You mean the guy averaging 170, who the previous year had averaged 210?Originally Posted by foreverincamo
Maybe the problem wasn't with the conditions, he might have simply been in a severe slump.
Have to give kudos to the bowler I talked about earlier in this thread. After struggling all season with a high game of 200, he beat that twice and shot 650.

Actually he's averaging 170 in our league while averaging 210 at another house on Saturday. He kept saying his equipment was too aggressive but it was really a matter of ball speed. He ramped it up and BOOM!
A couple of weeks ago, we were in first, too, and bowled a team that won the league last year. One of their guys, with a 160-something average, shoots 701 scratch, including a game with the first 9 (279). We lost all points that night.
Don't slow down now!!
The difference between first and last place money-wise is $20/bowler. Winning is for bragging rights. Still want to win though !
Last week we had a 100 average bowler who has been bowling for about a month bowl a 192 against us. BRUTAL!
Equipment Storm Intense, Storm Byte, Storm Crux, Storm Optimus Solid, Roto Grip Menace (deceased) Hammer Nail Smoke & Fire (deceased), Ebonite Maxim (spare)
Achievements High sanctioned game - 300 (4); High sanctioned series - 772
Hate when that happens!
No longer in first place after tonite. We were up by 1/2 game over 2nd place and 1 game over third. We bowled the 3rd place team and lost 5 points and won 2. I bowled against the top bowler in the league. He beat me 724 to 698 scratch. They shot 1150 and 1102 scratch the first two games. We had a bowler not even show up tonite, no phone call or text until game 2 to find he is in Nashville,TN. One of our teammates hobbled in with a bad back and shot 489. Told him to just go home but he wanted to try. Can't blame him for that.
Get em next week I guess
To win the league, you don't need to lead the most laps, just lead at the conclusion of the last one.
