 In the December installment of Slowinski at-large, I introduce the idea of an international bowling skill score number as a method to evaluate a bowler's overall skill level (versatility, accuracy, power, repeatability & knowledge). I believe an International Bowling Skill Score Number system will allow us to compare any two bowlers worldwide. With the use of C.A.T.S. or DigiTrax with Bowlers Map, coaches can assess players allowing a more thorough identification of strengths and weaknesses.

After the Women's World Championships, Bowling This Month Editor Jim King asked me to write an Off The Top of My Head article on the "upset" of Malaysia over the United States team. As an American, who works as a bowling coach at the national level, in Malaysia, I have a unique insight into both the USA and Malaysian bowling programs. So, I agreed to offer my insight and analysis. Specifically, I explore whether the win by Malaysia was an upset or not. You might be surprized at my answer.

When ex-WTBA president Dr. PS Nathan called for a World Symposium on the state of bowling, in 2000, he brought together some of the most knowledgeable names in the bowling industry. From this meeting, the world standard of short and long patterns emerged as well as many other important updates. For those who care about the sport of bowling, this was one of the most important meetings in our sport's history. Read the report of the Technical Committee, written by Sid Allan, here. The Technical Report also shares how the committee defined who the best bowler was.... Click to read more and download the report. |

Althought the purists bemoan the moving of The Petersen Classic, from 35th and Archer, the Pete will celebrate its 97th consecutive event this year. It is held annually, from April to September. With unique visual distractions, such as a score board suspened from the ceiling over all of the lanes to the lack of targets on the lane, the Petesen will be the most fun and challenge a bowler will have in his/her lifetime. Hall of Famers and PBA players have won over the history of the event. And, Pete Weber once shot a 104 game. Now, this is a challenge with different lane conditions and sometimes different weighted pins in a deck that is off spot. You can't rerack. You need to bowl, with no warm-up. I have never had so much joy and pain in a tournament. As some call it, it is 8 games of hell and extasy at the same time. I include pictures and a description of the challenges in the attachment. So, read on.... If you want the challenge of your lifetime, book a trip to Chicagoland area. It is worth the trip. In addition, a heavy wood no-tap tournament, The Lumberjack, is run at the same center over the course of the tournament event. |
