do we have bowlers in soompi?

i love bowling

i like bowling with friends
but no chance in hell wud i ever watch it on tv

I love bowling too..although I'm quite crappy at it XD

I use to play. I suck thought. My higest score ever was like 130 something lol.

bowling is so fun. i only went there twice though. it's so expensive!! you have to rent shoes and pay for each person.. and yeahh.. i suck at it though. i think i only got strike once. boo hoo

November 29 I'm going since it's one of my friend's bday. I'll count how many gutters I'll get

dont be modest. my highest score was a 120 and i average around 60 points a game. yeah. lol i suck

im the worst in bowling...

though its kinda fun

but embarassing haha

lol im not that good at it, just play for fun with a huge group of friends once a week or two ^^ average about 125 right now.. high is only 157 =[

i play with a group of frds, and i m the suckiest of the group -___- its fun tho!

i bowl for fun.
but my bf is a bowler...
he's in the national youth.

I play sometimes...

It's fun but I suck at it.

I usually go once a week. There's a place out here that has $1 bowling per game after 9pm on Monday's and Wednesday's. It's the best entertainment money can buy for $3-$4 a nite! ha ha.

my bowling ball:


some bowling themed cakes i made for friends' bday's:






bowling's alright...

That's friggin' hardcore!

^^ rofl hello kitty bowling ball.


high is now.. 175 =)

Wow, that looks neat. How heavy is it and what grip do you use?

I prefer fingertip, and my ball is 15.9 pounds.

My highest was 244.

Peace!

I bowl

you're hardcore
i'm just a straightbowler
the hk ball is 10 lbs, but it's a little light for me
i wanted an 11, but they only came in 10 or 12

my high is 172
but i'm super inconsistent

i love it

well i suck, but i just started so i dont expect anything, anyways i just joined my hs's Girl JV Bowling team, i really suck, like i got like a 50 on my first day, but i gotta say i'm getting better.. 124 today at practice ^^

the balls are really heavy, i only use a 10lbs


OMG where u get that bowling ball? its BEAUTIFUL! i LOVE HK!

anyways, ur really talented in the "cookin" division.. those are some cake!

The ball you use is actually supposed to be consistent with your age. Like if you're 12 use a 12 pound ball, 13, 13...etc. of course once you get past 16, you're stuck with 16 because they dont come any heavier.

Nice to know soomp, maybe ill get a hello kitty ball for jenn, maybe that'll get her bowling.

Peace!

^: No, it's not by age. For the best curves you use 11. It depends on what your technique your using. I see some 8 year old using a 10 pound ball, i dont blame him.




My highest : 210.. around there
Average: 160-180

Haven't bowled in a year... since I moved.


Edit_: How much is a game of bowling cost? For just 2 games here its 25 bucks... I was like.. wtf?! cause its only 2 bucks a game down in LA.

2 games for 25?! my god.


me and my friends go to the wed night special.. 6 bucks to get in, but each game is 25 cents

well, thats the way i was taught to bowl. Because for me when i was bowling on my JV/V team, i was using a 12 pound ball and the ball basically became weightless at the height of my back swing. That resulted in a loss of control. Thats when my coach told me to use his ball and it was heavier, like 3 pounds heavier. I got better control with it, but yea it took some time to get used to.

Peace!

Yeah I like to bowl with friends n family quite fun especially when someone slips and falls

wow thats expensive! its $1.50 each game for each person here in NY and then $1 for shoe

=D

i slid to the middle of the aisle once because my fingers got stuck in the holes;D

I like bowling - I used to be really competitive about it when I played, but now I just play for fun : )

can't live without it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suck at bowling.. which is why the highest i ever got was 115. (i think for a beginner, anyone else can do better)
It's fun when your playing for funnn! keke.

I think an instructor would tell you to bowl with a ball that's 10-15% of your body weight, and 16lbs, of course, being the heaviest.

I used to try to bowl once a week. We have all-you-can-bowl on Tuesdays for $7.99 with shoe rental, but my friends and I have our own shoes already. I haven't bowled for two or three weeks, and a month before that time.

My handicap right now is at 141. And my highest ever, on a really good night, when I was feeling "in-the-zone" was 246. I took a picture and stopped playing for the night when it happened. I need to get my own ball though--playing with 13s. The ones at the lanes just aren't cutting it--cores are too simple.



And just to show what a loser I am, my friends and I went to Las Vegas just to participate in a bowling tournament. Then we turned around and came directly home. I think it runs in the family. My grandpa and my dad used to bowl in leagues in the Philippines and here in the states. I was using my grandpa's old 12.5-lb ball, but that thing doesn't turn whatsoever.

i love bowling i always get a sore arm the next day xD

That cake looks yummy!

I use a 14.6lb ball, I used to bowl at least once a week, but not anymore.

i love bowling now that i know how to spin the ball

im my schools bowling captain *beams!* haha. that was one of my proudest moments. hmmm. but honestly, i dont love it all that much. cos i am pretty much forced to train sooo many times a week! (of course during competition periods only)

i love bowling....... anyway i think i improved a lot avg score for me now is 140 + and highest was 187



my goal atleast 200

Hey, we're about the same. I'd like to hit 200s too. My goal is just to not have open frames.

I bowl! Lol. But i'm inconsistent. heh heh.

If it's my day, it's my day.

If it sucks, then it sucks.

I love bowling :]
On Tuesday's @ AMF, pay for one game, the next games are only $.25 cents
Yay for Quarter Mania~

haha yeah its fun playing with a group of ppl... im so so... lol.

my goodness.. im really bad at this game.. the ball keeps going onto the sides so they had to put the barrier up. it was soo embarassing!!

i like bowling [:
fasho

I love bowling! I'm told i'm quite good. I can average about 170-200. In the future, i hope to own a clear bowling ball with a boxing glove inside. Has anybody seen those? They're so flippin cool!

they have other designs with clear balls as well. They're used mostly as spare balls.

if that is your average than yes, you are better than most people who play for fun.

haha i love bowling..but i do it for fun. im not those hardcore bowlers =P

had to come back
coming monday will be my last bowling tournament and i'll have to retire T-T

has much as i hated the hardcore training and how my thumb got ugly over these few years, how blisters developed and the number of times i nearly sprained my wrist... i guess its one sport i wont forget my teammates dont come on soompi but i have to get it out somewhere

i dont understand why NON bowlers make fun of this sport. they say things like they thought bowling's a club... you only take 5 steps, its not a sport, its super slack etc. non bowlers never understand how strenous it is to train 3 hours without stopping. you can't sit because you have to maintain the agression and i've been people bowl with a bleeding thumb during competitions. so many bowling mishaps happened to me and my mates but it was fun while it lasted~~~

ahhhh. didn't know where to let it out so i guess here on soompi. not many people will see it

i had my last training today:D before the big day for singles on monday. thurs will be doubles ~~ then i'll have to be a super mugger good daughter to my parents and study everyday!

LOL, isnt that ball plastic? plastics arent good for hook/curves. unless ur really good at straight hehe
i just ordered my ball, i got Cherry vibe from hammers. I just started so i kinda suck, my highest was 158.
My bf got in the sessionals and scholarships for bowling, got accepted to syracusseee~
His highest i believe was 278, his average is 220's
