What is the most games you've bowled in one day?

[Aslan]

I think my record is either 20 or 22...but last night I bowled 18.

And...I must be getting old(er) because virtually every part of my body is sore and tired. The center I bowled at offers 2 hours for $14...I threw one frame shy of 13 games in 2 hours...then got another 2 games free because I bowl in a league there (to finish that series)...then bought 3 more games at the reduced practice rate because there were still some things I needed to finish working on.

When I was younger I used to routinely bowl 20-30 a night.I also used to bowl a yearly 20 game marathon tournament. Now days my limit is about 10

[TCJ]

My max is 24.

[e-tank]

did 4 games of practice. Then 2 hours of bowling for $5 then cosmic bowling for another 4 hours

never again

I've bowled 24 games in the morning and then went to my factory job. I used to bowl 12-15 games a few times a week. I've bowled more than 30 games in a day. But that was a LONG time ago.

Today my legs are killing me and that is just from 6 games Sunday morning and then league last night. I really need to get in better shape.

After 10 or so I start to fatigue and bowl worse and worse so I usually pack it up.

My coach would agree with you. After hearing that I bowled 16 games once...he said 8-10 is about the max...and you should take a break and come back the next day.

I have bowled 14. An 11 game tournament followed by my normal league night 2 hours later. This was spread over about 12 hours and still at the end I was tired. I look forward to doing this tournament again sometime but I will not bowl league after it.

I'm thinking of bowling another 6 games this evening…but man…I'm still sore and limping around from Monday. :confused:

There's a tournament here with a 12 game qualification round. Can't remember if I've bowled more than that in a day.

Not to brag, well OK I am bragging, but one time when I was way younger I was practicing and in games 9,10,11,12 I bowled 300,279,289,256. This was with a urethane Blue Hammer. I know; if it isn't sanctioned and can't be proved it didn't happen. I did save the print out but the last time I looked the ink was almost gone. The ink may have vanished now and those games only exist in my own memory. I left three 10 pins and an 8-10 split.

Anyway, I personally don't know if I buy the fatigue thing. I think it depends on the individual and actually bowling with SOME fatigue can be beneficial. Have you ever found that you bowl better when you are sick? My legs have been so tired after working ten hours on my feet that I have barely been able to get out of the car, yet 15 minutes with my feet up and four ibuprofen and I bowled just fine.

If you want to stop muscling the ball just bowl until you are too tired to muscle the ball. I'm not saying fatigue works for everyone but for some it does.

There's some truth to that. back when I was "muscling/throwing"…I'd hit that "point" where I'd be too tired and suddenly…my scores would go up.
