inmate Bowlers?

I bowl on a Thursday night league - and sub on a Tuesday night team when needed.

Haven't bowled in over ten years - started last summer again as part of my rehab deal. Not doing to bad - not great either. High game so far is a 276. Most nights I have a good 1st and 2nd game but am worn out by the time the third game gets around. Also just can't seem to get past 7 strikes in a row - pissing me off. Most nights will have two games in the 195 to 240 range - and then throw a freaking 160 or some damn thing. Sucks on the average.

I'm rolling an Ebonite NV Complete and the NVD. I also have the Rapid Fire and Gravity Shift by Storm.

Dayam!

I hate to see what your like when your at 100%.

I am a tweener with medium rev's and throw at about 14 mph. I'd gues you to be a cranker.

I bowl regularly on Thursday nights and every other week in a Saturday couples league with RevSmoke and Pauline. A great excuse to break out a cigar in a warmer climate once or twice a week.
I average 200-210 with the occasional flash, but usually nothing spectacular or terrible. Games in the 190's to 230's usually. Had a couple 700's this year, a couple of 299's in past years.
I throw a 10 year old Bully for the most part. I get a lot of looks from the guys who are throwing new equipment it seems every other week, but I can usually hold my own against them with that old rock. More of a down and in type thrower, but I can still crank it up if need be.
I purchased a used Columbia Action Packed off Ebay for about $11 plugged, but need to see some more oil for that one. Perhaps it'll make the trip to Vegas in March for the USBC Nationals (24 years participation and counting).
You may think, Nationals, this guy must really be special. Nope, they'll take anyone's entry fee and humble you in the process. I believe in the close to 200 games I've thrown there, I've had a high of 277, but a whole lot more 160's. Probably a total of 10 600's, if that, but close to 100 400's. I think I'm averaging about 175 there in all my years. Humbling to say the least, but it's a great excuse to get out and about in the dead of winter.
Roll on.
