A newbie's all time high!

[eyegolf2]

It may not be impressive for most of you but I just bowled my all time high of 171! Wooohoo! I'm new to bowling and I just purchased my future spare ball, a Roto Grip Golden Globe. I had my first finger tip drill with a much heavier ball of 14 lbs. The weight was not an issue at all and the ball went pretty much where I threw it. I still suck but I found so much of an improvement with this ball. I'm saving to buy the Roto Grip Mars ball, we'll see how that goes.

Great! And you did it with the spare ball... You ought to have a good showing when you get your "STRIKE" ball! Keep up the good work. Sounds like you're making headway.

BTW ... I like your signature. Strother Martin was always one of my favorite actors.

Congratulations on your new high game. Just think how well you will do once you get real comfortable and get your new strike ball

Congrats!

I still remember my high game from when I was throwing it completely straight with houseballs
183, and I had a 5-bagger in the middle of it

[eyegolf2]

Thanks everybody. I'll feel better when I can repeat that showing! I don't want it to be a fluke...

Keep up the good times.=)

171 is impressive for a new bowler. I got my ears wet 2 months ago and if you keep practicing you will get higher scores. GJ

You sound just like me. Been bowling for a VERY short time, and I got all giddy with excitement when I bowled a 180. It's always a good feeling when you set a new high. Haha. Keep up the work my friend.
