Hello. My name is Krista. My dad said I should register as there are very few females. Anyway, I'm a Stroker that is averaging 210 with low ball speed. Obviously I'm rev dominant so I have to be careful of my axis rotation. I'm going to be 23 soon. I bowled in high school and was captain of the team my senior year. I then took the four years between school and the end of last season off. In school I used a Scout urethane, Total NV and The One. This past February my dad bought me a DV8 Reckless. I subbed in a league the first time using it and rolled a 835 series so now I'm in love with DV8. So I'm here to learn, share what I know and maybe recruit other females to join. Have a great night!

Welcome to the boards!

so, got any secrets about dear old dad to share?

Good ones or bad? He is the most versatile bowler I know but doesn't follow his own advice enough. He knows that though and it really bugs him. If he didn't push me so hard when I want to quit bowling my sophomore year, I wouldn't be enjoying the sport again now. He is the hardest working person I know. Whether it's work or bowling, he always puts in 100%. I asked once when I was a little kid why he studied manuals and stuff all the time. He said other people were faster, smarter and better so he had to make sure he worked harder. He always puts others first. My team bowled his two weeks ago for first place. I was struggling. As soon as I said something he told me what to do. I saved that first game with a 191 then shot a 246 and 279. I would have been lucky to break 400 if he wasn't paying attention. It cost them first place, at least for now.
He is writing a book. Ummm, his military medals are in a box hidden in the basement (now he knows I know about it). He has a quick temper but only with adults. He always says kids have a reason to be stupid, they don't know any better, adults should know better. For Halloween 2009 he dressed as a Hooters girl and 2010 as John Holmes (don't ask). His sense of humor is very, very warped. Oh, and he always seems to find my friends attractive. I guess that makes him a dirty old man lol

If you want to play this game: GWOC (greater western Ohio conference) regional finals coming off a 6 bagger to start the tenth, the youngster lost her ball on the back swing. Embarrassed she composed herself to strike out for a 290. The dent may still be on the approach at those lanes. Road trip?

And who showed up to that match with a mohawk dyed with the school colors? I was so embarrassed yet all my friends thought it was cool. How weird...that's my dad.
