2016 Van Wie Women’s Doubles champions Britni Flask and Taeler Kuss

Taeler Kuss celebrated her birthday Jan. 24 in a big way as she and Britni Flask won the 45th annual Van Wie Women’s Doubles Tournament at B’ville Sports Bowl.

The 19-year-olds, who were making their tournament debut, are one of the youngest teams to win the prestigious women’s dou-bles event. Kuss and Flask competed for the Baldwinsville girls varsity bowling team, which practices and held its home matches at Sports Bowl.

Kuss rolled a tournament-high 298 game on the first day of the finals Jan. 23. She left the 6-10 on her last shot, which came into the pocket high. She finished the tournament with a 211 scratch average, while Flask car-ried a 200 average. The duo, which received 43-pins handicap, built a sizable lead over the course of the 16-game final and left the rest of the field fighting for second.

All competitors bowled a total of 16 games

over two days with scoring based on Peterson Points.

As if competing in a prestigious tourna-ment wasn’t enough, Kuss and Flask went head-to-head against their mothers twice. Kuss’ mother, Tina Fabrizio, and her team-mate Sherry McClusky, who won the title in 2013, also made the finals. The hall of famers finished sixth.

In the position round Jan. 24, Kuss and Flask bowled Flask’s mother, Betty Jo, and her partner Sherrie Matousek. Betty Jo Flask and Matousek, who were also making their Van Wie debut, finished second.

Betty Jo Flask was a model of courage and determination during the tournament as she continued to compete while coping with the effects of multiple sclerosis. Flask and Ma-tousek elevated their standing on Day 2 in the position round to secure second place.

Teenagers take home women’s title

2016 Auburn Women’s Masters champ Rebecca Young and Men’s Masters champ Michael Ryan.

Michael Ryan eclipsed two Auburn bowling milestones en route to his fourth career Auburn Citizen/Nucor Steel Men’s Masters title with a 645-603 win over defending champion Rick Lambrecht on Jan. 24 at Cedar House Lanes in Skaneateles.

Lambrecht, a former Post-Standard Masters champion, was tied with Ryan as the only bowlers to win three titles, the most in tournament his-tory. But with the win, the top-seeded Ryan became the first to win four.

Ryan also established a new Auburn Men’s Bowling Association re-cord for high series during match play. Ryan, 46, fired a career-high 869 series Jan. 16 at Falcon Lanes. Ryan shot games of 290, 300 and 279 and bridged 24-straight strikes over two games. His 869 bettered Tim Waters’ 868 series. (See related story, page 8)

Ryan sent Lambrecht into the losers bracket with a 637-619 match play win Jan. 23. The loss snapped Lambrecht’s three-year, 18-match Masters win streak. Both of Lambrecht’s losses in the tournament came at the hands of Ryan.

Ryan (7-0) took home a first-place check of $600. He finished the tournament with a 231 average.

The 53-year-old Lambrecht (7-2) was hoping to become the first player to win three straight titles. Lambrecht, who was inducted into

the Auburn Men’s Bowling Association last fall, carried a 224 match play average. Nate Abbott (209 average), who bowls in the Kevin Gabak Memorial League at Cedar House,

finished third while Michael Walker II was fourth. Jeff Matty was fifth. Auburn Masters resultsCedar House Lanes, Skaneateles | Jan. 24Winners bracket Mike Ryan 651 | Nate Abbott 594Losers bracket Match one: Rick Lambrecht 684 | Mike Walker II 668

Q.. I am a right-handed stroker. I’m having some trouble with my arm swing. It wraps around my body. I was taught and still bowl with a four-step approach, but now do a crossover step to create some space. But the real problem I’ve noticed is that when I do push away, I push outwards to the side rather than straight ahead. I have tried to rectify this but even when I consciously push away straight, or even to the left, on video replay the ball goes out to the side and then behind my back. I have also noticed that my shoulders swivel with the ball during my approach and this maximizes the problem. I’ve dropped to a 185 average from a 195 over the past few months and I feel my swing is really holding me back. Is there any-thing you could suggest for me to try to rectify this?

A. I needed some help with this one so I contacted a friend of mine, Mr. Bill Hall. Bill has been a coach to many professionals throughout his career. Bill’s answer to this question is to make sure you hold the weight of the ball in your left hand. Keep the left hand under the ball and then be sure to start the push away with said left hand. On the down swing, transfer the ball weight to the right hand. This will help keep the arm straight in the backswing. Pushing with the right hand causes the ball to be pushed to the right then it swings behind your body because the swing plane is thrown off. If you are left-handed just reverse these steps. FYI: If you would like to get a video lesson from Bill Hall you can send an email to: [email protected]. He will tell you how to send him a video. He will send you back a detailed answer with videos of his own. The charge for this service is a very reasonable $40. It is well worth it. He sent me a video of his explanation of the above problem. Bill does an excellent job showing both why and what you need to do to correct your problem.

Q. At the lanes where I bowl league it seems like a few times a night something happens with the pin rake and a pin is left in the gutter. This is right beside the pins. I have heard you are not supposed to bowl until this pin in the gutter is cleared away. Is this correct? Other league members have said it doesn’t matter that it is in the gutter and out of play.

A. You are correct. Though pins in the gutter don’t count for any score, they could alter the outcome of a shot. Pins are flying around and they could hit that pin in the gutter and fly up onto the deck and knock down extra pins. They could also act as a block and you could possibly get less pins because the pin in the gutter stopped it. So take a little time and re-rack or call the desk and have them remove the pin.

Q. I have been having trouble with my thumb lately. I have it taped up but it’s either too loose or too tight. I just can’t seem to get a proper feel. Do you know of a solution to this problem?

A. I have a solution. I have a friend who invented a better way to take up space in the thumb hole than tape. Actually it is used in conjunction with tape. It is called Magic Thumb Car-pet. It is the same shape as black or white tape that goes in the thumb hole. The difference is this is soft like carpet and it goes in the back of the hole. It takes the place of three pieces of white tape. If you need more tape you put black or white bowler’s tape in the front of the hole. You can have a tight feel with Magic Carpet but you can still get a fast release due to the fact that there is no suction created. The yarn on the tape allows air flow around the thumb. Because there is no suction, it also keeps the swelling of the thumb to a minimum. So you be able to keep the same feel. You will not find Magic Carpet in pro shops as this is a grass roots product. I have been using it since 1997. It lasts a long time and works very well. If you want to buy some, the cost is $20 for 10. Send it to Bob Korth, 750 Hemlock Ave., Central Point, Oregon 97502.

Michael Ryan looks at the score after winning his fourth Auburn Men’s Masters. He also set a Auburn city record for high series during the tournament.

Ryan fires Auburn city record at Masters tournament

“I was in a zone,” Ryan said. “I was aware of the record. But I wasn’t thinking about it until the fifth frame of the third game.”

With the crowd behind him, Ryan knew he needed nine pins on his last ball to get the re-cord. Ryan defeated Wayne Clark 869-624 in the match.

“The whole day came down to one shot,” he said. “At that point I was really scared. I wasn’t thinking about nine pins. I was thinking about not falling over and not throwing the ball in the gutter. I tugged the ball probably three or four boards and it went through the nose. I left seven pins but then the eighth one fell then the ninth one.”

Ryan’s achievement surpassed his previous career-high series of 835.

“I never thought in a million years I’d do something like that,” Ryan said.

Ryan went on to win the Auburn Masters on Jan. 24. (See related story, page 1)
