Forty Frame Game Joins USBC
Open
The popular Columbia 300 Forty Frame Game (CFFG) and the United
States Bowling Congress (USBC) have agreed on a partnership that will bring this
tournament to the National Bowling Stadium's (NBS) Showcase
Lanes.
The CFFG is a handicap singles tournament of 40 continuous
frames that includes no-tap frames, mulligans, bonus pins and other fun
challenges. There is also a variety of side events and doubles for bowlers to
earn additional prize money.
The CFFG was started in 1989 and has been held in the same host
city as the USBC Open Championships singe 1992, but Reno, Nev., in 2014 will
mark the first time for the two events to be held in the same
venue.
"The CFFG draws thousands of competitors each year with its fun
format and unique jackpots, and we're looking forward to adding it to the
variety of events at the NBS," said Brian Lewis, USBC Managing Director of
Tournaments.
"We saw last year that bowlers love the convenience of on-site
side tournaments, and the uniqueness of the CFFG which will ensure that bowlers
of all skill and interest levels can find an event for them," Lewis
said.
The tournament has welcomed more than 300,000 bowlers and paid
more than $10.5 million in 25 years of competition.
The CFFG will be held on the Showcase Lanes, which also are used
for team practice sessions and there will be specific afternoon and evening
squad times for this event as well as morning and early-afternoon
times.

Belmonte
Wins PBA
Tournament of
Champions
You can't win a tournament any closer than one pin and that is
exactly what Jason Belmonte did last Sunday defeating Wes Malott 219-218 to win
the Barbasol Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tournament of Champions
Tournament held at Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park, Mich.
The live ESPN telecast saw Belmonte roll a strike on his final
ball to defeat Malott.
The 30-year-old two handed bowler from Australia just a week ago
was named the 2012-13 PBA Player of the Year.
The win earned him $40,000 and a celebratory shaving cream
pie-in-the-face from close friend and fellow competitor Bill
O'Neill.
PBA coverage continues Sunday on ESPN at 4 p.m. with the PBA
Super Clash featuring a showdown match between 2011-12 PBA Player of the Year
Sean Rash vs. Belmonte.

The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
Bowlers: This weeks tip is for all bowlers regardless of your
level and it has to do with understanding the correct body position needed to
execute a bowling shot and being able to duplicate it.
If you were to stand straight on the approach, facing the pins,
letting the ball hand on your hand, you could not swing the ball straight
without hitting your hip with the ball.
This is impossible to do without swinging the ball around your
hip because the ball it too big. This "Roundhouse Swing" is not able to be
duplicated shot after shot.
Therefore, you might be in a position to be able to swing the
ball toward your desired target without any obstacles.
The tip: Get your head as far to the right (or left if left
handed) and tilt your bowling shoulder slightly downward. Contrary to what some
of your bowlers might tell you, you must drop your shoulder toward the floor in
order to avoid the "Roundhouse Swing."
At the same time, slightly open your hips and shoulder and you
will be able to swing your arm straight toward the target time and time again.
Due to different physiologist, the exact position may vary slightly from person
to person, but that correctly positioned, you can use gravity to control the
tempo of your swing.
Note: If you were to shoot a game of pool, or go to a range and
shoot a bow or rifle, note the position your head would have to be in to be
effective in these activities. Also, next time you watch Pro bowling on TV, make
note of the bowler's body positions.
