What subject would you like to see written about?

What subject would you like to see written about?

Many of you read Bowling This Month Magazine and take Bowlers Journal; some of you have taken the magazines for a short time and I am sure some of you have taken bowling magazines for over 10 years.

What subject would you like to see covered that ether has never been covered (that you have seen) or that you would like to see covered in more detail. Perhaps there are subjects that were covered years ago but need to be updated for today’s game.

Bowl great!

The pros and cons of putting tape in the thumb hole versus putting tape on the thumb. I myself put tape on my thumb and then remove or put more tape on my thumb so as to feel a constant tight fit.

And for a topic.

Let's talk about the new USBC specifications for pores of the bowling balls. What kind of testing is done to see the size of pores, and go over balls in the past year that would of been legal and illegal to see how this is going to effect coverstocks of newer bowling balls.

It's often really hard to convince an editor to mention specific balls in an article...after all, those balls are manufactured by the magazine's number 1 or 2 source of revenue, i.e., the ball companies. So it would be difficult to call out certain balls as illegal or legal, because that would in turn possibly P.O. the ball companies.

Now, I understand what you're thinking. "But it's doing a service to the bowler!" Yeah, I know it is. But it's a balancing act for the mags. Your revenue streams can't go to hell just for one article. Something you'd have to consider is that, when the new specs go into effect, the ball companies will have to comply. There isn't a way around it. So, the balls you'll be using will be changed. The balls you previously used -- which may or may not fall under the new guidelines -- will most likely be grandfathered in, at least for a substantial period of time (long enough that you will no longer use one of those now "illegal" balls).

Since Ron is a coach I would assume he would write about bowling techniques or lane play and not about technical aspects of equipment.

I would like to see something on lane play. How to read lane graphs, how to find the sweet spot on the lane, etc.
