Hello,

Two rolled into one here a bit, but how have people gone about being able to practice at home? I'm more of a bowler and was thinking I might invest in a 'half pitch' mat and a net when I'm working full time (but that won't be for at least 12 months).

How have people gone about creating lawn pitches? have you bought portable nets (and where from, how much $$)? My yard isn't too big anyway, so I wouldn't be able to do my natural run up

I've looked into the bowling machines and the cheapest I could find was about $3400 without a auto ball feeder, has anyone tried building there own with bike tires and a chain saw motor or something like that?

Sorry lots of questions.
