  Hi, I'm new here. Been bowling since more than 10 years ago but have stopped several years in between. It's nice to see some bowling enthusiasts here.
  
  Anyone knows where to watch the National bowlers in action, say during weekly training sessions ? I'm particularly interested in watching the 'spinners' (helicopter- players)

  There are many many good spinners out there who are not in the Nat'l Team,
  
  In leagues at most bowling centres, young and old,
  
  But there's 1001 styles out there u know , if wanna see those Kampong Spiders , u sud oso look out for "FUN Bowling tournaments" too,
  Super Bowl, Cathay Bowl etc....
  
  Last nite there's quite a handful at Yishun, KKB, AL, DA(nat'l), etc......

  Hello Spook,
  
  Thanks for the clues there. Care to share what is meant by DA, KKB & AL?
  
  From other posts, I guess you are a spinner too. I would like to meet with people who're keen to master the spinner style. maybe we can study it together.
  
  I think to be a good spinner, we gotta have a good reference point and see more often the good examples.
  
  What I've seen is that the good right-handed spinner can adjust his forward push strength so that the initial vertical axis of rotation changes to a slight tilt to left when the ball is about 2 metres away from hitting the king pin.
  
  The ball hits the 1-3 pocket and hits pin 3. pin 3 carries pin 5,8,9. At the same time, the ball hits pin 6 & 10, while the king pin carries the pins 2, 4, 7.

  KKB=Khoo Kok Beng, he is one of a rare Spinner who bowl a 300 in an Open Tournament.
  
  AL = Andy Lai, J.Tan significant half,
  
  DW = David Wong( know him?)
  
  I now a SPooKy Fun Bolwer.
  Meaning ? Enjoy both Spin & Hook style lar. But currently more confident in Spin, Loves to Hook when not in competition, whichever, I try to keep it as simple as possible.
  
  Wanna join me on Sat. afternoon at Planet Bowl for some games?
