I bowl for fun. I kinda suck at it but I won't blame that on the beer and pizza.

I figured I was the only one that bowled that way, nice to see someone else out there who bowls unconventionally.

My roommate and Tass (who both went to the same high school and were both bowling captains) are both very good bowlers -- Tass has the upper hand though. I believe he clocked a 300 not too long ago (maybe a few months).

I, on the other hand, am the worst bowler in the world, but I still find it fun.

All the balls at the place I bowl at has the thumb hole way too close and the only ball thats close to what Id need to use my thumb is a 16 pounder and meant for a man twice my size and I'm a pretty decent size. This makes me want to go bowling now.

School tryouts tomorrow. I already on the team (coaches say so) but it's 2 hours of free bowling, so eh, more fun.

*jealous* I wish with all my heart I was at a school that had bowling. GS (good skill instead of good luck) with your bowling

I used to bowl regularly. But now I have not gone in years. My ave when I was going was around the 240 area I can't remember the highest I believe it was in the 280 area. I never did get to hit that 300 :/

I know a lot of people who bowl like that. Its preferred mostly by people who are just starting out here in New Mexico.

I'm an okay bowler. Average 160's and high game 225, i think. I bowl kinda similar to Chris Barnes. In fact I taught my self how to bowl watching him on tv and some youtube videos.

I use to be insane at bowling as a kid (have quite a few bowling trophies above me right now,) but slowly stopped playing as I got into hockey.

I want to join leagues. I just never have time.

**rsr2** · 11-17-2009, 01:14 AM

I use to bowl on a league. The way I bowl is two handed like Jason Belmonte. The highest game I bowled on the league was 266. After that I just started going down hill and after going to college I have been bowling twice...

Kasumi-chan · 11-17-2009, 01:20 AM

My average is in the 210's right now because I'm slumping. Left handed: Dominately straight bowling, but can throw out if need to. Bowled 300 a few times, high series is 793. I usually bowl house pattern, but I can play on competitive oil patterns as well; averaged 210 on Viper, 225 on Cheetah, 215 on Shark, 200 on Chameleon, 190 on Scorpion...

**Adamaja456** · 11-17-2009, 06:00 AM

i love bowling. i actually used to go to a bowling camp which was basically super reduced prices and you got to free bowl every for like 5 hours for a week. and they would teach you techniques and stuff(like 12-15 years old)

but bowling is super fun, i havent bowled in years. I'd pick it up again if it was free

scorpion's usually the hardest that 44 foot oil pattern can be killer if you don't slow down that ball speed.

haha candlepin is the ****. I remember having so much fun when I did that back when I used to bowl regularly

**revolutionomega** · 11-17-2009, 11:23 AM

I used to bowl a lot more when we had two lanes instead of one.
My average is about 140ish and my high game all-time was somewhere around 220ish.

I also really love the xtreme bowling (with the black lights and whatnot) and I go duck-pin bowling when I'm in Maryland visiting the relatives

Pretty damn enjoyable
