I just feel that bowling isn't as fun as it use to be, when bowling with urethane stuff was tuff. I remember only having three balls, the Blue Dull Hammer, Burgundy Hammer, and a Red Pearl Hammer, and averaged 190 in juniors with those. Very good rolling balls, and had to work for everything that I bowled. Screw this 'not hitting the ball stuff'. No days, everyone has to carry 5 or more balls in order to compete.
I guess it just was ment for me to just move on and keep sticking with racing.

Maybe you need a better, more generic set of bowling balls for your league or some coaching.
Bowling can certainly be fun even if you don't shoot 700 every night. I regard some of the fun as being able to overcome certain challenging conditions with balls and/or release changes. EVen if I am not 100% successful, the challenge makes it fun.
Also try some less expensive leagues or get into fewer brackets and pots; that tends to take some pressure off.
Try some practice or stop by on a random night or two at your local or other center and see if some league needs a sub; maybe meeting new people this way will help relax you a little.

) Dont worry about league, i dont bowl one. That was the problem for me. I just need to bowl when ever i feel like it, not every week same time same day. Take your time off, but come back, you wont regret it!good luck and high scoring

I do have some great stuff in my bag and closet, older stuff, just dont like any of the new stuff.
This is also sick to me is that we have a guy who has a 250 average, bowled 42 as of today, and just wacking them. Just plain unthinkable. Put him on a sport shot, averages 190.

I was getting a little disheartned until i began having coaching.
It was then that I found out how much there is to this game. So much to learn and so many challenges. In a way I feel sorry for the guys who can just come bowl shoot 220+ on a wall and go home.
In my eyes they are missing out on a fascinating sport. When you are working at it, the game gives you so much as a reward.
I hope the break and the coaching rekindle your love for the sport.
