Hey bucket, I'm a bowler, unfortunately I have not done it in a while since I moved though. I used to bowl regularly in my dad's league for a number of years. I'm only 25, but I started bowling and loving the game at about.....14 or 15. Since I moved about two or three years ago I have not been in a league, but I sure do miss it. I throw an old blue wolf with a white dot as my spare ball. My dad was real buddies with the lane owner and the pro shop guy is one of his best friends so I always got the hook up on free bowling and whatnot. Boy, I sure do miss it. Not many people 25 and under like the game other than to do for fun once and a while. What do you average at the young age of 17?
yeah its just practice practice practice. i bowl all the time and im around bowlers everyday of the week so u get tips just being around. my boss has coached me since i was 14. then i started working at the proshop and it really does help just learnig equipment and what balls work with what lane conditions, and now we do new drillings that use angles and distance from your track in your bowling ball, and this makes drilling better in the fact that u can drill a ball knowing exactly what it is going to do before you even drill it.
I used to bowl seriously. Had every new ball that came out for quite awhile. Custom made shoes, etc...Then I blew out my shoulder, and had to quit.. I was bummed out for a long time. Bowling was the only sport I was ever good at.:sadcrying4: It used be you only had to carry a 205 average to turn pro. Not sure what it is now.
footscoot i believe the average has to be 210 now. but the shots the pros bowl on are so difficult that its tough to even bowl 200. we have a pba experience league in our center and i won the youth division woth a 175 average and in the mens the highest average was 205 and this is a 50 lane center. and also on another note footscoot my dad has been haveing shoulder pain for the last year and a recent knee surgery so im not sure how much longer hell be in it. thank you Tom s.
Ive been bowling since i was 8 or 9 and i turn 17 tomorrow. I bowl seriously in youth leagues every saturday morning. I also used to bowl on my high school team but we got a new coach who doesnt know his :censure: from a hole in the ground so i didnt join this year nor will next year. I average around 185 and roll mainly a Rival and when the lanes get too dry i switch to a crossfire. I use a BUBLEGUM PINK :thumbsup: whitedot for my spareball lol.
