Nice work! 599 is still my best.
I am almost a year into my bowling adventure and I hit a second milestone. I just got my first 600 series.
I have been practicing (with a purpose) quite a bit and was thinking to myself that tonight it would be great to finally hit this mark. It was iffy and I got it the ugly way. My average in this league is a 165 but, I know that I can bowl better than this when I focus. The first game I hit a 188. The second game was a 199 (thanks to some open frames on my part). The third game, I start out with two strikes and then gutter to start the third frame. I picked up the spare and changed balls. Then get spares for the next two frames and I am at a 97. I then bowl 5 strikes in a row, including striking to open then tenth frame. My next ball is a 7, leaving a split. I pick up 2 of the remaining pins. I look up and I've bowled a 233.
My next goal is, obviously, a 700 series but, considering that less than a year ago, bowling a 400 series was a challenge, I'm going to enjoy this moment, if only for tonight.
Nice series! My best is a 656, though I have not broken 500 since coming back. Yesterday I didn't even break 400.
Keep at it, at your rate you'll get to 700 in no time.

Congrats. Keep it up. The first time you get one the 2nd and 3rd times are much easier to get. I've gotten close to a 700 series a few times the last few years and I finally got my first 700 series this summer, then 3 weeks later I got another one.
Way to go! Pretty soon 6xx will be old hat just like 5xx was. Congrats! Keep up the good work.

Arsenal consists of mainly 15# Motiv balls, I have several now and they are the bomb! Too many to list and carry. Still have a couple Hammer balls and my AMF RPM Swirl (old reliable) & 25+yr old Linds worth a mention
Currently 535+ Rev Rate @ 19 MPH (This probably needs to be updated, I think I've toned each down a click or two these days. I'm letting the ball do more of the work as I get older.)
Well, I got my second 600 series but, this time, I wasn't as ecstatic. I bowled a 228, a 235 and...a 160. I guess it was because I was really wanting a 700. However, given that my one-year anniversary as a bowler is coming up in about 1.5 weeks, I'm happy with the progress I am making. I only wish I hadn't waited until my 47th year of life before taking up this sport.
