Not sure what the highest average for a season ever has been, I've see one above 250, but I wouldn't doubt it's much higher now. Anything above 240 is unfathomable !!
Any takers on what the record is ? And I'm meaning a full season.

This is from Mike Scroggins wiki page so take it for what it is worth.Originally Posted by Tampabaybob
He also currently holds the second-highest league average ever recorded in USBC history—256.8 in a 1999-2000 Amarillo, TX trio league. It was the highest league average until Jeff Carter established a new record the following season with a 261.7 average.

Holy high averages is right !! Can't imaging needing 750 plus each night just to maintain my average. Sure don't want to run into those guys in a tournament.

Everytime I watch Pete Weber bowl it looks like he is just turning his hand and that's it, no lift at all.
Yeah, Pete has one of the smoothest releases in the game. It looks as though he's doing nothing to the ball, but man, what a reaction he gets. He uses a "swoosh" type of release. (reads NIKE swoosh) Never used to enjoy watching him, because of his on-lane antics, but in the last few years, he's gained a lot of respect. I guess having shot against his Dad, Dick Weber, in a PBA tournament years ago, makes me feel like he would never measure up. But he has, and for that I'm happy for him.

You guys have said this before, but this slowinski video makes me want to evaluate my current release. I never pay attention to my index finger like he says.

Maybe you don't, but look at the last few seconds of that video and notice where his indue finger is and in what direction it's pointing !

He's over rotating. But I think he is teaching new people. Your not suppose to rotate past 12 O clock, which I still am doing after reading about how brain voss and norm duke rotate past 12. Currently I am rotating my hand to a 45 degree angle tilt which is between 10 and 11 o clock.
I can't wait to get to the lanes this weekend, I am gonna get my ball out of my bag now and try that.
