Hahaha straight ball is easier to target then a hook ball. When you hook a ball, you really need consistency to ensure it hooks properly. If I am tired that day and I play bowling....my score cant even reach 120.

Eh cooldreamer which college you went to? Inti or Nilai College?

Seremban is an old town, not much entertainment.

but wanna learn hook ma..more fun ma..straight one looks dull la..

Inti...then go Uni

Ah ic, inti boy. You know what I like most about INTI college. the amount of chicks there. Bawhahahaha....some of my friends studied there as well. Fav past time when they studied there : Counter Strike and Snooker.

You mentioned you need some tips on how to hook a ball. I think bonzaimy and benzene can give some good tips on how to do it.

As for me, I had to learn myself by observation and pratice.

okla..the chicks there... i guess thats the few past time in Nilai lor.. play games or walk outside see chicks..

give tips liao then hv to try to hook liao..

The first criteria for hooking is to get a ball (not plastic ball) drilled at a certain angle as well as to fit your fingers. Then only can you start on hooking.

Plastic balls are not for hooking.

hello everybody... hehe... actually my bowling skills arent that good also but i'll try my best to give some tips la... first, have ur own ball.. doesnt matter whether is plastic or reactive.. 2nd, get ur step correct and try on basic hook first... which is from the 2nd arrow(from right) towards the 1-3pin... if ur wrist cant resist the weight of the ball, maybe u can buy a wrist guard (thats what i do when i start learning hook).. i start from a 13lbs plastic ball.. i think u need to learn practically is better.. ask jbbeng go to bowling alley and coach u la.. then u belanja him minum kopi ma.. hehe..

Lol benzene88, I am also nubbie here. Nubbie teach nubbie = total disaster. Might end up with cooldreamer breaking a finger or two.

I totally agree with Benzene88 on getting an own ball. I am currently using a 13lbs ball and to hook properly, a wrist guard is a must for me.

Can still remember a couple of months ago, I was walking into the bowling alley carrying a bag containing my own ball and shoes. Wah look like pro nia, then throw the ball end up straight in longkang. Pai seh like hell man.

ooo..nice.. how much is it for a wrist guard and also ball?i dun play tat much oso la..waste money buy..

I got mine...shoes, ball, and wrist guard for RM400.

It was a good bargain actually. We can try ask the shop at Pelangi if we meet up for a game.

See what the shop has to offer. I have seen the owner bowl a couple of times. Damn he is good with the hooks.

yup... RM400 is a good budget for the complete gears adee... i dont think can go any cheaper...

Any cheaper, it would be plastic balls.

hehe.. the beng beng beng johorian guy just gonna face the phuukk phuukk phuuuk same as TongYam.. keh keh keh..

Welcom to SINGAPORE!! Bomb em all!!

WTF? Phuuk phuuk? Bomb em all?

LOL..wats with the phuk phuk phuk and bombing?

anyway..i seldom play oso..so u ask me to fork out RM400 for the whole set abit too much my mom would be the 1st to nag on me for spending so much while I do not hv tat time to play oso...

jz go play fun fun can la..no need spend so much...cincai throw the ball only...not going comp wait i earn more money then i'll buy..

if u just play once a while and for fun then no need to spend yet lor... wait until u have deep pockets then buy a simple set will do..

You still can have fun with any balls. Most important is that you strike. That gives you the thrill of playing bowling.

yup yup..u oso got one set?


last time i got a friend..he bowl the ball like he's trying to ruin the alley...the ball hit the longkang so hard that it jumped up to the lane and hit a strike..

lol... in 2002 i was very active in bowling.. bought 5-6 balls.. 2 pairs of shoes and a wrist guard... cos when cant score well.. i'll blame the ball and nag my dad to get me new one... hehehe...

wah lao...1 ball cost how much?
