EmotionDetector Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Awesome...very glad to see this thread! LOVE bowling! http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/1022.gif Up until last year, I never really played bowling on a regular basis...just on social outings with friends. But last year, I decided to give a bowling league a try and got hooked! A few weeks ago, I started playing in my third bowling league! So much fun...I get more and more hooked everytime I play. Either way, my career high (at least from when I've kept track) is 198. I actually hit that same number twice! Last week, I hit a 171, but outside of that, haven't been playing so well lately! But I still love it! http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/653.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tick Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I have not been able to bowl for 6 years now. I had my shoulder replaced. Back in the day, I had a 165 average, and my high score was 244. http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/atickhum.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pags Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I LOVE BOWLING! I go every Sunday with my daughter in a Jr./Sr. league we belong to. She's developed a love for the game, but for me it reinforced my love for the game. My all time high score is 224, but that was a fluke that happened years ago. When we first started in the league a year ago, my average was around 130, and now I have worked it up to around 160. I finally broke 200 for the first time just a couple of weeks ago. So I'm definitely getting better - I just have to be more consistent. I've literally hit 193 one game, and 123 on the next. Ugh! What I really want is a new bowling ball. The 20+ year old plastic one I own has no grip whatsoever. I throw a good hook, and barely see the result with that ball. I'd love a urethane ball that will grip the lane better and give me a better hook. I know my scores would improve big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to play Candlepin and played a little Ten Pin.... I played candlepin once when I was in Cape Cod. It was so cool. But I think he's referring to the more standard duckpin / 10 pin bowling.

It's amazing how on one game I can be so locked in all the way through the last frame, and the next - even though there is barely a break in the action - I tank on the 1st frame and struggle throughout the rest of it. Why does that happen??? http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush Cocky Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I used to bowl a LOT from age 10 until about 5 years ago. I had about a 145 average when I was forcibly retired, and my all-time high game was a 245. I can't do it anymore as it led to my back being thrown out 5 years ago...... .....BUT......in Wii Bowling, I RULE!!!! I have several 200 games and I think my all-time high is 234.

Arndrake Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Been a member of a Sunday league ever since I moved to Seattle. Every year around the beginning of June we (and several other houses in Washington) go to a tournament in either Reno or Vegas. Last year I had my best average ever at 167, but I've dipped to 148 this year. Not sure if it's my ball or something with my throw. My career high was 276 with a 700 series, set last year. Can't remember if I've even broke 200 this year. For anyone looking for a ball, check with the pro shop at the house you bowl at. Sometimes, they have second hand balls that they are selling on commission. Sometimes the shop will even plug and re-drill it at little to no extra cost.

Tinwoodsman Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif I once went "FUN" Bowling to support the "Humane Society" ... for cats, dogs ... lol. Anyways, it was a lot of fun, after consuming copious amounts of beer, we proceeeded to bowl blindfolded, in the dark, holding hands with the significant other, opposite hand, between the legs, lying down, fillintheblank, etc, etc. All had a good time! http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/1022.gif Go Bowling! http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuppetKing2112 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 About 10 years ago my legally blind grandmother beat my entire family at bowling. My dad and I compared her to Tommy for the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a big adjustment to make since I'm so used to my plastic ball traveling straight. I have to snap a pic of my 20+ year old fossil of a ball.

I know weeks like that all too well. I've actually been on a pretty good streak where I'm bowling either at or above my average. It's been bouncing aound in the 150 to 160 range.
