    Default Lowest number of posts when you won a ball here.......

    I have been here a while and never won a ball. I think there is a guy here that won a ball with only something like 150 posts. Is there anyone else here that won a ball with a low number of posts? I wonder who has the highest number of posts without winning a ball. I like the two bowling balls I have now so it aint a big deal. I never win anything anyway so I don't want to break that trend.
    Arsenal: Raw Hammer Orange/Black Hybrid 14lbs, Blue Hammer urethane 14lbs, Columbia 300 Lava Ball Plastic 14lbs, Highest scratch series 710 Bowling 38 years Never hit that 300 game. Highest game 276, had 11 strikes and one spare in the middle of that game.

    Well you might be thinking of me. This is like post number 210 and last month I win the Storm IQ Nano. But if it helps, they haven't sent it out to me yet! Bummed about it.

    I was on here for 5 years before I won a ball. (Technically I've been on here longer, I was on the Original site this used to be called Bowlingballs and More.)

    The lowest number of posts to win a ball was 2 (A guy made one post, then the next week he made one 2 word post and that post won. And he never made another post since.)

    Right handed Stroker, high track ,about 13 degree axis tilt. PAP is located 5 9/16” over 1 3/4” up.Speed ave. about 14 mph at the pins. Medium rev’s.High Game 300, High series 798

    That's sad :/ it's good to just talk bowling on here win or not! I just like giving my options on things. I do miss some of the ones that posted for a short time like bunny and all the new bowler that stuck around for about a leagues worth of time then stopped posting. I always think what happend did they give up bowling? How are they? Its kinda sad really.

    Yes I had a super low post count for the first ball that I won
    I only had 14 posts back when I first joined up back in 2011
    then won the Storm Reign On back in 2013 I think it was.

    I remember the first year I was on here it seemed like only new posters were winning every week. It happened so often that it even became an running joke for a while (i.e. if you don't win within the first month, forget it). I've still never won myself though.

    I won after just a couple of weeks so I probably had less than 200 posts at the time.
