Re: anybody here bowl?

I bowl on a league regularly but your averages put me to shame, i just started this year i have a average of about 125, i don't know how to hook the ball, was never taught and can't teach my self ( i tried, i failed xD) oh well i enjoy it a lot though. I have a high game of 167 by the way.

you gotta start somewhere that's good for your first year

District tournament tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday. We bowled Monday, 182, 213, 133. I won all three games, when I should have lost that last one. I struck out from the ninth to win by three pins. We won against the other school, we're in third now.

Re: anybody here bowl?

very nice first two games


I almost had a 300 game last week. Started with the front 7 and I was "in the zone" I wasn't even nervous cause I had a sense that I was going to get it. I hit the pocket high flush and both the 8 and 10 pins were not kicked, quite unlucky but ohwell. The next game I started with 5 strikes lol.

Bowled my high series last week too, I think it was like a 669? I really want a 700.

194, 184, 213 at my schools League. It started today. I was backwards as today as well. High-Low-High games. Usually it's Low-High-Low. Highest score and average so far We were bowling on BBA league patterns. It was one of the animal patterns. Really nice day. I got a catfish (5 in a row, my team mates created a new system for naming strikes) in the last game.

Re: anybody here bowl?

Geez I haven't bowled in nearly 2 years now, used to be on my high school's team. Average was 208 my last year I believe, high game 296 (****ing hit low on the last ball and left the bucket).

Re: anybody here bowl?

sweet I went to the bowling alley tonight and I got a more reactive ball drilled for me. It will be good for those VERY wet lane conditions. It snaps like hell and that's saying a lot cause I'm a full roller

I'm going to stick to my less reactive ball most of the time/when I can which will probably be 90% of the oil patterns.

I watched some candlepin with Tass briefly last time we met -- even among the elite, they can only hit so many pins at once. Looks incredibly difficult.

Re: anybody here bowl?

I bowled, but I'm not really good at it. I got a strike one time by doing some magic upon the ball or something.

yeah it really is, the best candlepin average is only like 130. And it's pretty random as to whether you get strikes or not. Just chuck it with a little angle in the high pocket and pray. A 300 is virtually impossible. I think the highest candlepin score ever is only like 240 or something.
