BOWLING UPS AND DOWNS


I've had some good luck bowling these past few weeks.  On my Monday league, for the past 3 weeks I've had 200+ games.  Unfortunately, I would follow each big game with a game just barely over 100.  What gives with that?  I guess I use up all my adrenaline on the first game.

I'm toying with the idea of getting a new ball, one that is weighted to throw a curve.  Right now, I throw mainly a straight ball with a teeny curve at the end.  I'm afraid, though, if I spend some big bucks on a new ball that I won't be able to control it and will wind up not using it.  We'll see.

I'm bowling this afternoon.  I'm ready for a 200+ game - and this time I don't plan to follow with a lousy game.

UPDATE:  I bowled a 201 in my first game, followed by a so-so 130 then a 146.  Not too bad.

Well, you're a better bowler than moi :) Is there someone at your bowling alley who gives lessons? Maybe they would teach you how to throw the new ball? Have fun!

I remember when I used to belong to a couple of bowling leagues, it happened often that I would bowl a really high game and then suck at the next one! lol I've started bowling again but this time on the Wii!! hehe I love it and actually bowled a 220 yesterday. It's like real life bowling though because the second game was 144! lol xoxo

Man, I am lucky to have a 200 game once a SEASON! lol A couple of weeks ago I was close with my 191 though.
