Ballreviews 1970?
« on: March 04, 2008, 06:13:52 PM »
Can you imagine if BR existed in 1970?  What would we talk about?

No interchange shoe soles.  
One color bowling balls.
No arsenals.
No "I FINALLY got my 300 posts".

Although, CG placements would be discussed!  Gotta max that side weight in those rubber balls!

Just the lefty/righty problem on tour to whine about!!! And why do those browny looking white dots hook so much?

Someone in the PBA forum might be saying look out for this newcomer, Earl Anthony!!!!

Don McCune is a Genius!!!!

Do I dill up a Black Beauty or a 3 Dot Classic...........3 Dot Classic. It looks more impressive to the chicks when I "rev it up".

When I grow up I'm going to grow my sideburns like Johnny Petraglia & Mike McGrath.

Where can I buy the Don Johnson Gold Palm?

Will underground ball returns catch on?

Should we allow a team to bowl without matching shirts?

Lacquer to urethane lane finish, what adjustments to make.

JoeBowler wins $2000 for shooting the first 300 at hard-carry lanes. Ten years after opening. It is the third 300 shot in the state the last 2 years, scoring out of control.
