    anybody here bowl?

    what's your average? Style of bowling? High game? High series? What do you usually bowl on, house pattern or something harder?

    my average in my saturday league is 198, I've been improving lately, been consistently shooting in the 200's the past month. I'm a full roller

    As soon as I saw this thread in the nice sidebar I knew that you made it xD I haven't consistently bowled, but I've enjoyed myself a few times. I'm lucky if I get to 100, though ;D

      I let myself go for about a year. I came back to it, I'm decent. The lanes we bowl on are terrible. They're either too oily or dry. So I'm either hitting the pocket light or Brooklyn. I hook it.

      PS AVG. right now is in the 150's. I have had knee problems lately and my game has been off. I've bowled a 300 during practice. I have the score sheet printed and framed on my wall.
      Been to state manymany times.

        That's sick Saur, I've never gotten more than 6 strikes to start a game (happened today in my second game. Left a stone 9 in the 7th and everyone gasped lol). Funny cause I ended my third game with 7 strikes, if only I could transfer that to the second

          Re: anybody here bowl?

          I love bowling:
          Average: 192
          Throw: (Lefty) cross lane hook.
          Lanes (usually): House. It's a cheap pattern :/
          High Game: 256
          Lucky you, I usually get A 200-220 second game and 180-ish for the others. If a fourth game, it's usually 170 by then.

          Nice Saur! Hopefully you'll heal and return to your glory.

          Close Awein, pressure sucks. My 256 was 7 in a row then opened horribly. Struck out. Pissed me off

            Oh dude. Choking is a common thing to do. It was practice to I wasn't worried one bit. I just need to learn to not go back to old habits I used to have. I always use to turn my body sideways and throw my hand over the ball. I'd end up having a terrible game, getting pissed and just leaving.

            Edit: Mike, same here. I usually do amazing the first two games, then the last one I'm just like gone.

              nice I'm lefty also. My high game is 258 (probably going to break that any week now). I bowl on patterns that vary weekly. I'm in a saturday league that is sometimes house pattern and other times it's "carrydown from Friday night with more oil slapped on" or better known as "crap".

              I'm in a sunday league that is competitive that travels around the state that I bowled in today, it happened to be at my home bowling alley Lanes and Games the pattern was weird, pretty wet everywhere. You had to be very accurate with your mark, miss outside it wouldn't come back, miss inside and it would go down the middle. I wouldn't say it was a sportspattern but it was no house shot. Today I played on the 4th board and rolled it about 14 mph, worked well. 20 strikes in 3 games. But I missed a few spares. Only made 8. Had like 6 open frames. A couple splits, two single pin misses . and two multipin non conversions.

              I started the day with a 167 (lolol) And then a 226, 246. And I bowled three more practice games that were 220's and two 210's.

              full roller ftw.


              I've definitely enjoyed meeting people through bowling more than anything. I made my best friends at the bowling alley. No one from my school bowls. It's where I feel at home. It's nice.

                I bowled for years, was on a team for a few of those years. I think my average was like 180.. nothing spectacular lol. I enjoyed it though. It's really something I would like to do more, I just can't seem to make time.

                  I'm the summer I bowl in a pro shop league. We have different PBA patterns every week. It's so fun. My average differs about 7pins between school bowling and pro shop.

                        My schools team is starting soon. I'm only #3 on the team with my stats :/ Damn younger kids are getting ridiculously better. I hope to top my score as well soon. Last Tuesday was the last time I bowled: 188-223-204 and it was 5 games for 7 so I said what the hell: 209-183-154(oops...)-175-199.

                        EDIT: Well, **** Franky.

                              Yea, mine's about to be phased out, though. It barely held up this year. IHSA cares too much about sports, but money just sucks ass.
