The wife and I showed up the first week and had a team with just us and 2 vacants. No problem, we will take the 210 (handicap is 90% of 220) and try to find another couple of people. Except they changed the rules and a vacant gets 170. It was the 2nd week when the computer scores with handicap was up and running before I noticed and said something. The team we bowled was 86 pins under average and we still had to bowl over average to win. So I told them this was too unfair and we are now taking the year off. Kind of sucks. I wasn't a great bowler, 175 to low 180s the last couple of years, but it was fun and got me out of the house.

Nice bowling.Originally posted by baldgriff View Post
It looks like you use 3 balls not counting a spare ball. How do you go about setting those up?
I use one ball aggressive ball and move when the lanes break down. I notice that I struggle with leaving corner pins on the adjustment. If I wanted to buy a transition ball how do I figure out which one and how to drill it? Obviously it would less aggressive but how much. I can't afford to make a mistake on selecting a new ball for transition. I will have to live with my decision.
Any thoughts or tips are appreciated.Comment

Not a bad night stayed around my avg _ Mid 160's all 3 games. Was horrible in the middle of game 1 picking up spares. Game 2 - five - 7 pins left on first ball. Game 3 my Hip started bothering me so I struggle but ended up with a 163 anyway.Originally posted by hacko View Post
But I am liking my new Ball - if I do everything right and hit my mark My Strike rate is a higher hen in the past,
On a good note the team won 2 out of 3 and the total against the first place team!!!!Comment

I am currently using a Storm Snap Lock 15lbs drilled as aggressive as possible.Originally posted by baldgriff View Post
I usually start at the middle and throw it out to about 5 board and let it snap back. I do not know my mph, but I consider myself a tweener when it comes to speed. I found I was leaving too many 10 pins so I moved to the right 6 boards with my feet. I also moved my target from 5 to 7 and started going more down and in. I am leaving less 10 pins and carrying a few more strikes.
Somewhere about the third game the ball starts overreacting and I am forced to throw harder which makes me pull it or I move my feet to the left 3-5 boards. I don't like this as I am back to not carrying strikes as well as leaving 10 pins.
I think I would like a less aggressive ball that would just allow me to stay put when the lanes start to burn up.Comment

My league is 100% handicap so it doesn't matter what the averages are.Originally posted by dslaw View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

Picking up spares is so important. Especially if a bowler is having trouble striking. I know everyone knows this, but it needs saidOriginally posted by hacko View Post

Is there a Pro Shop of some sort at your lanes? The guy where i bowl has a small shop, but he knows his stuff.Originally posted by Gregg View Post
I hear you about the anger, but i don't get angry i get more bummed out than angry.! Monday after the first game I was thinking, "I'm tired, this isn't fun, etc.. Made my move started stringing strikes and man it was fun again!!"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment
