Title: What Do U Really Think U Can Avg
Post by: Zanatos1914 on March 02, 2009, 07:34:32 AM
Reguardless of what you are bowling currently and what they say in the books what do you really think you can avg...  I promise I want tell...

Currently I believe I can corry a 210 avg.....

Not sure if that is a good thing -- 2 high to get pins and not high enough to win another big...

What do you think is your true avg...

190.

And I average 190.

No point in playing if you aren't trying.  Right?

To average very much, I would need consistent conditions, which I don't see much of.  If I got them, I think I could make 220-225 pretty easy.

  Never knowing what to expect, which ball to bring, and dropping down to 14lbs, has my average down around 210 now.

 Now, if you're talking sport/pro conditions, it would take a while to get used to the way they played, but I think I could make 200-210 once I figured them out.  Thing is, to do this, I would have to practice much more than I want to anymore, but I could if I had to.

Depends.  I don't bowl on a THS so I'll say 205-210.

Well my book average is only 173(sandbagging and goofing around, don't tell) But i kept my average at the beginning of league at 198 for around 25-30 games
Title: Re: What Do U Really Think U Can Avg
Post by: JessN16 on March 02, 2009, 04:36:10 PM
Current average is 194. Highest ever for a full league season was 198. I could probably get back there IF my wrist health holds up for a full year. I bowl probably 1/10 or 1/5 of any given season protecting a twice-operated-on wrist.

I did bowl 212 for 12 games back in the late-90s but it was at a cake house and I was a lot healthier then.

I agree with the 190 guy -- I average as best I can. I won't sandbag and if I'm bowling, whether it's in league or open bowling, I'm trying hard (although in practice I may be experimenting hard).

I have to say 215-220 if not for some of the wrist injuries I've had this past year. I believe with the right discipline and consistency I do it year after year.

Probably 195, but then I'd have to stop messing with my release. Which is something I'm just never happy with.

This year I am averaging around 215 and I have been recovering from a concussion, pulled hip flexor causing pain in my back to the point where I could not bend forward at all and pulled my tendons/ligaments in my middle bowling finger.  

So what could I average?   I am thinking 230's
--------------------
High game 300, 298(no middle finger) 290, 290(no middle finger)
High series 804
High triplicate 774
High average 221
best game. when I was 6 I bowled a 158

I have a 16# morich awesome finish I want to trade.  1 season on it.    I am looking for 15# stuff

I think if all conditions were right, I had enough money for lessons on a regular basis with a high level coach, I had time to practice instead of trying to earn a living, I lived closer to a center so that it took me less then 1/2 hour to get to and from bowling sessions......I think I could average over 220.  

But life is imperfect.  I have to earn a living.  I have to work.  I cannot spend every night practicing in a center at the times they have open play available.  I have paid for high level coaches in the past, but the cost and travel time to get to them now is prohibative.  Plus she moved away.

If I was bowling on a tough pattern week in and week out 190+, but since I bowl on a house shot I'm at 225.

I like the hard stuff better.

I dont understand all this polyanna thinking.

Your average reflects your ability on that condition.

You can if I did this

But if I had this

and if they would do this

In the end

"If, ands, or buts were candy and nuts what a merry christmas we would have."

Your current average reflects your ability on that condition. period.

I am pretty sure I could work my way up to a 200 average, or at least in the high 190ies. I currently have a 186 book average for this season so far, and there's definitively more to tap.
I just have no time for frequent training (2-3 times a week, at the moment I am happy if I can play once a week ), and lots of work at the job direct personal resources away from the sport.

Well in the summer for a 10 week season we had a solid shot that didn't break down and I hit 230

With crazy carry down and burnt up track I'm averaging 215

I'm gonna go with 230

If I used the same equipment week to week my average would probably improve.  I like taking four different balls with me each week to try to figure them out.  Pretty stupid, I admit, but it's really a lot of fun.

Probably mid 240s with any carry, averaging about 8-12 corner pins a night currently.
