I wonder what happen to my 107. Oh well till again.

Greenteayum,
Yeah, traditional bowling is just a LITTLE bit different than candlepin. There's still ten pins on the lane, they are just not spaced out as far and you get to throw a heavier ball at them. Definately a lot easier.

Cookie,
What weight do you use? The heavier weight you can throw, the more pin action you can get. Lighter balls have a tendency to just bounce off the pins. And we don't want that do we? You want the ball to drive through the pins. Also, if you learn to hook the ball instead of throwing it straight, you will increase your pin action. Plus it gives you more room for error. As far as bowling in the league go, the lower average you set, the higher your handicap. So it will still work out. But you will continue to get better. Trust me. Just keep trying.

When I started oh gees I think about 5 months ago I was using a 6 pounder now I use an 8 and a 10 in the same game the 10 starts to feel a little lighter everytime I use an 8 with the 10 in the same game, I have feeling you are going to tell me that I shouldnt be doing that <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I'll keep trying thanks wakka

There is nothing wrong with switching weights. Sometimes a light ball is better for spares than a heavier ball. For example, if you are shooting at the 3-10 (or the 2-7) (the baby splits) then you want the ball to deflect off of the 3 pin and hit the ten. If it drives too hard, it will blow by the ten, causing an open. It is good that you are increasing the weight. Learn to hook it and you will start seeing higher games. Any help you need, just let me know. Good luck and many strikes <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
