Will a brand new ball improve my game?

[striker12]

thats a great idea show how u are doing then other people can see it and help you out abit if they see any thing that u might be doing wrong and also upload a video of you bowling and see how you are doing and people will comment on what u are doing wrong and what u are doing right soo then when u go to bowl again u got info that will help u fix a problem or make it better

Woop got myself a new high score this morning, 218! lanes seemed really easy, my second game was a 181 but its better than my normal average!

[striker12]

thats pretty good thats some nice games i wish the lanes i bowl on where ever good there eather dead dry or way to much oil that u can see a fish tail come off my ball

[IlsonBowler24]

I have a slight advantage because my brother is the head mechanic and he dresses the lanes so he has a fair idea when the best time to bowl is for me, the only thing is that it is not as much of a challenge for me when the lanes are perfect.

I love my Scorchin' Inferno in those conditions though £30 for a second hand ball - BARGAIN! LOL

My fingers notoriously shrink as the night goes on and when I need to make my grips tighter I use little pieces of business card between the grip and the ball.

In the UK you bowl on tougher conditions than we do here. The guy is probably putting out the US house pattern for you.

We have bowling friends from the UK that we see when they come here on vacation. They load up on bowling equipment when they're here. They miscalculated a bit and had to saw off the handle of a new roller bag to get it into the car.

lol ilsonbowler thats pritty good how your bothers the head machenic this head machenic are my bowling allie ik pretty well so im always at the bowling allie 1hr befor leauge and i get a test game in there to test the lanes and he tells me how there oiled and where u should play at soo it somes in handy being friends with the head mechanic.

but soon im going to get a new ball but not sure whcih one yet but its going to be a solid then later on in the future of a couple months i will be getting a polished one to help out when the lanes start to burn down

[IlsonBowler24]

I wish I could come to the US to get bowling equipment, it's so much cheaper over there, it would probably cost a fair bit to return with though

Yeah my brother does the same lol he just says bowl it here pretty much and it usually works, but to my credit he wasn't there on saturday when I bowled 218

I'm gonna wait till I get a new ball, I'm going to try and learn a few styles of bowling so it gives me options in different conditions, then when I feel I can consistently get scores of 180 for example I will purchase a new one, I'm really interested in the DV8 hell raiser (yellow/ black/ red) the ball looks awesome

Bowled 3 games tonight and my first score was 187, the second game was a 190, and my third game was a 227, and I didn't miss a pin I was so proud of myself!. On the 227 game I only used my Storm Fired Up ball because my Scorchin Inferno was leaving the 10 pin a lot! I spent the earlier part of today learning how to get more revs on the ball and this definitely contributed to my score.

Maybe I don't need a brand new ball at all!

You really dont, I'm still a relatively new bowler (not in terms of length but in terms of actually trying to be good) and I bought a new ball just because the old 1995 norm duke hammer I got as a hand me down from my dad was getting too old. I never even redrilled it because it was about as close as you can get to my hand as you can be without drilling it just for me. But before that I bowled my highest game and learned to throw a finger tip with that ball. But 17 years was getting pretty old and it was 16 lbs. If it was 15 and not completely ancient I would have kept throwing it, I loved that thing.

[IlsonBowler24]

What ball did you buy to replace the old ball Timmytomma?
