I love to bowl, especially with my kids. My eldest averages @ 217, son #2 is at 205. My 16 year old daughter will soon out average her old man.
I carried 198 for several years, but slipped a bit last season, to 186. I was making more spares, but not carrying as many strikes. Too many other distraction, I think, although I am the olnly one in the family with a 300 ring.
I am a certified beginner level coach, although many experienced bowlers come to me for advice as well.
What kind of gear do you all use? I've got Linds shoes, an Elite Black Label, Brunswick Crossfire, and a Columbia Messenger Ti bowling ball for various lane conditions, plus a plastic ball for throwing at corner pins on dry lanes. They are all drill "fingertip," with thumb slugs and finger grips.
I use a rather conventional 4 step approach with a moderate backswing and a fully extended follow through. I've been told that my form is almost always perfect, even if my results are not. I guess that if I can't bowl well, I can still look good doing it!
Not planning on bowling in a league this season. Too busy with a music project, but I'll still get out often.
