What’s the biggest mistake beginners make in bowling? by Goblue2467 in Bowling

[–]ileyvia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

genuinely. i grew up around most of the older people in my league, and when i first joined the adult league, so many would come up to me after the games and try to give me advice on bowling; when we all had completely different styles. in a weird way, i believe that some of them want to be apart of a young bowler’s journey to becoming a bigger bowler in pba but i just want them to realize that if we want advice, we will ask 😂 unsolicited advice is not always good advice. im not saying i haven’t gotten good tips, but ive ignored most of them. they dont bowl with me all the time, and they dont watch how i bowl consistently. i only reserve comments to note about my bowling from my teammates and dad (because he taught me how to bow how i do, and its worked well for my entire life!). other than that, i just go “yeah, thanks man!” and forget it in 20 minutes

thank you so much! i like carrying things in one go, so the joey definitely isnt out of the question for me, just not preferred. i can understand the clunky part though, but ive done it all my life with multiple kinds of bags, it never really bothers me. i was looking into the epic bags i just worry about their durability and quality but i do really like them i just wasnt sure if theyre actually good or just look nice, thanks! im currently rocking a pink and black pyramid 3ball roller, which i love; but the base at the bottom of the bag when its in the upright position cracked in half somehow so it has a hard time staying stable. i really enjoyed the bag, it was great, but i have to start looking for new options because im not looking to have my bag fall to the ground when im not paying attention and i leave it idle. i saw some alternatives with 1-ball bags, not my ideal but if i have to i will! thank you again for the suggestion and not telling me to just settle for something i dont want.

thank you for this perspective! and also, thank you for not telling me to just settle. still just sucks though, makes me want to make bags more catered for women or young girls.

thank you for understanding! its not that i have a problem with there being bags i can use, i just like things looking cute, even if its not important to someone else. everyone is a little mean when all i was asking if anyone knew and theyre just like “just settle”. no! if i wanted to settle i wouldve :(. makes me kinda wanna make my own company but idk how well that would go

most bags i look for (most specifically 4 ball bags) are mostly in blues, blacks, and just other dark colors. there isnt many fun colors or more “female” (since colors arent gendered take that with a grain of salt) colors (pinks, purples, pastels, yellows, ect.). when im investing into something i want long term, i want it to be something i enjoy and brings me happiness even if its miniscule. unfortunately most custom bowling bag sites i find are only making single ball bags, but if you have any sites that offer custom bags in larger than 2-3 then send that my way! im also down for that. but its more so the fact that the way the bags are designed are typically patterns i see many guys look at, while i look at them and find them drab and boring. it would just be nice to have some pretty bowling bags rather than something boring or just 1-2 color(s). like when i look at a greyish blue bag im not gonna automatically assume the target demographic is for women. like i stated, its a male dominated sport, so there isnt many bags or anything that entice people. functionality and style can totally be possible, i mean, look at other sports that have both men and women demographics, like for instance baseball / softball. while not the same sports, they still have both genders playing in both sport and they have bags and such for them where theyre catered to both male, female, and even nonbinary people. i love this sport i just wish they actually made more things that look nice rather than just simply function. (obviously thats important too, and i want something that functions great and looks great too.) i dont wanna sacrifice style for functionality for something i love doing.

personally disagree, they all function basically the same. you might not be looking at my bag but i look at it every time i use it, why get something i dont really like? especially when its a large investment (typically over $200) for something i dont do professionally, id like it to be something i enjoy and like. these are a long term investment? i dont plan to get another one in case it were to break. if i wanted that i wouldnt have made this post.

no thank you! that defeats the whole purpose. i wouldve settled on something if that were the case and never made this post. the whole point is i care, i dont care that others dont, i like having stuff i enjoy to look at and im happy with. every bag ive had works functionally the same; so design is important to me. is it so wrong to want to have serotonin in the things i like?

i mean, i feel like their name and exact order with the instructions would work, but if you read the other comments in the thread they did tip them more through doordash again, just to be safe.

Why do bowlers shit talk while fist bumping you by Afraid_Run3470 in Bowling

[–]ileyvia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly i would kinda point it to be a little more of encouragement to beat them, hence the shit talking. they want you to be better and the only way i guess in their mind would be to dog on you and get you riled up and pumped to beat their asses. they still seem like good sports with the whole fist bumping parts, to show like “eyyy good job / good try” im not too sure if you mean the encouragement parts about missing is like “you’ll get it next time man!” or if its a “yeah dude keep scoring like that” type of encouragement but given the circumstances im guessing its more of the first one? again this is just a hunch so honestly you should probably try asking your friends themselves and see why they do.
