Thread: New bowler in town just saying hi.

  1. #1

    Default New bowler in town just saying hi.

    Hey guys just thought I'd drop by and introduce myself.I live in Duluth, Georgia. I'm currently 27 and have been bowling on and off just for fun. However, recently I got my butt handed to me by a friend of mine. Of course, no one likes to lose right? So I decided I wanted to really learn how to bowl so I can keep up and eventually beat my friends. Currently I'm using an old Teal Rhino from Brunswick that I've had for ages. I used to bowl with two fingers, but I'm trying to learn how to bowl with three fingers now. Searched all through youtube and google, and landed myself here. I hope to learn a lot from the community here and get to know everyone.

    Welcome to the forum. I hope that the advice given here helps you not only beat your friend but might also peak your interest in bowling on a league and maybe even get some of your other friends into bowling. This sport has been on a decline and things need to be done to get it back to the good old days when bowling was very popular. We need to do what we can to keep it going. Good luck with your goals.

    I am a 2 finger bowler as well, and average around 140, but it is true 3 fingers will throw you a more consistant shot, but I feel 2 fingers gives more power,
