Donald DurlandDonald Durland Scores 300 With Injured Finger
The old saying that you just can't keep a good man down was proved to be true on September 26 when 19-year-old Wurtsboro bowler Donald Durland,rolled his second-career 300 game with an injured right hand.
In his second year of adult-league bowling Durland recorded the 300 in the Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes without the use of his middle finger. By not using the standard grip he improvised as a result of an injury and used his ring finger and pinky in the ball.
Bowling on lanes 9 and 10 he scored the 300 in the second game and finished with a 683 series using a Hammer Vibe bowling ball
His previous 300 game was scored as a youth bowler during the 2005-2006 season at Kiamesha Lanes. Donald has been bowling since the age of 5 when he started our in a youth league at Middletown Lanes and when he reached the age of 12 moved to Kiamesha Lanes.
He presently bowls in the Monday Men's, Tuesday Mixed and Wednesday Men's league, all at Kiamesha Lanes. He maintains a 200 plus average.
His 300 puts him in good company with his Medicap Pharmacy team mates including Paul Minton with 11 perfect games, Walt Edwards with 6 and Mark Wegener with 6.
Donald is employed in the service department at Van Etten Oil Company of Monticello and lives at home with his well-known bowling parents Paul and Debbie Durland.
Lane # 1 Adds G-Force
SuperNova To It's
Line Of Bowling Balls
Syracuse, NY based Lane # 1 and Richie Sposato continue to improve and add to their bowling ball arsenal. They recently announced the creation of the new G-Force SuperNova ..
After careful and tedious testing, Lane # 1, the innovator of bowling technology has created a powerful new force unmatched by the competition, the G-Force SuperNova.
The Super-Nova is a nuclear fusion of their patented Buzzsaw Diamond and W.A.S. (warped asymmetrical symmetrical) cores. This dense neutron star packs a heavy, high velocity impact with control.
Ball information supplied by Lane # 1 states that this ball is "merciless and massive and a super force that is born to collapse the pins, thus creating a thermal-nuclear explosion of pins and scores.. Step up your game like never before and ask yourself how many G's can you handle?"
This ball is red/blue in color has a bleeder solid particle cover stock, the G-Force Buzzsaw fusion core a hook rating of 110 out of 120 max and a backend hook of 80%
The construction is a modified 2-piece, has a highly polished finish and is available in weights from 13-16 pounds.
Sposato says his company is to change the bowling industry by "bringing the sport of bowling to new and exciting levels."
Sposoto feels the game of bowling doesn't get the credit it deserves and that the sport need to be leveled along the same line of other professional sports.
The products produced by Lane # 1 are known to contain high quality and performance.
Lane # 1 was started by Sposato, a pro bowler who won the 1988 and 1989 PBA Eastern Regional titles. He noted that he came up with the idea for his own ball while working in his Lane No 1 pro shop in Syracuse in 1988.
He was a math major while at West Texas State University and decided on the diamond-shaped weight after having it tested by the physics department at Syracuse University.
Sposato has also authored a number of writings and columns
One of the major selling advantages of the Buzzsaw line of products is the extensive layout of drilling patterns Spasato has designed for the balls, which allows a bowler to customize his or her ball for any type of reaction he or she wants, regardless of lane conditions.
What makes the Buzzsaw line of bowling products different is the unique design of the inner weight, which is largely responsible for the way a ball reacts when rolling down the lane. The balls with their diamond-shaped weight (and the laws of physics) is said to spin longer, faster and create 20 percent more inertia than any other shape.

Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
Bowlers: This weeks tip is for parents with children who either bowl in a youth league or bowl regularly with their own equipment.
Parents.......when was the last time you had your child's fit checked on their bowling ball at your local pro- shop?
Children tend to grow quickly and the gripping holes in their bowling balls must be adjusted to accommodate this growth.
Bowling with poor-fitting equipment can become frustrating and uncomfortable. In most cases, it will only take a minute or two for adjustments to be made.
Also, if your child has his or her own bowling shoes, you can check the size yourself to see if the fit is acceptable. Do not wait for blisters to form on the toes.
Remember, the game is meant to be enjoyed, not to be a form of torture.

Ed's Outlook
Youth bowling leagues are important to the future of this great sport of bowling and most area bowling houses have held their registration days.
At Liberty Lanes registration for their Bumper, Bantams and Teenage league took place last week. Bumpers (ages 4-6) will bowl 1 game, Bantams (ages 6-11) bowl two games and in the Teenage league (ages 12-18) these youth bowl three games. The league bowl Saturday mornings and are sponsored by the Liberty Elks.. For information on these leagues call 292-6450.
At Callicoon Lanes an interesting concept in youth bowling will be taking place this year where youth will be instructed by former Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Regional Professional John Hoffmann who last year was the high average bowler in the Tri-County New York United States Bowling Congress Association. Callicoon Lanes is holding two free Saturday Morning Youth bowling clinics October 13 and 20 at 10 a.m. where bowlers ages 7-18 will be taught the fundamentals of the game.
The new Callicoon Lanes Saturday Morning youth league following the two free clinics will then be divided up according to age into teams where they will bowl for 20 weeks at a special youth bowling fee of $4 for three games which include rental shoes. The top 5 high average youth bowlers will also receive a free bowling all at the end of the season if they complete20 weeks of bowling The season will end with a free banquet of food and soda where league awards will be presented.
Hoffmann has noted that he will be on hand each week to continue instructions and help the youth learn the game of bowling.
