'''Impetus for rating polls'''
 
On July 3 2012,  A forum member wrote: How about having a section in the Wiki for books? Could we have them rated too by those of us who read them?
 
 
http://forum.bowlingchat.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6159
 
 
 
A '''template''' was created wherein members of the forum could rate instructional material.
 
The idea was to create a somewhat dynamic list of our members ratings.
 
Any member can use this or their own template.
 
The Bowling Bookstore is an Internet Vendor of Bowling Instructional media and other bowling related material
 
http://www.bowlingbookstore.com/home.html
 
It is listed here because it contains many books and videos on the sport of bowling.
 
 
 
'''Topic Name''' - Rate/Review - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
 
'''Creation of these polls is intended to be an ongoing process, e.g. Search for <big>123xyz</big> which was embedded as a potential unique string
 
This will return all polls created with this string.

'''The Initial Template follows -'''
 
 
 
This is a prototype based on a members request via http://forum.bowlingchat.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6159

A Wall

Something there is that doesn't love a wall ...
However, walls can be very useful on the the approach side of the foul line.
With apologies to Robert Frost from whom I borrowed the opening line from, the list begins.

Most of you know about walls on the lanes but are you aware of the many uses of a wall as a bowlers aid? There are more than the initial two that follow.

1) Look at post#4 by Jim Merrell regarding "the ball placement step"
http://forum.bowlingchat.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7378

2) Richard Shockley "the finish"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUPraOOvbLo&list=UUlmJP7tuk3ztllCGi6Lq2YQ&index=23

More uses of a wall to come ...

Targeting devices

Always get permission from the center authorities first.

1) Tape
On the lane as targeting devices - connect the dots (a line) several feet apart, look and listen.
On the lane side by side (a corridor) separated by a few boards, object roll the ball between the pieces of tape,use two sets several feet apart

2) PVC Targeting tool
You can buy them, but you can make them for a lot less, you can improvise adding features. This is variation of an old concept. This forum post has suggested spec's and materials list
http://forum.bowlingchat.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5132&p=40993&hilit=pvc#p40993

Motion Monitoring Aid

1) A piece of tape on your PAP during practice sessions can help you see what your ball is doing and when its doing it
A simple method for finding your PAP - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fooIV5Tj7zc&list=UUlmJP7tuk3ztllCGi6Lq2YQ&index=26

First Step First Aid

A plastic drinking straw can be taped to the approach in the spot you want your first step to go. This was demonstrated in a USBC video
