Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 112    |  Does anyone bowl? I found a really cheap and good hobby to be bowling. I started out doing it every thursday night. I started out throwing a straight ball, but lately I learned to do a curve. I got my average to around 150 or so, but the other day I scored a 232. I threw 3 strikes , 2 spares, then 4 strikes and then a 9 to end the game. I started shaking after I got the 2 strikes after the spares. I found out that if that if I struck out I would have scored a 265. Oh well, maybe tonight I will do better. Anyone score high?

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 32 |  Put Me On TV!!! Hahaha.. Man.. I should be on television.. I own 4 bowling balls... (Yes, you have to say bowling, before you say balls!) ... If you really want to be a great bowler, you have to have your own bowling ball and then practice with it... that's the main edge I get over the casual bowler, they have to find a ball and then their thumb may or may not fit, but with my own ball & my own shoes, I know I do the exact same thyng everytyme... I get pissed when I don't break 250 easily... Bowling shoes are affordable.. & when you don't have to pay the shoe rental fee, they pay for themselves in a couple of games.. I haven't bowled in almost a year, because I'm overseas & I wasn't bringing my bowling ball with me.. hahaha.. but last tyme I took a year off from bowling, I picked it back up and didn't miss a beat.. It's lyke ryding a bike I guess.. Peace..~G Can't let my little nephew beat me in bowling... EVER!!!

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 32 | Power & Spare... Of the 3 bowling balls I regularly carry... One's plastic.. cheap as hell.. The other two have different space age coatings... One is a lot more expensive than the other... If you've ever thrown your curve ball down an oily lane and the ball doesn't hook... then it's too much oil on the lane... My most expensive ball will cut thru a lot of the oil and styll hook... My regular space age ball is good for dry to medium lanes... If you throw your regular hook and it curves before it reaches the pins.. the lane's dry... You can also tell by how much oil is on your ball when it comes back... My hook goes from ryght to left.. so getting the 10 pin is a challenge sometymes... that's when I use my plastic ball... the plastic coating causes the ball not to hook at all... so I can use my regular delivery and styll pick up spares... That's why the professionals often have multiple bowling balls.. it's easier to match the ball to the lane conditions, instead of adjusting your delivery to the lane conditions... sometymes.. But when you match your delivery & your ball to the lane conditions... Watch out.. You should have more X's than Elizabeth Taylor !!!Yeah.. I'm very competitive and take everythyng I do seriously..  Even bowling.. hehehePeace..~G

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 112 | WHen my parents moved back to West Virginia I grew up next to a bowling alley, but I still sucked until last year when I started bowling weekly. last night I averaged a 155 over 3 games. Not too bad, I was consistant but missed a lot of spare opportunities. It isn' hard. I was trying to teach my 14 year old brother how to throw a curve. It was funny.
