Title: Feel bad about your game? Dig this!
Post by: Ernie McCracken on January 08, 2004, 09:09:30 PM: Not sure why I want to post this. Maybe it will make me feel better or something. Last night, I go 250-something, 240-something, 138! How do you like them apples? Why the he11 do you think I'm dwelling on this? So I shot my low game of the past 4 years, so what! UGH!!!!!!

I shot 207-211-162 / 580. One less split and I would've broken 600

I hear Jeffrevs will be starting a clinic to teach the finer points of faking an injury. Sign up for that and never have a horrible 3rd game again!

Post by: Shaggy on January 09, 2004, 11:58:44 PM: I know a scratch bowler that threw a 742 series one week and then comes back the next week to bowl a 480 series. The bowler averages around 210.

You will not see me on the PBA Tour, but I love the game!!!

Post by: Megan Simon on January 10, 2004, 12:09:15 AM: Thursday night: 164, 268, 279 = 711. The first game I was crushing one lane and couldn't carry on the other. Finally for games 2 and 3 I changed balls on the bad lane. Most of the time when you shoot a 160 game you're hoping to break 600 that night, and aren't even thinking of breaking 700!

Post by: RaginCajun on January 10, 2004, 08:27:06 AM: Something in the air lastnight cause i shot 257-213-186. I think my demize was thinking 700 after the second game. I started leaving that darn 10 pin again. I think carry down was the culprit this time. Oh well i will try again next week.

Post by: matt smith on January 10, 2004, 08:35:10 AM: I BEET YOU ALL! i average 200-210 range, and ive been having thumb troubles latly. So my coach and i decided to take out my thumb holes a bit so i could wear tape when i bowl. My thumb was coming out SO INSANLY QUICK i couldnt hold onto the ball, i was dropping it on every shot without fail. I bowled 173 109 138 100. you read right. Needless to say me and my coach put it down to a learning excercise and are plugging and redrilling my thumbs again!

good luck and high scoring
matt

Post by: Scolai on January 10, 2004, 06:22:15 PM: Yep. It's a bug of some kind. Three weeks ago Monday: 154, 279, 256. Switching balls for game 2 was the best move I could have made.

If horse racing is the sport of kings, then surely bowling is a very good sport as well.

Peace Out,

Post by: laner7pin on January 11, 2004, 08:44:49 AM: recently in my "non sanctioned" league I went 237-268 (first 8)-137. If I had the ball reaction/carry as in the first 2 games, an 800 was not out of the question, had a solid 700 locked if I could have done something, but I went split/washout city the 3rd game. Oh well, they happen, but for some strange reason, we always come back for more; to either throw more salt in the wounds, or redeem ourselves. For me, its always more salt in the wounds......

Post by: ThongPrincess on January 14, 2004, 01:13:24 AM: Tonight 154-110-244 The last game I got tired of trying to figure out the lanes and pulled out the old Blue Hammer and played 5 board. I should have done that sooner.

Post by: LuvThatWhiteDot on January 14, 2004, 08:21:02 AM: Monday: 168-133-162 / 463. At least I got to throw the White Dot!

On a 26 team league, TWO people broke 500. The lanes were fried like Chinese rice.

Post by: Gene J Kanak on January 14, 2004, 11:19:47 AM: A few weeks ago went 286, 200, 128! Now, after banging splits in three of the first four frames I was already defeated in my match so I switched balls and lines the rest of the way to line up for game 4, but that's still some pretty terrible shooting! I suck.

Bowling is without a doubt the dumbest, most pointless, most idiotic excuse for a game that has ever been invented. So, what time are we bowling tomorrow?
