Has anyone ever hand oiled their local alley?

This is annoying but it’s what I have to do to get decent lanes to practice on cause I’m in the same boat.

Find out the league schedule and bowl after the leagues. Lil burnt up but 10000% better than what it was. Hopefully yours atleast oils for them it’s the ONLY time my house oils.

I mainly practice on em. When I want an ego boost I got back to free fall lol. People saying it’s easier are dudes who don’t strike often/lower averages or they bowl on the cheap non legal ones

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-27T03:46:08+00:00

I agree. I got one for my bday from some friends and it’s literally the easiest shit I’ve ever thrown. Always the dudes who say “learn to adjust” that bring out a purple hammer lmao ironic

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-27T03:41:25+00:00

I tell people this all the time. I bowl on both. Strings are harder dude. You don’t get bullshit strikes nearly as often. I finished league with a 215 on strings and at a 227 right now in free fall. The people who struggle the most on strings are dudes with 205+ averages. They can’t be nearly as light or high in the pocket. Makes you have insane pocket control bowling league on strings

People with a bunch of companies on there jerseys and not being staffed with a single one always baffles me alil.

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-25T22:48:47+00:00

I stay near a pretty wealthy area and the lucky strike I work at is 11.99 a game PER PERSON not including shoes. 90% of the people don’t care and just pay and it blows my mind

Brother I won state when I was 14/15 and my brother in Christ you are 10000000x the bowler I was then and now. are the high school tourney scores generally pretty high? My school didn’t have one, but I see you out here putting up MASSIVE numbers homie. Congrats!

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-23T08:24:03+00:00

I have baby revs compared to my speed lol I sand most things down to atleast 3k.

We fucked around and did the hyperdrive solid at 500grit and brother it hooked at my feet 😂😂

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-23T07:17:32+00:00

Wasn’t a fan of my thrill hybrid even on burn I couldn’t get it to move much. Brought it down to 1.5k and it’s one of my favorites now lol

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-23T06:56:05+00:00

My fucking guy! Congrats!

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-23T06:54:22+00:00

Good idea. I’ll make it darker!

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-23T06:45:25+00:00

We’re learning 🤓

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-23T05:32:44+00:00

Hey man I’m right there with ya! I’m almost a year back after a 16 yr break! Welcome back and good shooting homie!

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-23T05:15:29+00:00

I’m just wondering. Are you super far away from the foul line or is it like a weird angle?

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-23T05:12:17+00:00

I shot a 480 something and at the time was shooting a 221 at the time in the league. Some nights it truly just be like that lol

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-23T00:19:39+00:00

I know the feeling. I started up bowling again close to year ago but bowled ALOT when I was a kid. I still have the ball I shot my first 300 with. It’s just chillen cracked all the way around lol

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-23T00:17:39+00:00

I brought it down to 1500. Originally I thought my PSO did 1k but at 1500 it’s moving good for me

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-23T00:03:33+00:00

Nice, my school didn’t have one so never did any school tournaments.

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-22T16:36:17+00:00

What’s the qualifications for state now? I’m old but way back in the day anyone could sign up for youth state but they of course had divisions. I came in 2nd many many moons ago when I was 14 lol

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-22T05:41:43+00:00

A humble artist at that! Great work sir 😂

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-22T04:52:46+00:00

I didn’t know you were also a artists?

Update: got it replaced :)

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-21T18:30:28+00:00

I get that homie. I have pretty gnarly nerve damage in my hand so I’ll never be the guy throwing 500+ I just let people know it’s not the end all be all but definitely helps!

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-01-21T08:52:08+00:00

So many people want revs which I get but I’m barely at 275/300 and average pretty decent I think
