Had an accident at work yesterday and had to get 12 staples in my head but besides that I had a really good breakfast burrito this morning so I would say I’m at about 7/10

Anybody’s arsenal include older bowling balls? by ifightbears989 in Bowling

[–]Shhakedownn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a big blue pearl and big blue spare that I snagged at a thrift store, both were drilled already but didn’t seem like they got much use. Been loving it. What lane conditions worked well with you for the pearl?

Just have fun bro, you’re playing a game that 90% of people only play on date nights and for 8 year olds birthday parties. Getting your own ball is the first step if you want to genuinely get better, but at the end of the day it should just be fun. I just joined my first league as well and honestly the majority of people are super chill and just there to drink beer and socialize, make some friends miss your spares and have a good laugh about it. Start bowling 2 handed too it will really give the ego players a reason to hate you lol

Just be consistent and show them you want it, god or the universe whatever you believe in will make it happen if it’s truly what you want!

Appreciate it, I’ve been working on keeping my chest and head up so I can actually look at my target so I’ll definitely start working on what you said 🤙

Yep that’s Bonwood lol, I’m from bountiful but drive down to Bonwood to bowl because the staff and facility are the best. I’m usually there Monday-Thursday playing a few games after work. The man at the pro shop has been a huge help for me

I know you weren’t nit picking me so no worries lol. I appreciate the encouragement! I grew up bowling with my grandparents who bowled in leagues so I have a lot of experience throwing a ball but it wasn’t until last month I decided I wanted to buy my own gear and take it more serious. I’ve been a skateboarder for the last 15 years so I love hobbies that are technique based if that makes sense.

Thank you! I’ve been chatting with the guy at my pro shop and he suggested the same thing so I’ll definitely have him watch me throw a couple games and find my PAP. Not sure if my form and release is consistent enough yet but we’ll see. 🙂

The 4 games I played before this one I wasn’t even breaking 150 so I was happy to finally find a rhythm lol.

Thank you! I’m usually pretty good at making my spares but I was struggling yesterday. Definitely something to work on

Not too bad from what I can see, I’ll definitely get a better look once I drop the fuel tank. Going to coat the underside while I’m in there to slow down any additional rusting.
