FAQ's
« on: May 03, 2004, 07:52:19 PM »
I know this has been requested before, but I'd thought I'd ask again since we had such a rewarding maintenance upgrade.  It would save us from answering the same questions over and over.  From a recent post...

quote:
Hey everyone!

I'm new here, I just got a memebership recently. However, I soemtimes have difficulty with some of the terms which you guys use on here. I'm a junior bowler and would like to gain as much knowledge on the sport as possible. Please explain what some of these terms mean if you could.
-tweener
-stroker
-mids
-backend
-the board number system, like how it works, what this means...etc
-length
-etc. Any addition info which anyone wants to add which i may have left out would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help with a somewhat ignorant bowler!

I think a FAQ would be a good addition to this site.

It should include:

What are the different grits of sandpaper and scotchbrite.

What are different types of balls and their characteristics.

What are the different styles of bowlers.

What is 'sport' bowling and a Typical House Shot.

What type of ball would be best for a beginner.

How does oil effect the ball reaction.

Why wont my heavy oil ball hook.

I am sure that there are many more items that could be added to a FAQ.  On another note, is there a bowlers FAQ posted elsewhere on the internet that could be linked to this site?

The only online bowling FAQ that I could find was the old one for alt.sport.bowling:

http://www.icubed.com/users/allereb/faq.html

It is a little dated.
