Never cam across one yet. I figure I'll wait until a THS shot becomes "too easy" before making that leap.
PBA experience league
anyone partaking in one? so far our league has just finished it's 3rd week just finished scorpion next is shark. so far i have not shot lights out my high game last week on cheeta was 238, on scorpion 208 but i have an 8/12 win/loss record. thats not saying much considering i was beat by a 10 year old by 2 pins... lol anyone else want to share their experiences on one yet?

lol i hear ya there! i have only ever bowled on a THS then took a 2 year break from bowling, this is the first league i've bowled in since i left it was a bit daunting but i have been practicing for this since jan/febOriginally Posted by Aslan
So rather than wait and get good at bowling, I decided to join a PBA experience league after only bowling for 8 months and one THS league....There is supposed to be some kind of team handicap thing going on, but I'm not sure I understand it and it doesn't show up on our scores. Its a doubles league, and fortunately my partner is pretty laid back and doesn't mind the fact that I'm likely doing to drag him down all season long (of course its a short summer season anyway).
This past week, and the next 3 weeks, we bowled on the longest oil pattern I've ever experienced, the badger. I don't have anything nearly aggressive enough to pretend to hook on it, so I pretty much was throwing straight at the pocket with mixed results. Regardless I'm having fun, and hopefully will become a better bowler because of it, we shall see.
I signed up for one that was supposed to started on Tuesday, June 3rd but earlier in the day, I received a call from the guy running the league informing me the league would not be floored due to insufficient interest.
A friend found another location that had one that started Monday, June 2nd, and had enough interest to continue.
So this Monday I'll have a chance to see what this PBA experience thing is like.
i believe you will become a better bowler out of it, it will teach you to adapt to the always changing lanes. when you go back to a THS you'll surprise yourself
that stinks about the lack of interest, we fill 20 lanes so i suppose thats a good turn out, it's my first one so i don't know how to compare to previous ones lol. from what everyone says its way more people than last year so the payout should be almost a grand for 1st place, i'm in 8th right now
No. He'll just come back complaining it was oiled in a "reverse block".
I'm curious, 20 lanes, how many people per lane/team? How much do you pay each week? and how many weeks? and finally how many games per week?
$1000 seems a little high considering this Monday league supposedly is 12 weeks at $12 per week. I'd be surprised if that covers any more than lineage.
I'm also bowling in a THS senior afternoon league because the clock is ticking on that 11 in a row award. Gotta get one before it disappears Aug 1st.
