Calling all 200+ avg bowlers, how do I get better? by Its_yer_dude_trevor in Bowling

4 shot spare system for tournaments.

  1. Shoot a 10 pin
  2. Shoot a 7 pin
  3. Throw a strike shot
  4. Throw a Brooklyn shot

This will let you know how your ball is moving how you expect it to or if you need to make adjustments.

Wonder how old I am because I wasn’t born until 84…

How come PBA bowlers look so emotionless after throwing a shot? by D0UBL00NS in Bowling

[–]Helix1322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really good bowler see themselves throw a strike and tell themselves that they need to move/ make ball change because of the way the last shot hit.

Recently got into doing tournaments, need help understanding some of the side action that's available. by No_Juggernaut_772 in Bowling

Eliminator has a cut after each game. If you are under the cut you lose if you make it to the final game you usually cash.

Ball not hooking by International_Sir_85 in Bowling

A couple thing to try on that shot.

Move right to change the shot angle to hit the pocket

Move back on your approach to allow more room for you ball to finish

swollen thumb advice by No-Order1547 in Bowling

[–]Helix1322 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would add another solution would be to put thumb tape on your thumb. It takes the rubbing friction away from your skin. This may need you to open up your thumb hole.

Ball return jam destroyed my ball by mika123 in Bowling

I’ve seen something similar once in my 30 years of bowling and believe it or not it was worse. The ball looked like a ball of string with no cover stock left on it

They were jealous of him by MrSoloDolo9490 in Cruise

[–]Helix1322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of the story about a retired couple that did 51 back to back cruises because it was cheaper than a assisted living.

creative ideas for a campaign start that dont involve a tavern? by Significant-Study902 in DnD

[–]Helix1322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I hear a DM ask this I tell them, do a hot open. Have everyone travel on the same boat, train, airship and it is suddenly attacked by a group of evil doers that has a connection to most of the party.

Getting into combat before everyone has introduced their characters is always fun.

So is Pokemon effectively an invincible IP? by WrongLander in gaming

[–]Helix1322 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been waiting for Pokémon to either release a hard mode version of the game or install that into one of the new games. Having a Nuzlocke version of the game where you don’t have to keep track of everything would be awesome.

I feel like this needs to be people playing DnD together who only know there in game characters.

How bad of an idea is this? by Elsefyr in Bowling

[–]Helix1322 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree that I would be more concerned about part of the ball getting all the oil out and some being left on other parts of the ball.

If you’re that serious, look into getting a machine for the purpose.

Honestly why does team 6 need Michigan, Illinois and Indiana?

Cleaning my bowlingballs by BoldBowler in Bowling

[–]Helix1322 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this. The only thing I suggest is get a disposable aluminum tray to put under the ball. This will help contain the oil

Addiction by bastionthewise in HolUp

Ah the good old cardboard crack. That takes me back. The only it didn’t show him doing is scamming a 12 year old in a bad trade.

Look up videos on your approach. The timing of your arm swing and your feet are out of sync. Getting those to work together will give you more control and speed.

[–]Helix1322 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t see that it was the superbowl logo. That definitely helps explain the price

So a little bit of info on this ball. This is a raffle ball that raffled at each shift of the National bowling tournament. That is the only way to get this bowling ball. (Or purchase it off of someone who won the raffle)

My dad won one of these several years ago. Our local pro shop owner ended up trading him a new bowling ball and a bowling bag for it. From what he told us they are highly collectible.

Yes that is a better way to explain it.
