In our "home" house this is okay since the "floor" is a few inches down and there is a four-inch step up to the approach. She can stand in the bowler's area, squat a bit, and pick up her ball just fine. However, when we go other places, a lot of houses have no step up to the approach. This forces her to bend lower and really becomes a problem during an average set.
Maybe I'm a little bit more attuned to back problems because of my wife but I am increasingly aware of people complaining that their back "hurts" after a bowling session. Since we are seeing a "graying" of the league bowler... I don't know about your house but at our center the "average" league bowler is getting older... I feel we need to address this problem.
Don't know if this is the right forum but... here's my question...
Is there a way to elevate the ball lift and table (can't spell that thing that means where the ball waits until the bowler picks it up!)? Seems we would be doing the bowler a great service by making the table higher so they can pick the ball up easier and not have so much wear and tear and their backs.
I would be interested to know if any of you have made such a conversion and how did you do it?
