    I misread the initial post. If a long I bowl 5 games and do it in about an hour and 10 minutes. I usually go straight through a game and might sit a few minutes between.

    I generally bowl one right after another, and then take a 5-10 minute break between games, if I'm bowling by myself.

    I always practice with the wife, we get two lanes that switch back and fourth and bowl 3 games just like league. We can burn the three games out in a little under and hr. I stand almost all of the time we bowl.

    I've never really bowled on lanes all by myself. But in 3 games, me and someone else can normally bowl in about an hour. So I'd say I can bowl three games in anywhere from half an hour to 40 minutes. I really don't like to take a break while in between games, especially if I'm on a roll. I want to keep it going as long as I can.

    I'll go and practice and generally get 2 lanes, I will bowl on the quick side and will usually work on different items.
    I will usually bowl 4 games, at least one game is just practice on whatever has given me trouble recently, more often than not
    it's 10 pins and 7 pins , I will just throw one ball at each every frame.
    The other 3 games I will try different things and sometime just do a 3 game set as if I was bowling league...I am trying to get better at slowing down and sitting down every couple of frames but have often found myself going too fast.
    When I was throwing a 15lb ball this would sometime cause some elbow pain but with the 14 that doesn't happen.

    How fast do I bowl a game if by myself....
    well fast enough that I attempted the world record for pinfall in 24 hours. Didn't break it but gave it a try.

    Now I either bowl with at least one other person or just work on specific things. When working on specifics I don't even turn the scoring on. Last Sunday I did one step and foul line drills for three hours, hasd my worse series of the short season on Monday to boot!

    This record would take less time to break: http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/eye-...-bowled-minute

    You must be in great shape!!!
