Thread: Greetings from the Michigan, too.

    Default Greetings from the Michigan, too.

    I love everything there is about bowling. I've been bowling all my life. This young season, I'm averaging 221 after 12 games. My high is 300 x 5 and high series is 833. Currently, my equipment consists of Storm Domination, Storm Charge, Storm Secret Agent (do you think I like storm?), and a White Dot for spares. I'm a lefty, too, so God has been good to me. I bowl at a place called Country Lanes in Farmington Hills, MI. They still have wood lanes there. I would like to get back into bowling tournaments, however, I bowl the Detroit Masters each January....finished 8th place a few years ago...had a poor showing last year. Take care all!

    Happy to have you with us.

    Now, if you could impart any great wisdom on how to roll a 300 or 800 series, that would be great.
    But, leave out the "I was lucky or was in the zone". All of you (with a 300 or 800) know something the rest of us don't know, SO spill or spell it out for us.

    Okay, soapbox taken away (rudely, I might add), sub-par Sunday league will leave it at that.

    Ahh...Welcome to the boards.
    All pins are POSSESSED, I'm just happy to be able to exorcise the poor dears and put them out of their misery.

    The key is being able to read the lane, know what kind of ball to use, and be able to hit your mark consistently and accurately, as well as making your adjustments along the way. Once you can do those things...it's actually pretty easy. Oh ya, you also can't let the crowd that gathers behind you cheering each shot in the 10th frame make you nervous either.

    People actually gather around you, most people run away from me
    I watched a friend bowl a 299, wow talk about a rowdy crowd and yes I do believe it would make me a wee bit self-conscious.

    Where I live actually have wood lanes too. I like them, yet the oil gets sucked up it seems.
