What do you like about this subject? I like the challenges of the sport and the wide range of ability levels that can participate.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? My goal is to make the understanding of bowling balls and what part they play in the sport understood by all skill levels, and to what extent they can help or hurt an individuals performance.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Bowling balls are only tools. Knowledge and skills are what are most important.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject You cannot by a hook in the box.
