Thread: Bowling until your arm dies

  1. #1

    Default Bowling until your arm dies

    I've managed it. I bowled last Sunday a few games, Tuesday I bowled six games, Wednesday I bowled three, Thursday I bowled seven, Friday I bowled seven, Saturday I bowled four, yesterday I bowled ten. I'm so unused to that much bowling that I literally cannot hold my ball in the proper position anymore. My wrist can't handle it.

    On the bright side, I did manage a 243, a 210, and a 189 yesterday while bowling on the Scorpion pattern. Had some much worse games when I was bowling rapid fire. I think it's time for a break. No bowling today or Tuesday. Need my arm to feel fresh on Wednesday.

    Normally, I'd never bowl so much, but Thursday was lessons, Friday I got to bowl on the USBC Masters lanes when the pros finished, Saturday I bowled for dirt cheap and last night I bowled for $2 a game on a sports shot. My arm is begging for mercy.

    I have shamelessly bowled 30 full games in one 3-4 hour session. I didn't blister or anything this time, but I was sore afterward. Other times, I've bowled 20+ games in one session. I don't recommend it. Bowling a few games a night consistently throughout the week is probably a lot better than one lump sum.

    I can bowl 20-30 games in a week and feel no ill effects.

    I don't know if it's because I bowl two handed, or if it is because I'm still young, lol.

    It has to due with the breaks in between. 10 games every other day is different than 10 games every day for 3 days straight

    When I bowl that much it goes, 5-6 on Monday, 6-10 on Thursday, maybe 3-4 on friday, 3 on Saturday and usually 8-9 on Sunday.

    I don't bowl that much very often though. I probably bowl only 15-20 games a week on average.
