    Is this guy throwing all 9-pin strikes? Or true strikes? If he's consistently throwing true strikes then I'd suspect he's a sandbagger. Otherwise I'd say that he probably has trouble striking and converting spares during league.

    How much cash is he earning in these 9-pin not tap tournaments?

    Bowlers who truly average 150 are bowlers that tend to leave more multi-pin spares because they are inconsistent at hitting the head pin on the first ball. They are not bowlers who will consistently shoot 250+ in a no-tap tournament because they are going to leave - on average - three or four multi-pin spares every game.

    it could just be he sucks badly at spare shooting. 30+ years ago i averaged 154 with 6 strkes a game but the problem was i could not pick up a 10 pin. I learned how to pick up the 10 and went from 154 to 197 in one season. That being said he sounds like a sandbager although he could be doing it "legally" by bowling league in a "brickyard" of a center
    Still love the game but had to quit because of my left leg amptation
