    i hold a league average of 206. And I shot a 289 last week. I consistantly shoot 600-700 series in 3 games. =) No 300 ring yet but im working on it.

    and airmax if you would like from one audi owner to another i can give you some pointers on the lane if you would. =) for free... no need to pay someone!

    My company has a sunday bowling league in stars and strikes off of 316. but i dont bowl in it. b/c well i dont like there lanes.

    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

    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.

    oh of course, there is nothing wrong with aiming high haha

    a proper fit and ball match to you will improve your game alot imo

    and there is allways room for improvement

    I'm always at the lane asking people questions and watching peoples approach and release. I can't hook for crap, lol.

    well i can give you an ok breakdown of coverstocks to help you out some

    i dont know if your looking to lern about the game its self or more of the tech behind it

    as far as coverstocks go you have a few differnt types

    reactive perl\solid
    particle(sp)
    poly (plastic)

    those are just the main ones i think you shoudl know about

    now the reactive coverstock is going to give you more lenth with backend the reactive solid will read the lane a little sooner but still give you alot of leth for a soil factory dull ball

    the particle balls tend to roll alot earlier out of the box give you more of a mid lane roll and not be affected by the over\under or carrydown as much beacuse it reads the lane much earlier

    poly= whitedot or houseball 3pc core comes in all weights your average (beginer ball)

    as far as advice and watching people im not tooting my own horn or anything but if you want i can come up to the shop a little early one day and anwser some questions you have more indeptch since i would have teching aids and if you wanna watch my goofy ass throw the ball your also more than welcome haha

    and "hooking" the ball is all about release and what kind of ball is in your hands

    yes the lane condition also matter but youd prob wanna focus more on they type of equipent your throwing and how you roll the ball learning patterns will come later
