P.S. I made all my 10 pins.
P.S.S. I left so many splits it was unbelievable - especially the 4-9. My power is hurting my scores now.

I bet ya if you added a new dimension to your game, called playing straight, you'd be better off. Then again what do I know, I'm just a 10 board dumping, fluffing, lefty, with no skill.

Then you mentioned "started playing 30-35 out to 2-3"?
wow

Why are you sticking your balls in the snow? You know they'll turn blue on you if you that long enough. But that would be the start of your problems right there.

--------------------
There was no traction the first game and I had to play at like 20 and out to 5. By the third game I was going coast-to-coast literally LOL. The other team thought I was going to throw it in the gutter because the ball was on the edge haha.
Also, I was striking a lot and getting only 190's because I never got anything more than a turkey all night and if I didn't strike I left splits. I only had one 10 pin all night, several 7 pins (all made), rest pretty much splits (4-9, 4-7-9, 4-10, etc.). The 4 pin always stays up LOL!

Those things are a lot harder than their 1980's predecessors and won't bounce off the cushion like the ol' days.

Did I miss something? I never saw any mention of a blue dot being used.
Couldn't find any friction but playing 20-5? Unless you're using a BLue Dot or throwing 7.35 MPH, playing from fourth arrow to the ditch isn't for a lack of friction.

Say what you want but I am the most honest person on this site. You don't hear me saying how I have the highest average, how I can beat everyone here, or how I am the best bowler. I even ask for tips a lot. Be nice.
Striking 7 times and not getting over 200 makes you sad. Like that song, "you'd cry toooooo if it happened to youuuuuuu" da da da dun!

Get a clue, idiot. You might know how to rev a ball but you don't know how to BOWL! Why do you even bother to tell us what line you were playing when we all know you can't consistently hit your mark. If you could, you would make ten pin spares throwing a plastic ball. Get some coaching and learn how to play different lines. You truly are feeble.
Go check VT's ranking nationally in bowling between 2001-2006. In the words of Apu: "Thank you, come again!"
EDIT: In case you can't find it:
Collegebowling.com
2001-02 - was not recorded but I started bowling that season and we were in the top 20 all year
2002-03 - Ranked 43rd
2003-04 - Ranked 23rd
2004-05 - Not ranked
And guess what, I left the team around 03-04 and joined the fun league on campus where I ranked 1st in average hehe.

So we are suppose to be impressed since you were on a team that was ranked 23rd at the highest? I guess we have a bowling god in here. Let's see I have bowled against and beat Jeremy Sonnenfield what does that mean for me? I have bowled against and beating a guy that bowled on tour for awhile do I get extra points for that? Better yet I have also beat a guy that is high up on the USBC board while he was living in Sioux Falls. Do any of those get me extra points?

LOL, I was just showing that I know how to bowl. Nothing more and nothing less. Too many people on this site take bowling wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too seriously. Bowling has 1 flaw that will always make it not quite up there with real sports and specifically other sports that I compete in - the 300 game limit. I have always said from day 1, that anyone on this planet can beat anyone else on this planet regardless of experience, form, or anything else simply because of the limits in the game of bowling. You or anyone else could beat WRW just by throwing it straight down the lane and getting lucky one game. Unlike any other sport and even golf, bowling's 300 game limit will always allow for the possibility of defeat to even the highest average bowlers.

My 2 cts is start having fun and stop thinking so much. As for how you play yes a direct line to the pocket MAY help but play "YOUR" game. I dont see why folks think that if you throw the ball on a rope that you will score.
Those scores arent bad you just couldnt CARRY all styles suffer this unfortunately. Thats when a LIGHT BULB medium range ball comes in effect.
The new equipment IMHO was created for lower rev players or mach 10 speed. I dont know what you were throwing but just start having fun and watch the bowlers around you score that has similarities to "YOUR" game. I call this going to school, lol hop in the same line and ride it.
Vertigo and Gravity Shift both polished heavily. Maybe I should try the Tropical that I make fun of so much LOL.
