Sad. Makes me feel better about me, but worse about the sport.

Oh well, first night is tonight. Practice is ~7 hours and 12 minutes away. It cannot come soon enough! I am so excited to bowl this league.

P.S. can you spot the That's What She Said above?

Haha I will SO do that to someone who doesn't know how to play various lines some day. My heaviest oil balls, however, are my Rival and Black Widow. I don't know if that's enough to dry a line too much but it'd be funny to do.

I'm going to be joining a PBA League on May 20th. I really don't care that it's tougher, in fact I prefer it. I'm all about getting better and learning to play tighter lines is one way to go about it.

As for those really easy house shots, I really don't see any of those in this area. At least, not in a way where everyone can average 200. In my opinion, averaging 200+ means you're doing something right at the houses around here. Some are easier than others of course. For example, the house that has synthetic lanes 10 minutes away from my local house is considered easy. This may be true because my local house has a different surface(not sure), but to me I wouldn't bowl dramatically better in one house compared to another unless one house is just plain hard.

I'm not incredibly accurate but I get by. I carry 201 and 209 averages in the same house. The 201 average is a second shift league where we get stuck with the carry down and it's a little drier, not much. The 209 is a fresh oil league so I do better obviously. To me these averages mean something because I'm bowling better than the people that I should be. The high average in the second shift league is 207 and the next is 203, putting me in 3rd for high average.

In the fresh oil league the high youth bowler is somewhere around 228 but I'm not sure where I stand in that one. I think I have 3rd or 4th high average in that one depending on how the same people beating me in second shift league are doing here. They're no higher than 215 though so I'm in good shape in my opinion.

Anyways what I'm getting at is I don't think there's super easy shots around here and averaging 200-210 is not something to frown upon.

Uhh..would that be,..it cannot come soon enough! LOL

had another good thursday night. my son shot a 573 3 game series!!! he has about a 130 average, he was on fire! i soo wanted to see him hit 600, but none the less, he did great.

myself, i started out great with a 225, then promptly fell apart, but had a lot of fun, and we took 3 of 4 points.
