and the still cant get that perfect 300.

Wes Malott is the king!

Wes Malott is pne of the best bowlers in the PBA, and he is the only one who has been able to bowl not one but TWO perfect 300 games in the same tournament back to back.

Chris Paul invitational SUPER CLASH

the chris paul invitational is pretty much a tournament where the PBA pros can bowl with some celebritys. this is just a little thing they did where all four of the celebs took on PBA pro Rhino Page. and the rule of this are, lowest pin count is eliminated so if you knock over the least amount of pins in a frame your out.

This is how you bowl!

these guys have way to much time on their hands, i bet theyve tried these one hundred times before and just happend to get the good ones on camera. haha

Bowling Trick shots 2010

i want to do something like this soooo bad but im not sure if the ccenter i bowl at will let me because they are under new managment. still a cool video though

Mika Koivuniemi

Mika Koivuniemi is the best bowlier in the world right now according to the stats, he has made almost twice as much money as most of the other PBA pros and has the highest average which stands at an amazing 222!

Jason Belmonte Bowls Perfect!

Jason Belmonte is an amazing bowler, and its even more amazing that he does it with two hands. he is definatly one of the best bowlers in the world and in my mind he is the best.

Video Idea

i am going to see if the bowling center i bowl at every week(Andover Lanes) will let me do a couple trick shots for a video. this video is showing a couple ideas for trick shots i might try. if you know of any trickshots you would like to see feel free to leave a comment on what you would like to see.

Poll

I put a poll up asking what color bowling ball people would prefer to have.here are some ideas

Man vs Machine

This robot is crazy, his name is EARL(Enhanced Automated Robotic Launcher). He is a bowling robot. you would think that bowling robot would be able to bowl a perfect 300 every time but this one cannot. It still needs some improvements before it will bowl perfectly every time but in this video it is truely man vs machine. EARL is set to take on PBA pro Chris Barnes. Chris is currently ranked number four in the PBA standings and has made more than 1.3 million dollars bowling and has more than 40 perfect 300 games. So Chris Barnes would be a tough opponent for anyone or anything to beat.

Pink Panther Bowling Ball

this ball is amazing. i like it alot and anyone who is into bowling should give it a try. ive used this ball before and i loved it, everyone that has used it before has liked it too. this ball is definatly one everyone should give a try because its a great ball. but most people avoid this ball because of its color, but i dont care what the color of that ball is as long as it gets the job done. this will be my next ball for sure.

The History Of Bowling

Bowling has been around for a long time, i mean a LONG time. there has been discoveries of ancient primitave bowling balls and pins in ancient eqyptian tombs! Back in the 1300s bowling became very popular in germany. Back then there wasnt any lanes to bowl on a it was just a yard game at the time. But around 1366 King Edward lll banned the game from being played because it took away time for his soldiers to practice their archery skills. Now its time to jump ahead about 500 years. In about 1812 bowling was becoming very popular in Europe and was brought to the U.S. by about 1841. It became very popular in Conneticut and New York. In Conneticut it attracted people thayt like to gamble and bet their money on who would win. The state did not like the sport being a gambling sport, so the state made a law that there was to be now ninepin bowling in the state of Conneticut. The gamblers and the owneres of the bowling centers simply got around this law by adding and extra pin to the set of pins thus creating ten pin bowling like there is today.
