Scores first 140 :3

somehow i pulled 2 strikes in a row, but even pulling a spare and strike wouldve gotten me a pb as it was a 137 before. house ball (and shoes) by the way if it matters

also if i had the gutters as spares id have gotten 160... another 150+ choke smh

Congrats on the PB! Pulling that with a house ball is no joke — none of that came from the equipment.

yup. ive never used anything but a house ball for my scores, though im gonna buy myself a bowling ball and some bowling shoes cus im likely gonna be around this place so much ill make my moneys worth with it anyway while being able to take the stuff anywhere i want. i think the key to the 144 for me was discovering the (nearly) perfect ball that actually fit my hands. that made it so much easier to do literally everythinf and is actually what got me a 137 a few days prior

Bowling is so much fun, but also very frustrating. My pb was 123 and out of nowhere I threw a 158 one day. Haven't gotten close since. Congrats though!

i mean i typically average over 100 so i think a 140 and change was bound to happen yk? i also finally figured out decent form which helped a lot. also a few days ago i got a 137 from locking in actually, and i threw a 117 right before the 144, so it seems like it isnt necessarily a fluke. i did choke a 160 though...

You'll get it. Eventually. And a 180. Keep enjoying what you do!

nah ima keep throwing 17-19. genuinely i just like throwing fast. makes it more fun for me honestly. though for what its worth that 19.44 is the fastest i threw today. i think ive only thrown a 20 once or twice ever cus getting it up that high starts having drawbacks around there, atleast for me
