Last night my roommate and I decided to go do some bowling. The local lanes have a $10.50 all you can bowl from 9:30-Midnight.
After bowling a few games we decided to try something differently. We both went to the rack and picked up 1 13 pound house ball to use for the remaining games. Let me just tell you what a BLAST that was. You talk about a premium on repeating shots and making spares! I had to move further left than I have played since I was about 15.
If I missed by even half a board, I was toast. I had to shoot straight at all my spares, and that was a lot of fun. I even picked up a 5-10 split and a 3-6-7 We bowled 4 games with the house balls, and I went 3-1. In the first game he threw 7 in a row to end the game with a 236. I never had a game over 180, but all 3 games were very consistent.
If you ever get bored, or feel like bowling isn't challenging you enough, I suggest picking up a ball that doesn't fit all that well, and doesn't hook, and fishing around to find something on the lanes.
Most fun I've had in a LONG time!
