its illegal to use sand paper to gosok.. those international tournaments will disqualify you if they found out..

not really le , depends how strong is the hand and wrist , like me strong arms but weak wrist  so 13lbs is just right , not too heavy not too light , go to those proshop and test power lor ... .

btw i played 3 games last night , if Uncle John were there , i confirmed he will vomit BLOOD , and i'm so disappointed with myself as well ... sigh ...

those uncles or aunties are money bowlers.. they bowl for money.. so they dont bother whatever style there is in bowling.. as long its a strike.. its ok.. LOL!

for us(Im assuming everyone is having the same view as me).. we treat bowling as our passion and we want to be extremely good in it.. its different..

yes have to agree with u all , ok le now this bowling community is getting better , i mean at least it's active , we can share tips and advice here ,

but i envy those who are natural in hooking the balls ... even using house ball ...
