Something I just noticed with my average..
« on: February 20, 2007, 01:17:00 PM »
Okay, i was just looking at my averages throught the years, and its pretty weird..

03-04: 127
04-05: 146
05-06: 164
06-07: 185 (so far)

Did anyone else do something like this? I mean i increased each season by almost 20 pins.. i don't understand. Is this good, or inconsistent?

I agree with sixcranker.  Keep raising the bar no matter what.  If you peak in average then start setting goals to perform in tough tournaments...play different parts of the lane better.

There is ALWAYS a way to push yourself to improve.

Keep it up!

Depending on your age, how much you work at it and where you are in your bowling career, it's common to see really fast gains at certain points.  With the kids I coach, the ones that listen tend to display slow growth at the beginning followed by a strong jump once everything falls into place.

After about 10 years you would average 300

I'm the same way, FT.  Went from 128 in 02-03 to 150 the next year, then 160, 170, and now 180 in 06-07.  Just the way it is when you start in the 120s and begin to bowl seriously.  It's a great time because you get all your big firsts.  Your first 200, 225, 250, 500, 600,...  I've got all of those so far and got close to 700 once (682).  Don't have any honor scores yet.  

It's also a great time to be bowling handicap tourneys.  You're not sandbagging but you're still improving and unless they have a rule that requires you to use your new average if it's X pins higher than your card, you have a better chance of making some money.
