Bowling
Tip
By Mike
Luongo
Welcome back bowlers.
This week's tip was suggested by a league bowler and applies
mostly to those bowlers who are using modern bowling balls.
You may not know that the modern bowling ball is porous with
several different densities and has numerous chemicals in the cover
stocks.
As these balls change temperature, the cover and core will expand
and contract. Due to the different materials used for the core, inner core and
cover, this fluctuation occurs at different rates.
Leaving the ball in a car when temperatures are severe, very hot
or very cold, the expansion and contraction causes severe stress on the cover.
This stress is even greater when a cold ball is used to bowl while it is still
cold.....this may indeed cause the ball to crack.
So the tip is not only educational but let it serve as a
reminder to take care of your bowling ball investment--and if you carry your
balls to and from the center, don't leave them in your car.

Ed's Outlook
Following the close of the 2010-2011 bowling season this past
spring the bowling community lost a man who dedicated himself to the sport of
bowling and had friends in many places.
George Edward "Spoon" Battle Jr. of Pine Bush passed away on May
1 at the age of 72. An avid bowler "Spoon" bowled in leagues in Ulster, Sullivan
and Orange Counties. A member of the United States Bowling Congress he was a
member of the Middletown Bowlng Hall of Fame.
While a Little League coach in Brooklyn he coached future Mets
pitcher John Franco.
"Spoon" was indeed well loved by everyone and was a friend to
all. RIP George.
