Bowling

[StanSP]

This is one sport I haven't done.

 

It always looks good on the TV, on the odd occasion it was shown.

 

I've genuinely never seen it on TV.

 

You do know it's not Bowls right ?

Not something I do a lot but I tend to be really good at it for some reason, it's good fun. Great for Tinder dates as well because the lines don't have to stop on the app. After giving said Tinder date a thrashing at bowling, turn round, put your shades on and say 'that's not the only thing I'll be dominating tonight'.

Haven't been bowling for ages, shame really as I quite enjoy it.

Often on sky sports 4 in the middle of the day. Fat blokes in xxxxl shirts.

They make it look so easy

I do love a bit of bowling, but it's a ****in ripoff in this country. Only student prices make any sense, but the bars are well overpriced. I used to proper kill it but would pay for it with a ****ed wrist/forearm the next day or two. I think I'd have to really either smashed or hungover to bowl under 140, and I'd regularly mark 180+

Usually about 80/90 and get done over by the kids. Though last time I went I think I got about 110, the Mrs was having a mare and my 4 year old daughter went and fetched the chute thingy for her.

Used to work at the Superbowl in the mid 90's, long since gone due to the Highcross extension. Highest score was about 240, have been bowling once since leaving and barely hit a ton.

Went bowling with my uni mates last week. My Scores went from 80 to 140 to 85.

Actually ending up having a massive arguemtn on the correct way to hold the ball. Apparently its thumb, middle and ring finger as oppose to my technique middle, thumb and index. Didnt even know there was another way you could do it!!! well embarrassing

Please tell me I'm not the only one who bowls like this??

I think girls do mate but that's ok we don't judge

I started off doing it your way, then was told it can be better to do thumb, middle & ring finger. Got used to that and felt it was better.

Alright mate calm down no need to be a perv.

[foxfanazer]

Usually between 100-125

Got over 160 once but not down to skill

[Mickey O'Neil]

Highest game was 266. Highest series was 672. My handicap dropped to 11 once although I used to hover around the mid 20's. I managed to get into the Leicestershire team once.

I went with work before Christmas and started off with a cool 36 (which I note isn't even on your poll) before bouncing back with about 120.

At one point in the first frame I knocked down 1 pin (total) in 7 attempts.

 

Happens to me every time. Start terribly then pick up slightly.

 

I'm always worse on an odd numbered lane too.
