I was curious...since I hardly have seen it even mentioned on this forum. Does anyone bowl? Or am I the only one here that bowls? :(

Ok My dad was a minor pro bowler but his genes were not passed on to me. I still have to put up the bumpers on the side.

but I like it (although I suck XD )

I usually play bowling, but only as a leisurely activity or sometimes and sometimes maybe evenn against a few mates but I'm too crap to actually compete against professional bowlers. :sad

Rarely bowl at all. I'm terrible, my best so far is probably triple strikes

Least some people come out and say they bowl...also, three strikes = turkey. :P
My average is 180-190ish. I've been on fire these past few weeks.

what type of ball do you use?
Kefka
09-20-2006, 06:44 PM
I use a Storm Fired Up bowling ball.
For 10-pin spares, I use a simple plastic Columbia white dot.

Hmm, my dad was sponsored by Coca-Cola so he just took whatever balls they gave him. And do the shoes really make a difference?

In my experience, damn yes! It cannot be too loose and it needs good grip :D.
As for the bowling ball, I use the defaults is what I like to call them xD. No idea if high quality bowling balls make a difference, probably do in terms of friction. My avg is usually around 100's xD.

I bowl as well but not regularly, but if I'm with someone who bowls and invites me to a game I play so i guess I only play if the opportunity presents itself..
..avg : 110-130

I don't know anything about the balls sorts, I nly know I use a ball that weighs 11 kilos (for some reason that's written on the balls ,how heavy they are)
my avg is also about 120, my best game ever was 180 or so, but that only happened once damnit XD

I used to bowl a whole lot back when I was in highschool, atleast 3 times a week, but that's slowed down since I hit college and I go maybe once a month. I can still get a 180 on a good night though.

I Love the game but I'm not the best and I'm not a frequent player. Too much money to always go bowl. Best game = 223. Worst game = 000 literally I was messing around but still you think i would have hit at least 1 pin. I use a 16 kilo ball (Usually the only ball that has wholes big enough for my fingers.

I've never bowled before until early of this year during a friend's birthday hang out, which we spent at the bowling alley. After my first time, i find bowling really enjoyable and never miss an opportunity to head to the bowling alley. But i'm still new and dont really know much about it. Still, it's a good game and sport and i like it.

^ and even more fun when you try out funny bowling techiques that will sure to get you disqualified in a real tournament. :p
I'm currently on a leauge and enjoying it. The only problem is these are all my mom's co-workers.... so its all adults quite a bit older then me XD But thats ok, doesnt bug me too much...
Except that I'm very tall and I like to dress nice and... Well I get mistaken for being 21 alot O-o so... And my mom is so much shorter then me and looks a little young to be my mom compared to how I look, so we've gotten mistaken as sisters (or worse, once it was lesbians o.o and I was just standing behind her as we checked into a hotel!)
Anyway xD Thats just part of my bowling experience... I have a crush on a guy that works there, but I'm afraid he thinks I'm older too if hes ever thought about it.. *sigh* He's probably a few years older then /me/ XD
I have up and down times when it comes to bowling. Sometimes I'll be up in the 120s+ and other times my games will go in the 60s and 70s >.< I hate the fluxuation

I used to bowl every week, and this thread actually reminded me that I was supposed to go to rock 'n bowl yesterday with some friends, damn, *waits 6 days*
I bowl only for the fun... and I like it ^^.
It's fun to bowl with friends with music in the background etc.
Though I'm not doing it often...
Tonight my scores were 107, 105, and 102 X_X I was half-asleep though.. Did make quite a few strikes even so o.o
^ w00t, nice score. Well done ^^.

I want to bowl! :( I don't have a single friend in NC that bowls, or will. LOL
I bowl and I like it. I assume that you are talking about ten pin bowling and not bowls.

I go bowling with my peeps about once every 1-2 months, but it is more of a social thing, like golf. We go to talk about stuff more than to play the game. Nothing against bowling or golf, but that's what we do. You could get a horrible score (I mean, my best is only a 152 or something like that) and as long as you lead the conversation, you win. Kinda weird, but I still enjoy the bowling ^_^.
Love bowling. I average 190's. My high is 235 (clean game). I used to go 3 times a week, but now I go every Friday :) High series is 596 (so close to 600 >.O).
Ball: Ebonite Tornado (a year of use, should replace it soon for a Paradigm)

Pretty cool.
I use a Storm Domination and mix it up sometimes with my old Fired Up. My average ranges from 170-180s, and my high is 263 somehow. lol I bowl every Friday night too in a league. my high series was a 608 the first week of a summer league. I think I broke 600 one other time after that. lol
I am not that good at bowling my top score is about 175.

Very nice. I'm hoping to get one of those 600's this Friday :D

Wow, you guys are fuxing good. Holy crap! Your scores are so high!
I'm not a great or regular bowler, but I enjoy bowling now and then with friends. It's not a sport/hobby that I take very seriously. I usually get around 100-150 points at the end of one game. I know, I'm terrible! But I don't play that often anyway. Oh well, atleast that's better than my friends... They're hopeless (in the nicest way possible). Hehe.

I only bowled once and learned that it is not good to bowl when you're supposed to play flute at the Christmas eve service next day ^^. A bowling ball fell on my hand and bruised a finger :-/. So I never did it again...
My friend got a 300 2 weeks ago. I felt pretty good about a couple 200's until I witnessed his 300.

It felt good, albeit it scary and nervous as hell, to bowl a 300.
