**MexicanStallion** · 02-19-11, 01:32 AM

**Mr KLC** · 02-19-11, 02:22 AM

I've been a career 140 bowler while my son is about at a 200.

**ttwarrior1** · 02-19-11, 02:44 AM

**Eleven** · 02-19-11, 03:07 AM

LOL! Well, I never heard of anyone getting a heart attack while bowling unlike what happens in marathons.

I had a 300 in May 2000. I had a split in the first frame then 11 strikes in a row in the 278 game this past Sunday.

**blackbeSSt** · 02-19-11, 09:31 AM

normally bowling, buck 25ish. wii bowling, 250ish

**stevenash** · 02-19-11, 09:36 AM

217 back in the day, spent two years on the Regional tour with not much success.
One TV appearance, got my lunch handed to me 256-204.

Game is a joke now, polyurethane balls hit the pocket like freight trains, grooved oil patterns make 160 bowlers 185 bowlers.
Retired 5 years ago.

**ji03** · 02-19-11, 09:43 AM

Average score of about 100 with a high of 175

**mattmc419** · 02-19-11, 09:50 AM

Around 180, high of 223.

I think I could be pretty good if I bowled more often lol

**Brewers in 7** · 02-19-11, 09:55 AM

Havent bowled in 2 years, but had a 202 average the last league i was in, got my 300 back in 2002, also a crappy 296 and a 297..

180 tells me you hit the pocket OK, get your share of strikes, but miss corner pin spares.

**SportsMushroom** · 02-19-11, 01:01 PM

highest i ever got was around 150-160

dont bowl much though

**drunkenbeaver** · 02-19-11, 01:07 PM

average about 150. been over 200 a few times but not in a while. high 228, don't think i'll ever get back because i only bowl when i'm drunk.

**mighty maron** · 02-19-11, 01:08 PM

I do pretty well

**mitote** · 02-19-11, 01:12 PM

Always do my practice shots in the bar before the games start! Average 2 shots and 2 beers a game! On a good night maybe 3!

**Tomahawk** · 02-19-11, 01:19 PM

That's really good.

I used to get around 110.

If I'm not in the mood I have 90 and on better days 130.

After about a 15-year absence from the game from 1980 to 1995, I went back to bowling and was wondering, gosh, a lot of guys with high averages! I never thought much about the fact that the bowling balls changed until one night I watched a regular old guy bowl big hooks without doing much upon release. In the old days when bowlers complained about the equipment, it was like "Yeah, right." There was something YOU were doing wrong. But now days, you DO change equipment like get a different bowling ball that reacts a different way and/or position yourself on the approach in reaction to the lane's changing oil pattern. It was much simpler in the old day but harder to get the higher scores.

So I learned about reactive bowling balls and started using a Red Wolf which I still use today. Within three months of changing to a reactive ball, I bowled my first 300 game.

After another 3 years away from the game, I came back this past fall. The guys who were bowling 210s three years ago were now bowling around 225! Our league already has 6 guys who've bowled 300 games and 2 guys reached over 800 series! Sheesh! This is getting ridiculous!

**Poppa K** · 02-19-11, 02:40 PM

Average every 5 years or so...

**Zak** · 02-19-11, 02:51 PM

only 150 for me.

**tmorton** · 02-19-11, 05:31 PM

220 but I am left handed which is like cheating... Probably only about 190 if I were right handed!

**tmorton** · 02-19-11, 05:32 PM

Golfing is more my thing... Bowling just gets me through the winter!
