Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo



  How about it bowlers, ever think about reviving your game.

  Let's take two important elements of the game and remember about the physical aspect of the game.
  The two elements....accuracy and action and that torque was at one time an important part of the term action.
  The game over the years has changed , accuracy is important but the action aspect is a different story.

  Much of the ball 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.

  The modern bowling all has been a boon to bowlers young and old. Trust me, no matter how talented you are, you can't compete using old antiquated equipment in today's environment.
  The tip.....see you local pro shop for the modern style bowling ball.
