Hey Co,
the bowling is doing fine..so nice to just get out of the house, drink a few beers, swear and have fun...
last week I sucked like a 12 year old virgin at the vatican: 126-154-162 worst I've done all season....it's a bit of a screwoff league and I'm embrassingly in first place on average with a 180 (I took a couple years off with a bum shoulder, so am just starting to get back into it). When I took the time off, 180 wouldn't have even been high average on my team....I want to get back into some serious action....the team I had bowled on before, we were so competetive it forced me to better...I was at 195 and the team average was 191
I agree with cal that you ned your own ball and shoes...you can slide better with your own shoes and get a little more on the ball...also, with it custom drilled to your own hand (I suggest getting the thumb hole a little bigger, because your hand swells over the course of a couple games...I have two...one I use for my first shot, then a cheapie polyester ball that goes straighter for spares on the right hand side. I'm thinking of getting a 3rd ball for the last half of the 3rd game when my hand starts swelling and the oil on the lanes breaks down a bit more...don't get your ball at walmart..go to a good pro shop at your local bowling center and talk at length with the salesman. Let them know if you are a serious bowler, recreational bowler or looking to get into a league and looking to get a bit more serious. They'll set you up with the right ball, shoes, etc. I personally recomend the new Storms...it's a reactive resin ball that breaks hard at the end (of course I have mine drilled top heavy for a little extra tumble at the end of the lane) and will run about $150-180
wow, from fisticuffs to artsy fartsy teen porn films to bowling in the same thread
