I have a plastic spare ball. Use it for nothing but 6/9/10 pins. I almost never miss the pins on the right.Originally posted by: NoCreativity

2 more weeks to go until I can bowl again. That'll put me to after Christmas, I guess.
With the exception of the last couple of weeks and a week or two closer to the begining of the season, my spare shooting is between 80-90%. When I am having an off night, everything suffers. I really should get a plastic spare ball but I don't want to carry three balls.

Awesome night. Everything I threw was gold. Only had to shoot at 6 spare the entire night.

Pretty sure the average will go up to 217/8. Only threw 4 balls not in the pocket and one of them ended up being a strike. Nights like this don't come too often.
It's cool how you just KNOW when you're "on". Every time I bowled an 800 series, I knew after just a few frames that I just couldn't miss, and I would carry nearly every time.Originally posted by: NoCreativity
Thanks. Wish I could have about 3 balls back though, could have maybe broken the 800 barrier. The lanes were certainly on my side.

Quick question for you seasoned bowlers...
What's the cheapest way to get a plastic/spare ball? College student budget style![]()
