I don't think I've ever tried to show anybody up. Cause as soon as you open your mouth, there's ALWAYS gonna be somebody that grinds you into the dirt and then smiles at you. I'd like to say that most of the time, I keep pretty quiet when I'm bowling the better bowlers. I go up, throw my shot, yell at myself if it's bad, and sit down. The better bowlers hit the pocket 95% of the time. The only opening you find is that one shot they stick on, the spare they miraculously miss, or the shot they don't strike on. The last two times I've bowled one of them at one particular house, he's shot 771 and 774 at me. I got one point from him, and it took 279 to do it. I think people think I'm cocky, but it's more or less just excitement. This is only my 4th year bowling, so I'm still getting used to things, there's always things to learn, and things I haven't accomplished yet. I just want to prove I belong with the better bowlers, because I know I do. I have to find that one thing that makes me as consistent as they are, and I think I'm getting close. Consistency is the name of the game. Find a line you can hit the pocket with, make SMALL adjustments to help you carry better and stick with it. There are those arrogant bowlers though, know a few of them . .

"Oh I'll find those stairs, I whip they butt too. They won't know which way they going. Give me a step right here and now, I'll step all over it, kick it to the curb. I am the stair masta, I've masta'd the stairs."
