Bowled my first 600 series last night.

[polm]

I started bowling a little over 1 year ago. This past Fall I joined a mixed league. I carry a 170 average which I'm quite proud of, but until last night the closest I'd come to a 600 was a 597 series a few weeks ago.

Last night I came out pretty weak with a 150 in my first game. But I made a couple adjustments (moved a few boards left) and bowled a 258 in my second game.

Game three I bowled strikes in my first 9 frames. I was so nervous when I got up to bowl the tenth that my knees were shaking.

I choked and left the 10 pin. Which I did not pick up. Finished with a 267.

Series total : 675

congrats! I used to bowl back in middle and high school, had one or two 600 series... My high game was around a 258 (or so, dont recall the exact number but it was just over 250)

Good Job

I would be shitting myself if I bowled 9 straight strikes. Then again, that'd never happen. Congrats, those are some high scores.

do you guys curve the ball or just go straight?

I put a moderate amount of hook on the ball. I'm no cranker but I'm becoming less and less of a down-and-in shooter.

What's this day of rest sh!t? What's this bullsh!t? I don't fvckin' care! It don't matter to Jesus. But you're not foolin' me, man. You might fool the fvcks in the league office, but you don't fool Jesus. This bush league psyche-out stuff. Laughable, man - ha ha! I would have fvcked you in the ass Saturday. I fvck you in the ass next Wednesday instead. Wooo! You got a date Wednesday, baby!

Awesome! I carried a ~165 average the last time i bowled in a league (couple years ago) and never had a 600 series. :thumbsup:

Congrats! I have a few (very few) 700 series. My buddy has five or so 800 series rings. I am quite envious, I wish I could bowl that well.

Do it man...it's a good way to get out of the house once a week at least...and have some fun. If you don't take it too seriously it's a really great time to sit and relax and hangout with friends (or make new friends).
