    Default Bowling.....Who does it?

    Who here bowls and can break at least 150?

    Who are the ones that make people feel bad b/c you are too damn good for a fun outing?

    I think I saw a post months ago in the KF about that. Off L'ville Hwy and P'Hill. I used to go there, until they opened the Red Carpet Lanes off Satellite; less people.

    When is the next outing?

    I haven't bowled in 6 months or so, but I averaged around 180 or so. I enjoy it a lot, but I think I have bad technique or something because my fingers hurt a bunch afterwards and maybe a day after that....

    3 leagues, wow! Hey I need a new ball and shoes. The one I had cut for me in December is proving to be wrong as hail. My thumb hole is to big, forcing me to tighten to hold the ball. What specials do you guys run up there?

    Do you give pointers and tips?

    I avg around 160-180, but I know I can up that with the right sizing.

    I am quoting this and holding you to it! Thanks alot! If I can get in the 210-250 range consistently I'd be stoked.

    I went last night and rolled a 180. This ball is not good for me at all.

    Stroker style, but as far as the ball goes, I do not know. It was a gift this past Christmas. It was from Sports Authority; not to sure how those measure up to other balls.

    School me?

    oh god thats more then i ever want to write out. I have like 6-7 bowling balls that you can throw and see what you like. If your a stroker you should be along the same lines as me... So we can meet up some time and go. I like to practice at brunswick lanes off 29 on sunday mornings if your up to it. I get up there around 10-11am. ( i wont be up there this weekend though, i have to work at my brothers house.)

    That will work. I like those lanes, when its not crowded.

    I want a quality ball, but I am still reading up on the types and purposes. I did not know it got that deep.

    oh yes I spent lots of money on bowling balls I probably will never throw. Thats the real issue i think its more of a trial and error kinda thing. You have to find a ball that feels right to you. Right now i throw "The fury" and i also use a "Black Widow Pearl". My pick up ball is a "reactive" ball.

    .
    most of the top pro's (jason couch pete webber tommy jones) would average 230+ on a normal 40-50ft house shot

    good luck on that haha takes lots and lots and lots of time on the lanes to get that dead consistant

    most people spend 25years and never achevie it

    if you have any questions reguarding coverstock\symetrical\asymetrical cores let me know im pretty well versed in all aspects


    and the technicals of the ball is onl;y about 50% of the game imo

    your the other half you approach release backswing foward swing plant slide floowing through picking spot being able to adjust with you feet right of the bat being able to read the lanes knowing when a coverstock is going to be to much and burn up through the heads


    sorry for the run on sentance haha

    well not to be a dick or anything but who ever is drilling your stuff must not know you all to well ive yet to drill something for someone and they didnt throw it


    there is alot more to it then ok pin over the fingers cg in the palm whaaaaaa and start punching holes into it

    you have to worry about pap's and axis tilt ect.. plus if your rev dommiant it changes things also

    Yeah, but I like to aim high, lol. I figure I am in the 160-170 range with a fubared ball that hurts my hand, technique that has never been critiqued, and a shitty pick up that there HAS to be room for improvement.

    My pickup has gotten better, but needs more work.
