since no one is posting in this, does that mean that no one in this forum likes bowling? I am an above average bowler and will gladly help with any problems anyone has....if anyone reads this <img src="/images/graemlins/computer.gif" alt="" />

I like to bowl and did not know there was bowling here. I have not fully explored all the topics yet. This past March we had a bowling party for my son's tenth birthday.
The only problem is that no one showed up. I paid $200+ for the party, reserved the lanes. We did the invitations for all the classmates in the third grade, some forgot the invites and due to language barriers and cultural differences the message did not get home to parents. Also the kids were stuck on what RSVP meant.
I would like my son to join a bowling league. I enjoyed one when I was in my early teens. It is a great summer activity since it is Air Conditioned and exercise.

200+???? I work at a center. We charge a $60 minimum and anything over ten people is just $6 per person. For what you paid, you would have had to had about 33 people bowl. That includes shoes, lanes, ice, etc. Sorry about your ordeal though. If you do get him in league, feel free to post any questions on here. I'm not the moderator, but noone seems to come on here, so I can handle ANY questions for you. I love bowling and am currently at a 190 average. You should take up bowling in league too. It is a great fun sport.

I am currently bowling in my first league. I bowled quite a bit growing up, but never for any real competition. I am enjoying it and I will be bowling in a fall league as well. I do ok, but I am not very consistent. I normally have 1 really bad game, 1 really good game, and 1 ok game.

What is your style? Are you righty or lefty, ball speeed, straight ball or hook? Just a few general tips: If your ball is going too far left, move left. If it is going too far right, move right. Take it slow. Don't try to muscle the ball. Just throw it and let the ball do the work. Also, what weight do you throw? I love coaching, so let me know if you need something. Good luck in your league. I bowl league tonight, and I will post and let you know how I did. Last week I shot a 277. So close to my 300. Dang nervousness...

TODAY'S TIP (from experience): Be sure to have a ball that fits properly and is comfortable to you.
Tonight I had a 204, 179, and 114 for a huge 497 series (my average was 186). Near the end of the second game and all through the third game, my thumb was killing me. My thumbhole is way too big causing me to squeeze in my backswing, which formed a blister right where my thumb meets my palm. It is extremely hard to throw with a blistered thumb. it killed me that third game. That was my lowest game in two years. be sure you have a ball properly drilled to fit your hand so that it is comfortable to you at all times. Otherwise, you will be extremely sorry. trust me.

sure lots of people like bowling. just go to one of the bowling forum sites (ballreviews.com, bowlingballexchange.com, etc) where people actually know something about bowling instead of your stupid Gary King. Maybe one day he will learn something about bowling and the bowling section of this site will be worth a [censored].

I am a member of www.bowl.com and www.ballreviews.com I heard a little bit about his review. The brunswick thing right? Well, when a company loses 1.5 million dollars a year, it is time for something to change. I just like to help people out. I'm not worried about him. I can make this site worth a [censored] (as you put). Hope I can be of some help one day.

not just the brunswick article. read all of his articles. the problem with bowling is the sanctioning body. the abc was is in a steady state of decline and now the usbc is out to kill bowling.
