Bowlers... your highest score ever?

I don't believe this guy for one second but I have to point out that averaging 220 in league play is not that uncommon. However, the same bowlers would be lucky to average 190 on the pro tour. The lane conditions are much tougher PLUS the pins are 4 oz. heavier (which makes a big difference). Bowl on a sport shot if you want to get a taste of how difficult the shot is on the tour. It will humble you for sure.

Right I understand. Bowled a sport shot for the high school championship. A 240 average on a house shot is possible, but it doesn't happen to two guys on the same high school team whose high scores are 260 or 270. Also, what kind of bowler is that good and doesn't remember his high score?

Well seeing at how that was 8 years ago, I don't remember what my exact high score is.. sorry that I upset you so badly.
I do know that we averaged around 240 though, because I remember our handicap was nada.

Sorry don't believe you for a second.

Not butthurt, I'm just not an idiot. Bama fans called you out first sir. Everyone who bowls or bowled regularly also called you out. It's because your story makes no sense.

Scholarship to PSU. I was seriously considering going pro until a guy conned me and ended up sticking my hand inside the ball return. Lost my right hand and it hasn't been the same since.
But in all seriousness, I was top 30 in PA in high school, but knew early enough that bowling was a dead end. Had a few friends try out for the US Open, but everyone eventually realized that bowling for a living wasn't gonna work out. Now that I live in the city, not much chance to bowl.

I actually took a picture of you when you attempted that comeback. All I remember was that some wrinkly old hag was was going on and on about "rent"... but I could tell that she was diggin your mojo. I wonder if you ever met her?

I had a 298 once. Ball slipped off thumb and got a lucky 8 count in the 12th. A few 279s, one of which rolled 17 strikes in a row between 2 games. Used to be into bowling pretty deep until pops passed when I was 16. I averaged about 205-210 back in the day in a youth travel league in Cali when I was 15. Haven't bowled seriously since then.

I always suck at bowling because I'm left handed, and there's never left handed bowling balls whenever I bowl.
Edit: Obligatory Big Lebowski gif.

Honestly consider buying one that fits you. You have NO idea how much better it gets. It's night and day.

I'd imagine a bowling ball to fit my hand would be better. I always leave the bowling alley with sore fingers and wrist from bowling with a right handed ball.

No from only a comfort standpoint but you would likely see an increase in score. It's a different game when you get the right equipment. More so in bowling than in probably any other sport I play

279 a couple times. 8th and 9th frames. After the first 8 or 9, everything felt off. My finger tips felt in the wrong place. Got nervous.

That's what they refer to as 'tight anus'

Congrats on your first 200! As a local USBC rep, I love watching bowlers acheive and the joy they get from that.
I have 6 300's (5 sanctioned) and a high set of 800. The 800 was when I shot my first 300, 270-230-300. so I needed to carry every shot to knock off both milestones.
Congrats again!

213 was my highest. I was in a league for 3 years. I have however seen a guy on my uncles team bowl a perfect 300. The whole damn place was gathered around by the 8th frame and went nuts when the last strike happened.

So the highest current average on the tour is 236 and you had two guys average 240 on the same team in high school? Yeah, that didn't happen. Also the 260/70 thing but 240 average is a dead giveaway.

The oil patterns on the tour are a lot harder than your average bowling alley. I've seen a couple guys average around 240. Regardless, that guys is still full of shit.
My high is 290, smoked a nine pin the second call of the tenth.

267
it was probably my 10-11th game of the night. my previous game was a 145.
1st frame 8 split
2nd frame 9
then 10 straight strikes.
the difference? had a drunk guy who had quit bowling for the night tell me to move 7 boards to the right and aim 1 arrow to the right of where i was aiming. and voila.
highly doubt i'll ever do it again. i've hit in the 220's several times since then.
