Ed's Outlook
It's great to see local tournaments being promoted in Sullivan County and scratch bowlers will have the opportunity to show off their scoring ability in the 2ed Annual Doubles Scratch Tournament scheduled at Liberty Bowl and Kiamesha Lanes.
We complement Josh Strang for his efforts to stimulate bowling competition in Sullivan County.
Just another reminder that the 62nd Annual Men, Women, Mixed team, doubles and singles Fox Bowling Center tournament will be held March 29 through April 27. Call Bill Gleim for information at 607-637-4401.
In talks with several bowling lane operators the past several weeks about leagues and tournament's we all agreed that the sport of bowling has a unique language and some of the phrases and terms will league a non-bowler wondering what you're talking about.......example the terms "Deadwood" or "180".
These terms commonly are heard being made to the control desk at bowling centers.
Deadwood is the term used to let a pin chaser or mechanic know that a pin went past the automatic pin setter and is still located on the lane or in the gutter. A call for a 180 means the rack of pins was never set and the bowler is staring at an empty pin deck.
Bowlers who have heard other unique bowling language can send them along to me at my email address noted below.

The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
Bowlers: This week's tip is about ways to revive your game.
We talk about the exotic ball experiece this week and the importance pro shop operators have on the game.
Better known as ball technicians, pro shop operators are increasingly arming average bowlers with the formidable equipment of today.
Physically, bowling is a sport comprised of two elements....accuracy and action. In terms of priority develop your accuracy skills first.
Once your hitting the pocket on a regular basis, then begin enhancing your action technique. Keep in mind that, in bowling, action is primarly applying a torque (force) with the hand to the ball.
Torque is comprised of three factors, life, turn and extension...and be careful not to stress acuracy at the expense of action and vice-versa.
Much of the action today is built into the bowling balls by the use of sophisticated weight blocks, dynamic balancing and modifying the coverstock with more or less porosity as the lane condition demands.
To be sure, these modern balls have been a boon to bowlers young and old.
If you are still holding onto that old ball Aunt Sarah bought for you for Christmas a number of years ago, do your self a favor and get down to your local pro shop and modernize your equipment.
Trust me, no matter how talented you are, you can't compete using old antiquated equipment in today's environment.
