Tonight Was AWESOME *story*
« on: December 10, 2006, 10:20:26 AM »
i went to the local bowling alley to bowl a 6 game set, well allitle background info, iv had 3 199s, and the highest series is a 498 and never gotten to 200 yet or a 500 series. well i bowl and when i get to my 5th game i didnt look at the screen i just went and did what i know to do. well after i got done with my 10th frame the guy that was watchin me bowl was like dude look up. i looked up and i had finally shot my 200 after haveing the curse of getting 3 199s. well, before the 200 i had shot a 166 and then after the 200 i shot a 167. well after i finished bowling i went to ruby tuesdays with the family, and i caculated my last three scores. i shot a 533!!.  so basically to sum up tonight i shot 200, a 533 series, and a 915 (the first three scores were kinda bad since i was trying to move my feet back and over) set for 6 games. i accomplished 2 goals in one night it was aweseome.

Congrats man. I remember it took me a while to shoot my first 200. I got my first 500 before I shot 200. My first 200 was a 200 on the dot, too.

After that, my game started to develop and so did confidence. Shot 200's almost every other week (I was about 11), and my average got higher where i shot averaged over a 500 set.

It's only a matter of time until you start bowling 200s almost every game...but it does take some time . Just always remember not to get flustered when you make a good shot but don't strike. Pick it up, then make a small adjustment/throw a better shot at the next one.

Clean games are always great. I'm still trying to get my first clean set, that one is another accomplishment to feel good about.

You can go into your profile and now change your high game score.

Nice bowling, you will shoot your 600 soon and then it will be a 700.
