I wish I bowled more. Averaged 220 in HS, and managed to register a 225-245 at some point in college and law school, haven't bowled in years, though.
Loved some backhand no spin bowling, where you release with slight initial backspin with the back of your hand forward. What I lost in pin action, I more than gained in control.

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. |

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. |

Call BS if you wish, but some in some crate was our senior year jerkoff 'Lifetime Sports' PhysEd bowling records. Haven't gazed upon it in a while, nearing 25 years, but it was over 220, almost sure in the 225 range. And if my terminology is off it was because I wasn't taught. We just went to the alley 3x a week for a semester and free-bowled.

You may have bowled a 225 GAME once. Anyone can do it once. There's a huge ****ing difference between doing it once and AVERAGING 225. If I get a hole in one, does that mean my average score for 18 holes of golf is 18? |

He just got intentionally walked in the 8th inning with a runner on 3rd base. Pretty good for your 5th game.
