lol. Thanks. So I'm not one to sandbag or try to game the system but being right on the fence the way I think I'll be I'd rather keep it at 203. I'm...

Wednesday Night Established Men's League Week 25 Bowled a solid team...they are currently in 4th place. They have a 170s, 180s, 190, 200s, and...

The USBC (United States Bowling Congress) 10-pin rule is designed to ensure fair competition in leagues and tournaments. Here's a brief overview: ...

I did this when I was in Anaheim. I lived right next to a bowling alley and would bowl there 3-4 times a week. So, I kept track of my starting line...

Nice! Another strong, consistent night on a challenging pattern!

I am not sure which rule you’re asking about. The USBC Rules department is very good about responding to questions so your next step should be to...

Nice bowling the last 2.1 games. I believe it is a good practice to keep track of how different lanes play in centers where you bowl a lot. For...

Well I had this horrible flu over the weekend. The worst I have ever felt. Tonight my son had a work thing so he couldn't be there. Ended up my...

Buddies Winter Challenge League, 3/3/25 Week 26 Pattern:Junior Gold Qualifying 3 (U12BG U15BG) 43' Scores:210, 182, 198, 590 series This...

I'm trying a similar approach....primarily for corner pins. Rather than aim at a spot at the arrows that I can likely hit...but if I'm off by just a...

Sunday Night Established Mixed League Week 27 Still in 9th and bowling against the 8th place team. A few bowlers in the 145-155 range and one...

There's another way I deviate. I aim at nothing for a 10 pin. Pretty much stand at 40, look at the line, and fire. I've made 123 of 143 left this...

I've debated whether its better to bowl the arrows or the break point. There's advantages/disadvantages to each. Essentially, the arrows are...

Been bowling 50 years now. As I've said, I bring 3 with me, one is a spare, and rarely does the other leave the bag. If my shot doesn't look right, I...

Wednesday Night Established Men's League Week 25 Bowled against a team of "old-timers". They have a team average of 915 (198, 193, 167, 167,...

So the team bowled last night. Every one of us bowled above our average and still lost 2 of 3. I'm pretty sure the team we bowled will have the...

Fall was all PBA patterns. The last couple of years the league manager has used mostly Junior Gold patterns in the second half to give the juniors...

Knowledge is my only advantage. I've only been bowling (outside of an occasional trip to bowling alley to roll a 90 with a house ball) for a little...

Nice job! Are you guys ever moving on from the Junior patterns? Maybe some USBC Masters patterns or PBA animal patterns?

Buddies Winter Challenge League, 2/24/25 Week 25 Pattern:Junior Gold Qualifying 3 (U12BG U15BG) 43' Scores:211, 184,159, 554 series Lost the...

Monday's scores-- 192/224/226 = 642. Same ball, same line, better results. Only left 3 10-pins this week (all made). Its was the 4 opens (whiffed...

Dude, if I put as much thought into this as you, my head would explode. I'm a "grip and rip" (as much as I can even do that anymore) kind of guy. I...

Opens kill. Nice comeback in 2 & 3, though.

Sunday Night Established Mixed League Week 26 We're in 9th (out of 16 teams) and are bowling the 2nd place team. This team moved into 2nd place...

Nice job. Good and consistent.

Believe me....I totally understand the frustration. However; 1) Bowling is governed by the laws of physics. So, the exact same ball hitting the...

A great example of why the average person doesn’t understand how bowling is scored. If you were to tell someone ‘I had 8 strikes and only one open in...

Well had to pre-bowl today. Wasn't planned but me and my step-son will both be away Tuesday so he said he would pre-bowl. He went down today but they...

Entry angle isn't the issue at this house. I've literally kept the same angle, banged out 4-6 strikes, and bam, a ten pin. 10 pins are an issue for...
