    Thanks ALL!!

    Well, I'm not quite at 7% yet. That would be a range (taking out the occasional outlier) of roughly 151-173. I'm at 150-183. But close. And I agree with what Janderson and mc_runner said. I throw a bit straighter and more traditional and have gotten better at picking up spares (since I leave so damn many I've had a lot of practice)...and I think both those might hinder hitting a real HIGH score...but keep you from falling through the floor.

    Interesting stuff.

    I also use an app on my iPhone called PinPal. Works very well and can give lots of stats etc.

    Here is a graph of my bowling this season, total of 99 games thus far in league play.
    Current total average 225 and has been right at that range since back in October

    High Sanctioned Scratch Game - 300(12) Hi Sanctioned Scratch Series - 822(3)
    2016/17 Book Average=221, 2017/18 Composite Average=223
    Equipment in the bag - Storm Crux Prime, Storm Physix, Roto Grip Idol, Roto Grip Idol Pearl, Roto Grip Hyper Cell Fused, Storm Sure Lock, Storm Drive, Roto Grip Winner Solid, Roto Grip Haywire, Storm Fever Pitch, Roto Grip Red ball spare.

    Rev Rate 400. Speed 18 at heads, 16.5-17 at pins. Axis tilt 10, Axis Rotation 55. PAP 5 5/8 x 5/8 up

    Cool. I need to get an app for my phone. I saw a lady using one where she was actually putting in what pins fell each frame. It was like a newer version of the old AMF screens above the pins. I wonder if it gave any cool stats about what pins you leave most often and spare shooting %. That would be cool if it did. I shoulda asked her.

    Absolutely. The app I use, I go frame by frame with pin leaves. Here is a sample, I have it set so I can either hit Strike at the bottom or have it show pin left., then whether spare was converted or not.




    You can then go through more stats on one page where it will show first ball %, Spare %'s etc.

    Spares is a bit confusing as the multiple Pin spares category also includes Splits, but there is also a separate Splits category just below that which is not shown. You can click each category and see each leave and what your conversion rate is on each one. I think the app is rather nifty.

    I found it on android, it's $8.99 which isn't bad considering some of the cool stuff you can do with it
