Oldass thread, but I finally started back bowling again about four months ago after about a 35 year layoff, and I wasn't that good before. I got my first fingertip drill locally, at the only pro shop available within at least 50 miles, and it has been intradesting. I like the change for my hand, and I've had SOME success. But I'm pretty sure my thumb hole is way wrong, and a few revisits t the pro shop have not inspired confidence. They just waller out the edges more so the back of my thumb gets less friction, when it should be zero friction. They keep saying I have to learn to release a fingertip, but they have never watched me bowl. It is really frustrating to have only one ball I can try for fit, and it cost me more money that I really wanted to spend to try it out. I'm averaging 150 since the new ball about a month ago, not much difference in average. At times I get proper rev angle and a nice modest hook to the pocket. But I'm having to use too much grip pressure to hold the ball because of the thumb hold and the more I bowl the straighter it gets and the more inconsistent my release. I wish there were a way to try some different pre-drilled balls. Otherwise, I wish there were a really great pro shop guy that can make sure I get a legit custom drill for my hand so I can progress. Is it possible to get something close remotely and have a ball drilled and shipped? I have been tempted to find a used ball just for trying out different drills until I find something that feels right, then have a legit base layout to start with. I actually rolled a few 200-plus games and some very close with house balls for the first three months of bowling every week. But it gave me tendon issues at the base of my fingers. I don't care about having a huge hook like is all the rage nowdays, but I would like to have some more control on the ball and a comfortable grip.

With the G5 getting into the playoffs it makes their conference games more intriguing and there are plenty of entertaining games at the level. Having Penn State vs Akron in week 3 is worth getting a Boise vs San Diego State Friday night playoff spot on the line banger, IMO. And you can shore up non-conference schedules without formal relegation or separation.

Sounds...interesting.

I had the same concerns as well because usually those one-run games are a function of randomness/luck and that worm could easily turn on us, but hey let's just ride the wave while it's hot and hope it continues. There's also a good argument to be made that the team's record in these close games isn't just a coin flip because they are only two games ahead of their pythag W-L and two games ahead of their third order W-L record (which accounts for strength of schedule). I think it's time to give credit to Wulaw and admit this is just a really damn good baseball team and poised to get better when our best power hitter returns.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: They Can't Keep Getting Away With This
Bevo replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
After we end up at 20 recruits in the next few weeks, we will wait patiently, reassess our needs, see who has developed and close strong before signing day. Same ole same ole. -
Could be nothing but its a fucked up look coming off his pre-draft shit. He is getting some really bad advice.

The only rule of law is the gun. Plan and prepare, accordingly.

Well, this piece from two months ago outlines Stephen Miller’s position on it, so this is likely where things are headed. I hope I’m wrong. https://www.yahoo.com/news/stephen-miller-unveils-bizarre-attack-194857907.html

Tough shitski for them.

My wife was born in the US to a Korean non-citizen who was in the US for school, then immediately adopted. We live in Texas. Can anyone tell me how concerned we should be?

That's pretty surprising. Guess he should have taken the Knicks job a few yrs ago as was rumored. I suspect he wont be out of work for long.

This story is super weird. The autopsy showed "no signs of illness or injury that would have contributed to the boy’s death." No fucking way am I getting on one of those. It's floating wicker propelled by fire.

If the scheduling is all done within the 64 teams then it will be more entertaining especially OOC. Nobody enjoys watching FBS teams play FCS, nobody enjoys watching Penn State vs Akron, etc. It will mean more money for all the schools IMO.

You dont luck into 6 straight ECF trips, 2 trips to the Finals and a title. GTFOH
