My best week of bowling.......ever!!
« on: April 04, 2004, 09:54:10 AM »
This past weekend I shot 834 at the Michigan state tournement. I shot games of 257 277 300.  That was on Sunday and Monday I turned around and shot 765 (200 299 266).  Thursday I came back and shot 793 (255 300 238).  Although I have had good stretches before, this is prolly going to be my best week of bowling ever and I had to share it with someone.  Thanks for listening!!

Thanks rlamanna.... I picked up a Columbia Formula about a month ago and have averaged 234 since. I usually average any where from 213-217.  I know that a certain ball can't account for everything, but finding a ball that matches up with a bowlers style really does help.

Wow, nice shooting.  Doing so during a tournament is even more impressive.  Congratulations.

Sorry.....My first post may have been a little miss leading.  I shot the 834 during the team event of the State Tourney.  The other two sets were shot during league.  Thanks though.

Luckylefty.... I don't have the ball with me right now but i think it is set up something like this...O O     with no balance hole.
                        Pin
                        Cg
                       O
As for my style goes, I would say that I am more of a side roller than an up the backer, although I can do either.  My ball speed is around 17-18 mph.  I'm not sure how many revs I put on the ball but I do have a good amount of hand.

Once again, Thanks everyone...........Joe
