Any Bowlers out there???

[1986nate]

Hey everyone, Just wondered if anyone else out there bowls on a league or just likes to bowl for fun.

I do it for fun. It's one of those activities I keep forgetting about until I get lost with a few friends and we run across one. I'm always forced to use the heavier balls because my fingers won't fit in the lighter ones 16lbs for 4 games or so takes a toll on some weird nerves for the night.

Weakling JK. I use 2 16lb balls and the other night I bowled 11 games I think with one of my friends. I have also bowled 27 games in one night before with about 7 of them bowled left handed.

When I go out with friends, I just go and have a good time and we play for a few bucks.

I also bowl on a league right now and have a 186 average. I got one of my friends old balls about 2 months ago and since I started using that I have a 205 average. My old ball that I now use for spares is 12 years old so it was time for a change.

He was even down here in S.A. not that long ago for some big bowling thing?

Pfft, I'll have you know it's all in the technique. People keep telling me I'm holding the ball wrong, but I really don't go often enough to care. I've never done it competitively, just for fun.

I am completely self taught. I started in junior leagues in 4th grade just throwing about as hard as I could every ball and slowly just changed things over the years. I'm still pretty "raw" when compared to most league type bowlers in the fact that I just look at the pins and bowl, never look at the arrows for aiming and never pay attention to where I start my approach.

That's awesome! I've never had the courage to enter any type of tournys ever. I put too much pressure on myself and never really think I'm any good. I went to a state tourny in 2003 that I qualified in juniors and bowled my a$$ off in a regional only to do terrible at state (going from true wood lanes to full synthetic with aggressive oiling pattern really sucked)
