Yep. The best bowler in our bowling league averaged a 219 this year. I've seen several people average 225 over the years...one of my best friends had a 231 average 4 years ago and it seemed like he was turning in a 750 every ****ing week...

but no ****ing backhand spinner is going to average a 225...you can't constantly leave 7 and 10 pins and be a 225 bowler...and there is no ****ing way a guy who isn't throwing a correct hook has an average a 225. At least say 200 and make it believable.

He already said that style causes him to have little pin action...well, guy, if you don't have pin action, you aren't AVERAGING a 225.

He may have got lucky once and bowled a 220, and now he thinks that was his average. Kind of like a golf n00b who managed to par a hole once and thinks he can shoot in the 70s.

This.

Me and my Dad used to bowl a lot, and my Dad's highest game ever was 223. He had that same back-handed release, and got absolutely no ball speed whatsoever. Only times he got high scores was if he was lucky as shit, and he'll even admit it.

There isn't really an easy way. What I usually do is try several different starting positions on the walk-through and then tinker with different angles until I find a good path.

All I have is my memory and my reputation as an honest person. It was no big deal, we just went there and bowled. I messed around and recorded my scores for attendance/grades [not score dependent]. I wasn't throwing really high scores and really low ones. Just consistent from low 200s to low 240s skewing to high 220s most of the time. Somewhere in the range of 7 strikes and 3 spares, rare open frames. Only explanation is; I'm left handed so I tread untrod ground, we rarely switched lanes, I'm sure the lane maintenance was minimal, and I just regularly hit the same spot time after time.

No way I'm pinning my entire reputation on so trivial and ancient a bit of information. I just wanted to express some nostalgia at fun times past, not stir up some cyber hornets' nest over something so stupid and incidental.

On the up side, Hootie now has something really juicy to roast me over were I so honored, however remote the chances I rate above the luminaries already enumerated, to still somehow rate in the pantheon of the 101.
