Does anyone here bowl?

[02csnow]

I am very advid bowler and was wondering if anyone else here bowls and what kind of ball do they use. Looking into getting a new one.

[b train]

I have Blue Hammer that is 13yrs old that I still love

[scherry2]

I'm a 180 avg bowler. I love the gameI'm going to get a new ball and I'm going to have the local pro shop watch me and suggest one.I stand on the second arrow on the left and roll down the inside of the second arrow on the right and drive in at the tail end. I'd like to get either a black widow or hawg from hammer. there are so many to choose from...

I avg 218. Im using a columbia wild and a columbia drive right now, but looking to get something new with an early break. My frined has a black widow and i partically dont like it. my other friend has the hawg and that thing has some serious RG to it.

i used to bowl but stoped when i turned 16 due to getting a job and not having time, i had an avg around 150. my ball is a matrix, dont remember the maker (i'm at college and its at home)i'm a lefty

I like to play! However I have not played in a very long time.

i love bowling... but two jobs is not letting me do it much. and i use alley balls and average a 175-ish

I should mention that I am a lefty, so I am standing pretty far right, and breaking right... most ppl hate my ball. To which I respond, get it outa ur right hand

[Mrizzle05]

i can do ok lefty... used to practice, got strikes and spares once and a while.

im alright at bowling..i guess my average is about 150..highest i ever got was about 219

My game gets better after 3 beers... or I care less about my game, hmmmm

[02csnow]

Usually i am pretty consistent on my games. My high is 290 and then 279 ( 26 times ). Im still trying to get that 300.

it's a hard feat..kinda like a hole-in-one in golf...it can be done..but it's hard to do every time despite how hard you try..even though i'd say a hole-in-one is a lil harder to do then bowl a 300..

It only takes one wrong move in bowling to mess up a perfect game, and even when you get the ball right where you want it, sometimes the pins just dont work for you. In golf you can get the right stroke and distance but the ball does'nt work for you.

I bowl very often... In fact, I will challenge any Vibe owner to a match, My car versus theirs. My latest ball is an Ebonite Infinite One, but it hooks too much. I can't use it very often. I use an Ebonite Black Ice more often. I have about 16 300 games, and about 6 800+ series. Bowling is my passion.

And how would the format go and how would posting scores go?

[RIT]

3 game match - total score wins. We can meet half way. The winner has to drive 2 cars home, and the loser has to take the bus home. Just kidding sort of, but I would gladly bowl against any Vibe owner. I'm not the best, but I do OK. We bowl on pretty easy conditions in the Capital District of NY.

thats alot of games..cant believe u've remember that much..lol..i've probably played about 150 games..if that..once drunk..which was kinda fun..cept when i threw the ball in the other lane..but miraculously(sp) i got a strike..so we counted it lol...as for the hole in one vs 300 game..i still think a hole in one is more difficult..much more conditions to consider..the wind..the dryness/wetness of the green..the spin of the ball..and as u said..distance and accuracy..plus the elevation and break of the green too..

i used to be in 2 leagues, a saturday morning league, and a sunday travel league. i carried about a 180-185 average, with my highest game at 257. i was in a lot of tournaments, and won state in teams and took 9th in doubles(the lanes were horrible for the doubles round). i took city in singles, teams, and doubles. i wanted to work on my game some more so i could go pro, but other priorities came first and i never got back into it like i did. now i just go for fun, but still hit 180+ consistently. i have 3 ebonite balls. a 15lb resin tidal wave, 16lb resin tidal wave wipeout, and a 16lb clear plastic skull ball.

i used to bowl on a league a few years ago, but it got too expensive. beer costs a lot at the bowling alley.i have bowled probably 5 200+ games. none of them while sober...
