I got my wii on Friday and hooked it up to my 720p projector shooting 92". Bowling is a lot of fun, Baseball is a lot harder than I expected. My arm is sore... and to stay on topic, I managed a 6 pack once but nothing else since then...

I bowled a 300 using this simple method. Move three/four clicks to the right. Throw ball straight down the middle (no curve).

I consistently bowl over 200 now.

Yah it's actually really simple. I bowled a 279 (1 9/ spare) the game before I bowled a 300. I can now bowl a 300 or 279 every time, however it just isn't fun. I wish I never learned how to do it. But when I play w/friends, I just do it my normal curve way.

JBL speakers? oh come now...
:D

I got those when I worked at best buy and got my discount. They were the best speakers they sold at the time. They are actually about 6 years old and are still very good :)

QFT...i use this method or move over to the 2nd to last dot and curve it by swining controler just like normal arm and releasing about 90% to the peak of release (so ball kida hops onto the lane). seems to spin just right to catch em all often enough.
Only gotten 1 300 though

Thanks! I'm starting to figure it out somewhat. The training is very helpful as well to learn how to control hook/slice. Now if I can only figure out how to pickup a 7/10 split.

I find this one the toughest to do consistantly but heres how i've done it - move as far as you can over to the opposite hand you bowl with. Aim to the opposite side pin (so if your a rightly move all the way to the left shoot for the 10 pin). I use zoom to then move it just so I'm slightly inside the 10 pin. Then give it enough hook so that it will cut just enough to hit the edge of the pin - if you do it just right it will bounce off the wall taking out the other pin.
