Title: What is your LOWEST game ever?
Post by: Psychoballtester on July 11, 2003, 11:36:04 AM
Hey B-Ball Reviewians,
Yeah!,I heard it right YOUR lowest?

Come on I'm not ashamed,I tell you exactly my lowest ever!

It was a "51",and I did this over 13+ years ago bowling left handed
in a league.

I was in my learning stages of the left side.A few TOO many gutter balls that game!Did some DROPPING the shoulder too!I dont remember if I used my Columbia Yellow Dot or plastic light early 70's American b-ball?I used both that night.

What made this worse was MY SEMI DRUNK older brother had it announced over the intercom!!He got a big THRILL out of it!

He and half of my league,HECK,all three leagues that heard my horrible game talked about it for about 2 weeks!I also found out later some people in my league made "side bets" on how bad I'd bowl that game!

There ya have it,my all time LOW!

Whats yours?


I hope more will follow,I hope,think,I dunno.I know its kind of a hokey
post,BUT its very much bowling related.

(I'm sure I'll get at least one reply?)

Bowling right handed for fun, not in league, I shot a 39 game.  I did have the footwork correct, but not the armswing

I'm sure I've bowled my share of sub 100's in league but recently the low has been like a 120 something.

I can't really remember anything lower than a 130-something.  Everyone has low games when they're starting out, but I know I haven't had a game under 100 since I started bowling again at 19.  Even lefthanded.

The only difference between youth and adult leagues are that the big boys are allowed to whine.  They're more entertaining anyway.

Im similar to hamster, never had a sub 100 (touch wood) but have been close once a 107 and I needed a spare in the 10th to get it
It was just after learning how to hook and I went on the desert lanes and was totally lost. I was standing in the left gutter and throwing out to board 2 or 3 as fast as I could.
I know better now thanks to you guys. Flat hand,flat hand!!!!!!

Thankfully, I didn't actually bowl this ... but ...

The night before the city women's tournament in February, my first ever tournament entry, I had a recurring dream that I bowled a 12 in team event. The next morning I showed up at the event convinced that the dream was some sort of omen. Told the team captain about it, and while she laughed, she did look at me with just a bit of fear in her eyes. Good news is that even though I was low average on the team, I shot second highest series for our team that day. Hmm ... maybe a 12 dream is a good thing. Get the bad shots out of the way in my sleep.

Lowest game I ever bowled.....17! I was 5 years old, the first time I had ever bowled. Lowest game I ever shot in league was a 118, had 7 splits and 2 washouts. Lots of fun that night let me tell ya. Did shoot 30 once, when playing "lowball". I was happy cause I won $100 though...

My all-time low was a 7 (pre-bumper days). My very first game was a 38.  My recent low was a 129.

10. When I was 10. 8 frames of zero, a one count in the 9th, and 9 in the 10th.
I remember, because my cousin was in town - she always thought she was the best and the toughest at everything - so I was trying to show off and beat her.

Now - this score was PRE BUMPER days. I wonder what it would have been with bumpers???

I have a sanctioned 96 to my credit.  That was about 10 years ago in my first full league.  

My lowest sanctioned series in recent memory is a blistering 426 that I shot the day our center reopened after resurfacing the entire house.  Someone neglected to tell the lane tech that he needed to put out some oil afterwards.  The ball was starting its turn at about 25 feet.  I chopped so many spares that night...

2-3 years ago I shot 128 in the Ozark open.  1st game of team events.  Had to double in the 10th to get that.  Pretty sure that's my lowest game in recent history.

lowest for me was in a major around here, they decided to purposefully lock left handers out. The tournament director was overheard by my and another lefty stating to a big name righty that no left hander will finish higher than 30th on what they put out for us. Boy was he right, no left hander finished above 50th, not one averaged over 160, i averaged 155 with a low game of 115, lwoest i've shot in probably 5 years
--------------------
am i still considered a lefty, i never get to play the left side of the lane

I bowled a 3 !!
Yep a 3!!! That was in a qualifying round of an in house tourney. My total for 3 games was..... 3!
I did it to prove a point. They had qualifying broken up into average brackets and they took the top 15 bowlers into the finals from each average bracket.
None of the top average guys would ever get in it...plus it was a tough house and there were not even 15 people in the whole center that fit in the 190 and up average bracket so even if they all entered I had a spot in the finals.
I bowled the 3 to prove a point...it was hard too. 3 on the 1st ball then all gutters. No one else got in the tourney in the 190 and above so I was top qualifier with a 3!!! That has to be a record right? I won something like $70 in the finals. All I had to do was throw a ball and I WIN!!

I shoot in the 30's and 40's quite regularly.  I try to bowl a game of corner pins at least once or twice a week.  Seems to help a little and people watching think I'm weird.

My lowest game lately has been a 138 on a sport shot.  I've probably had my share of 110's and 120's since i really got into bowling.

The lowest game i've ever seen bowled is a 0.  This was about a month ago in one of the youth leagues that i'm in.  The kid is probably around 4-5 years old.  He actually bowled a 0!  When he went up in the 10th frame, my friends started commentating quietly amongst themselves.  After he finished the 10th, half the league just started quietly laughing to themselves.
