Appreciate the good answer. Out of curiosity, ofder of magnitude how much would a person need to be bowling to get good enough that choice of shoe matters?

Never understood the need to wear extremely uncomfortable and ill-fitting shoes just to throw a ball. Always seemed like a way to jack the price up. Sure, professional bowlers use …

I don't know about you guys, but half of the time I give Opus something actually complicated, it spends 50+ minutes trying to understand the problem, running lots of searches and t…

Just run a compressor! Like the Loudmax plugin if your audio source is a PC, or buy a Behringer CL9 ($30) and plug into your aduio chain if you don't want a computer involved. Prob…
