80s Rocked, your story sounds like the Linklater movie that never was, it was either that or 'Dazed & Confused'. I used to play sometimes, never too well, the weights if I rememebr were 16, 10, 8 and 6 (for the ladies)
'The Big Lebowski' sucks. 'Kingpin' forever

King Pin rocked Kash! Remember the movie Greedy with Michael J. Fox? He took lessons from pro bowlers for weeks to prepare for that film.
The ball weight can be whatever you want up to 16 pounds. You will rarely find one under 6 pounds though.

Really though, what is with all the pads?
Lacrosse=Hurling with pads... Football=Rugby with pads.. Ice Hockey= Hurling on ice with pads...
I'm amazed they don't put helmets on the Basketball guys!!
That's a misconception comparing "Football=Rugby with pads". Rugby is a different game. While it's very tough and brutal at times, you don't have any 6'5 350lb guys trying to rip your head off then sit on your chest. Also, look at how hard they hit each other. Helmet to helmet contact at full speed. Concussions are common. It's like comparing Baseball to Cricket. Completely different. Don't get me wrong, I think these are all very good sports.

Ok fair point. But Martin Johnson was 6ft 10ins and dropped a lot of padlees people on their heads!! As does Paul O Connell 6ft 8ins!!
But yeah, the NFL boys are huge.

There is a move in Rugby(Union & League) called the 'Spear Tackle' - that's where a group of players(or sometimes an individual player) pick up a player and drill him into the ground. It's an illegal move, but it still happens.

Ah yes, the spear tackle. Nasty to say the least..

I actually just went bowling today! Sadly my highest game was 135. I'm not the best, but I have fun doing it! I found out that I bowl better when I sing The Beatles.
I just hate the 7-pin, since I'm a lefty. Ha!

I'm a righty and the 7-pin was always my toughest. 10-pin was no problem.

But I DO let go of the ball...I've seen someone almost do that though, they just didn't hang on quite That long.
I also had a friend somehow slip as she threw her ball and she wound up by the arrows in the lane. That was some pretty dandy entertainment... Posts: 133 | From: Michigan | Registered: Oct 2008 | Site Updates: 0
