Types of bowlers that crack you up around the lanes.
« on: September 30, 2009, 01:15:19 AM »
The spoiled rich kid:
1. I was visiting a pro shop and a kid comes in with 6 or 7 balls, all of them massacred. "My parents bought me a spinner for Christmas and I've been practicing"
2. A kid walks into my brother's pro shop and says he wants a new Jigsaw. here's the catch he only throws a 12lbs ball. My brother tries to explain to him he is really wasting his money and lite weight equipment uses different weight blocks, and he can get the same reaction out of a less expensive ball. Nope Mm and Dad say I can buy this one, I want this one.

I hope nobody takes personal offense at this.

The big burly guy with the tattoos - looks like something out of a biker movie - who is using the 12 pound orange house ball with a completely uncoordinated release and a straight (to the gutter) ball that couldn't hit sand on a beach.

The league bowler who get up to the ball return to get his ball and goes into the delivery without ever stopping to get set. Yet, somehow, he always makes the spare. Too funny!

The one who needs a 45 second shot clock because 25 seconds isn't enough time to get through his pre-shot checklist.

I take a long time on the approach, prob around 25 sec.  Anyway, I love the guy that always seems to bowl close by and slaps out every strike and walks out every double.  He usually averages around 190 lol

I do that from time to time when I am bored with bowling. LOL

I like the guy that only bowls in one house or two houses tells everyone he is the greatest thing to ever happen to bowling, and look... I shot 7. Calls other bowlers out but when the person he is calling out steps up to the plate he runs.

We have a guy that sets his ball down on the approach, spins it around until the finger and thumb holes are aligned. Then he'll bend over at the waist, slowly insert his finger, the pop up quickly and heave the ball done the lanes.

It's great comedy....

The guy that gets mad when he leaves the 10 pin....proceeds to use his high friction ball to pick it up only to miss left of the pin...then gets more upset.

Having it happen all night. Over and over. By third time it happens you know every word he is going to say and you know what's going to happen.

You see all types in a bowling alley.  So many different personalities...

I get a chuckle out of the guy that brags about all the 300's he throws in practice, yet avg. 150 in league and seldom carry more than a doube or shoot 200.  Then you find out that in practice he changes 9 counts to X, and deletes/rebowls frames in which he doesn't get 9 or better.

Well one day I was at the pro shop and some punk rock dude was there buying a Magic Touch. He was the first to have one around the lanes. So once it got drilled and all, I went to go see him throw and wouldnt you know it, he throws a STRAIGHT BALL and only shoots a 92 & 100??? Me and my pro shop guy was laughing our azzes off but atleast he made his profit.

And then there are the bowlers who yell and make loud noises when they strike. Its okay to have fun but it gets annoying after a while

Theres a guy in my Wed Night league who simultaneously kicks and punches every shot he throws.  When it doesn't strike not only does he just look like a dumbass but he gets so pissed he'll miss the spare the majority of the time.  

That and the guy who doesn't make any adjustments and complains about carry.
"Every time, flat 10" well you didn't change anything why would the result be different?
