I got our weekly rankings and we have plummetted in the standings but 5 weeks into the season here are the total pins for me and two of my team mates.

2785 me
2794 #2
2787 #3

9 pins seperating three of us after 15 games.

 

[AUFred]

I wish I could put three good games together.

[AUFred]

180-208-194 Mr. Consistency tonight.

I bowled a 78 my last time out. I got a strike and promptly followed it up with a couple of gutter balls. :cool

 

[AUFred]

Our anchor bowler was away last night so we added a sub. Our team leader moved me to anchor which means if the game is tight it was up to me. I finished all three games well. We won all three games. 183-192-201 on the night. First game a strike & a spare, second & third game two strikes & a 9 count.

 

[AUFred]

255-189-193 good night total pin count wise but worked hard for those scores. We split the points for the night.

 

[AUFred]

bumps my average this year up to 192.

 

[AUFred]

The new ball:

Nice ball :nod: I own a similar bowling ball too but it has streaks of light blue and red in color and with almost same pattern/ design

When i first saw the title of this thread, i thought Kegler's is some favourite hang out place of yours.

That's good to know what it means and that there's a bowler at forum. Gotta say- there's something new to be learned everyday

I used to be a part of a league too, years ago. But of course, i don't score as high as you do. Kudos to you for that :thumbup I miss playing bowling- had not played in about 4 years now

That's how I throw them. I have never been able to get the knack of curving the ball in. I just can't for some reason.

Curving ball is not my forte' too. I was taught the technique on several occasions but never learned it for some odd reason :ninja

 

[AUFred]

I bowl a pretty fair hook.

 

[purpledove]

Maybe there's a trick you can share to me about a hooking shot that no one had told me before When I tried their techniques, I felt like I was twisting my elbow and wrist out of place- I just can't seem to get it

A lot depends on how the ball is drilled. Mine are all fingertip drill as opposed to traditional drilling. Regardles the key is for the thumb to exit the ball first and the fingers to come out as you lift upward on release.

 

[purpledove]

Would you recommend maybe a lighter ball to do the hook? I am thinking with a 12 lb ball that i have and if i go for a fingertip drill, i might not have enough strength to carry the ball OR might end up lofting the ball :willy_nilly:

 

[AUFred]

Depends on your size. A 12 pound ball I would recommend for most ladies unless they are truly small. I see a lot of 10 pound balls deflecting and not finishing resulting in few strikes.

Last night my son and I went to the bowling lanes. They were doing cosmic bowling with the blacklights, flashing lights & loud music. I really was not going in thinking we would be serious bowling and we started off goofing around until we started competing. I bowled a 130 the first game just messing around and then I turned it up a notch or two. The next three games were 201-227-249.

I started with a 10 lb ball. But as you did say, it wasn't creating the impact i needed to hit more pins. 11 lb ball produced the same results like the 10 lb ball I was then recommended the 12 lb- which is just right if i have the traditional drills hence my concern as to the fingertip drilling for a curve shot. Maybe it's worth the try soon with your tip. Thanks

I love cosmic bowling :nod: It's when out of the league games, we do this not for the high scores but just for FUN
