What Do U Really Think U Can Avg
« on: March 02, 2009, 07:34:32 AM »
Reguardless of what you are bowling currently and what they say in the books what do you really think you can avg...  I promise I want tell...

Currently I believe I can corry a 210 avg.....

Not sure if that is a good thing -- 2 high to get pins and not high enough to win another big...

What do you think is your true avg...

I think if all conditions were right, I had enough money for lessons on a regular basis with a high level coach, I had time to practice instead of trying to earn a living, I lived closer to a center so that it took me less then 1/2 hour to get to and from bowling sessions......I think I could average over 220.  

But life is imperfect.  I have to earn a living.  I have to work.  I cannot spend every night practicing in a center at the times they have open play available.  I have paid for high level coaches in the past, but the cost and travel time to get to them now is prohibative.  Plus she moved away.

If I was bowling on a tough pattern week in and week out 190+, but since I bowl on a house shot I'm at 225.

I like the hard stuff better.

I dont understand all this polyanna thinking.

Your average reflects your ability on that condition.

You can if I did this

But if I had this

and if they would do this

In the end

"If, ands, or buts were candy and nuts what a merry christmas we would have."

Your current average reflects your ability on that condition. period.

I am pretty sure I could work my way up to a 200 average, or at least in the high 190ies. I currently have a 186 book average for this season so far, and there's definitively more to tap.
I just have no time for frequent training (2-3 times a week, at the moment I am happy if I can play once a week ), and lots of work at the job direct personal resources away from the sport.

Well in the summer for a 10 week season we had a solid shot that didn't break down and I hit 230

With crazy carry down and burnt up track I'm averaging 215

I'm gonna go with 230

If I used the same equipment week to week my average would probably improve.  I like taking four different balls with me each week to try to figure them out.  Pretty stupid, I admit, but it's really a lot of fun.

Probably mid 240s with any carry, averaging about 8-12 corner pins a night currently.
