Bowling

[Amorok]

So I'm bowling in my league. Been doing it for a few months. Bought a ball and everything, and I've been practicing a lot. Jesus Christ I suck.

[rogue]

Heh...I can't bowl worth shit either. I love to play though! :D

Practice, practice, practice! :dthumb:

[Mrs. Colleen]

I am a PRO Wii bowler! :dthumb:

:leaving:

[njchopper87]

I used to bowl all the time, and I got pretty damn good. Then I stopped, and now I can't bowl for shit.

[Smittie61984]

There is absolutely no way you can suck worse than I do. I think the highest I've ever gotten is a 40 or so. But I haven't seen anyone chunk a ball as fast as I could yet.

I wish I was good at bowling but mainly so I could wear the pimptastic shoes.

:lol: I'm right there with ya... 47 handy cap... :panic:


but I bowl straight... and better with at least two shots of Jack in me.

So I bowled three games last night. Some great highlights - my first game I double guttered one frame, got like six gutters total. I also got a turkey - WTF?! First game was a 63, second was a 115, third was a 145. I have no idea what my average has ended up being, and this on the same night I got a 160 patch from a few weeks ago. Someone needs to punch me in the head.

Note: Unless you look like Bill Murray with a comb-over, you will suck at bowling.

We had a "team building" for work at one of the local bowling alleys. I watched one of my co-workers bowl a full 10 frame game with a final score of 6.

You guys could do much worse.

6?

Jesus H Christ...

I'm no Pro But I can get above 100...

Now Wii Bowling, I will ROCK You all

[fasternyou929]

6?

Jesus H Christ...

It was most impressive, especially when you factor in the arrogant personality. He's a marathon runner, which apparently does not require an iota of coordination. :lol:

[racedoll]

You will get better. Just give it time.

I think my average is about 105 or so. A little higher if I'm bowling on a regular basis.
Thought about joining a league, but haven't yet.

[Amorok]

Meh, I'm working on it. I've been going off league nights during lunch. I guess just bowling a lot will help.

I use to have an hour lunch, work was 2 blocks from the bowling alley. They sold "all you can bowl" monthly passes for $40. Went 4 days a week and rolled 4 games during lunch. My average went from 140 to 160 in 3 months. Practice makes all the difference, keep at it, your average will improve. :dthumb:

Wow, I havent bowled in 15 years or more... It might be ok drunk. I cant imagine playing sober. Although i'd like to see how far I can overhand one of those balls. But thats not allowed is it???

[Porkchop]

My highest game ever was like 198..... soooo close to breaking 2.

I threw a 6 pounder down the lane once just for kicks, I'm lucky no one working there saw me.. it's kind of easy to spot a ball flying over the lane.

[Tsunami]

try mini bowling! Its really easy.

I noticed if i lob the bowling ball halfway down the lane so it has less area to roll, it usually goes straight i hit way more pins.:dthumb:

[JoshuaTree]

I used to be a 160-180 Average bowler, but now probably couldn't manage a consistent 140-160 game. :shrug: Regular league game practice will make you better. Bowling on the same lane in the same house will help get you started, but eventually you'll have to know how to adapt to varying lane conditions.

"Beverage" consumption will affect bowlers differently just like throwing darts. Some folks can't hit the broad side of a barn with a dart unless they've had about 6-8 pints of Guiness or Harp, not that I'm acquainted with anyone who actually did that...:whistle:

[Dave]

use the marks to help you aim ;)

[Cutty72]

Wii bowling FTW, that's all i have to say.

[Amorok]

I'm pretty awesome at the wii bowling. Suck at the lanes.

[101lifts2]

I'm about a 150-170 avg with a kick ass 1-3 pin hook. I can ride the ball right on the right edge of the lane and hook it into the 1-3 pins at the last second. Twisting the ball just before you release it will get it to spin, then when it slows down it will catch the lane and hook. Of course you need the speed correct or it will hook too soon or too late.

[Tmall]

I do the same on wii bowling. I throw a nasty curve and compensate. I aver about 220.

hey we'll hit up the lanes... I'll be back with the bike this weekend... :D
