"Atmosphere should be one of fun yet competitive?"
-
Do you agree? When bowl during league "Atmosphere should be one of fun yet competitive?"
Would you prefer:
(1) Have to win - bowlers are expected to bowl well and win points?
(2) Bowl to win - no expectation on bowlers but they know they must try to win?
What's your thoughts and preference? -

hm, for me, i would prefer to win than just to have fun. but saying that will not be a true reflection either. i think the most impt fact for league, is that we have to bowl with team mates that shared the same passion and desire to win, and not forgetting the kinda 'click' that will help to foster the bond as the years go by. generally, all of us want to win, if not, we'll get stagnant and ultimately, the love for the game may just fade off...

hmm...how to be part of a league? I usually bowl alone...
cannot find kakis... -
bowl to win. ebonite.

Apple,Originally posted by apple*:uncle...any model to recomend from ebonite? How to u rate this ball "Widow" ?
Go ask Andy about the black widow pearl. It's one of the latest models from ebonite and he is using it himself. -
is it widow or black widow? the black widow is by hammer, a subsidiary of ebonite. i dont have any of my friends using this ball so i cant comment.Originally posted by apple*:uncle...any model to recomend from ebonite? How to u rate this ball "Widow" ?
but i can recommend you ebonite total NV or ebonite NVS
my friend is using it, and though his revs and speed is lower than mine,his pin action is almost similar to mine. that ball(total NV) can hit like a truck. -

Yes. By Hammer but I do mean the new Black widow pearl. -
hmm if you would like a sharper breakpoint with lower hook go for it.Originally posted by richieleo:Sorry. Yes. By Hammer but I do mean the new Black widow pearl. -
apple, that's why the cohesion of the team is very impt here. as a team we will know there will be ups and downs, and we have to understand that. no doubt there will be disappointment with our teammates sometimes, but on the whole the team needs to know, ultimately, teamwork is not only abt winning together... sometimes, real team spirit is built through losing with fighting spirit.Originally posted by apple*:Will u feel that if all desire to win during league..how if; i mean jus take example..one of your team mates cant perform the best on that day maybe so called got no 'form' ..will that affect u or the rest ?

it's not about pinfalls.. it's about how much laughs you have with friends and how much beer you drink
