    The downside to being "anchor" is most of the time your final frame doesnt matter so you have to bowl while everyone is collecting their equipment and changing their shoes.

    But it was a mediocre movie.

    I prefer being the anchor because I love the pressure. I also don't mind being first this way I can set the pace and try to put pressure on the other team early.

    Normally I bowl second to last but this year I have been bowling anchor as my team mates all avg under 130ish.

    I don't mind either way.

    I love being anchor! The pressure is amazing. I love it!!! I can bowling like **** one game or all games on a bad night but when I'm needed in the 9 and 10th I can deliver. It weird how that works but I like it. Been the anchor in most of the teams I've bowled on. I'm subbing for one team right now that I'm not the anchor. But other its either me or my best friend.

    Well, I was going to be anchor this season...but the other good guy on the team talked about how much he loved being anchor so I gave it to him. And it was the right move given he outbowled me in Week 1. So I'm bowling right before him instead. Moved from 3rd last season to 4th (5-man teams) this season.

    I used to bowl anchor for my teams. Then I took a break from bowling for a few years, and I subbed randomly when people needed, but by the time I came back full time I wasn't needed as anchor anymore. Now I lead off for my team, and I love it. It's nice to get the night started with a strike. Also, I believe it's the hardest position to get beer framed in =)

    On all the leagues and different teams that I have been on for around 45 years, I have been the anchor bowler. It must be the pressure factor that keeps me there or my consistency. If I didn't anchor, I would bowl lead off.
