officaly suck at bowling .... not any more i am back!

I just had to brag on myself. after struggling several weeks ago, I have finally made my way back into a good average. I bowled a 193 two games prior to this 183. this is kinda important to me as I believe it is the most strikes I have ever gotten in one game. I have scored higher but I also picked up many more spares. wish I would have picked up my spare on this game!

Good game, definately would work on the spares though like you said, those open frames really killed it

I spent most of this summer messing around with spares. The wife and I go couple bowling with friends. Instead of showing off and throwing strikes, I was shooting at 10's and 7's with a full rack and then if the other people left weird spares I would take the shot for them. It's amazing what kind of garbage "non bowlers" can leave.

You would be surprised and how much that has helped my spare game. I have been shooting fairly clean this season so far.

so in your opinion would you recommend using a house ball to pick up spares? i use to do this but quit

If you can find a house ball of equal weight (approximate) and that fits well then try it for a few games. however any ball can be used to throw a straight ball, the only real difference is with a house ball wont hook a fraction the amount if you put rotation on the ball.

if you cant find a decent house ball, take your ball, spread your pinky and index fingers a bit farther and roll the ball directly at your target without rotating your wrist.
