Hey guys new guy here all the way from Alaska.
Well what happened to me was that a boss of mine at work were asking me to bowl with them one night on Friday. At first, I was saying, "no, because I don't really bowl..." but after a couple weeks later, I found out she got a couple of my friends to go so I decided to go as well. I thought to myself, "Hey! Bowling's pretty fun.... and besides...none of my friends bowl too so it won't matter much if I sucked or not haha"
Well there we were on Friday morning thinking it was just going to be a "for fun, nothing serious, hanging out kind of way" then BAM! We get asked to join the league..it's a handicap league so we were like "ahh how bad could it be?? besides it's winter so..might as well get into some sports!"
Long story short, we ALL got hooked into bowling...I've been practicing as much as 5 times a week just to get better! Especially since I started out as the worst scorer of the team with an average of 92 about a month and a half ago... LOL....
And now I'm averaging around 135!
Also...I learned how to hook a ball about 3 weeks ago... slight curve nothing big... but since thursday, I learned how to change the way the ball rotates (the ball spins sideways instead of a more forward roll) to create a more arch reaction. I also bowled a 193, a 176, and a 171 the next day so I'm pumped!
And that's what led me here :)
