High average in your house?
« on: November 02, 2003, 10:38:36 PM »
What is the high average in your house? I see a lot of people posting up 220+ in the post titled "What's your average?". The high average booked in my house last year was 218. Are you guys bowling on cake shots or what? Post up what the high average is and where your from.

The house I bowl in the Highest average in the house currently is 228, the last 2 years it was 224, and only about 4 people carry 220+ averages there and it is a horse race to see which one will be the highest at the end of the year. Those guys are pretty good though, they never seem to come home empty handed from a tournament. The house I bowl in is not the easiest place in the area (wash DC) but it is not the hardest either. One house 230 wouldn't get you in the top 5 tops in that one was 247 (lefty of course).

High average last year was 243, the highest average in all of Eastern Long Island.  Same guy this year is again high average, with a 239.

A couple others 230+, several more 220+.  The shot is a typical crown, with a puddle in the middle and 3-4 units outside of 8.  If you can turn it up, you have several time zones of area.

Funny thing is, the guy with the highest average is a pretty straight player, basically up the boards between 1st and 2nd arrow.  He's just machine-like in the way he repeats shots and maintains ball speed.

that may be the high in your league but I doubt the house, never heard of a house where there isnt anyone atleast over 200 ever, either its a 1 league like 6 lane house or its your league only

Silencer the guy that averages 192 bowled in this years British Open and averaged 206 over about 18 games. Finished top 50 and wasnt a left hander.
League is singles scratch over 4 games/week, season is 58 weeks and were on about 37 now.
Hes a top class act and used to bowl with all of the big guns this side of the pond. Only bowls for fun now, but he is still very good.
Dont forget this is the UK and I dont think anyone here knows how to put out a wall, if we even wanted one.

The high in my Thurs. night house is currently a 187.  Its a 36 lane house with Anvilane, Frameworx, and all the modern convienences.  However, we are currently the only competitive league (others are have-a-ball type leagues) and the shot is very, very demanding.  Its not an official Sport condition--that would be an upgrade.  I love bowling there because it challenges you to constantly adjust and to be very accurate. After this house, my other leagues are a cake-walk.  I can bowl badly in another house and out average my Thurs average by 20 sticks.
