hello, spotted this thread while surfing hwz. i was a bowler for my jc team and stopped since army. retired now and hand is a little itchy but cant bowl due to budget constraints. perhaps i can share what i know (though limited)
Some specs to get everyone to know me:
Right hand hook bowler (used 14pound, columbia messenger tit and white dot for spares)
lifetime average ard 150, average ard 175 during competitive time, current average is 0 (since not bowling)
more of a tweener (do they use this term anymore?) which is a cross btw a stroker and power bowler.
normally use board 5 and below for normal line, board 7 and below when playing safe.
is that all? cant remember that much.
and a reply to Sonic_, spares win the game, not strikes. conc on making spares (use pin 7. 5 and 10 as guide and move from there to hit the other spares)
once again, great to see so many ppl interested in bowling since the 'heyday' of early 2000s.
nice to meet you guys.
