I am going with another FBG, so great potential.Prediction: the schtick in this thread will be epic.
Like Fred Flintstone?When you move towards the line, go swiftly on your tiptoes. Always a crowd pleaser.
Pretzels and lots of shots with that chode.I am going with another FBG, so great potential.
12 oz might be good for the drinks, but a little light for the ball.Ten pins?
Use a light ball, like 10 or 12 oz, until you figure out what's working. You won't get as much pin action, but you'll be more accurate than using a 16 right out of the gate.
Isn't that backwards?I was in a bowling league many moons ago. I remember one team in the league consisted of a group of guys probably in their mid-late 50's (I was still a young buck at the time). They were a stereotypical typical blue collar bunch with vintage bowling shirt uniforms with name/advertising on the back, hair all greasy, smoking, etc... After any of them made a strike or converted a spare, they would turn around and while pulling both clenched fists toward themselves would thrust their hips forward and yell "Bada Bing". In response all his teammates would return the gesture and yell "Bada Boom". You guys ought to try this.
Is there bowling somewhere that has a different number of pins than 10?What are you not sure of?
I think I should take 45 seconds to line up every throw. And ask people to keep it down, every so often.I like to pull out the finger guns and then blow them off when making a strike
It's also fun to ask someone that before they shoot a free throw.I was in a league with friends right out of college. League was a really mixed group, mostly serious with older guys, and another group of young guys we grew up with (we were all friendly). We were all ok 140-200 avg, but mostly the game nights we're just another excuse to get high off our asses. The second time we played against our buddies, the knew we were fried...one of them took a look at me and just before I went for my first roll, asked if I inhale or exhale when I release the ball. ####er knew exactly how to destroy me. Pretty sure I didn't top 100.
damn you, duane.It's also fun to ask someone that before they shoot a free throw.
Or make a golf swing.It's also fun to ask someone that before they shoot a free throw.
My first year of league bowling. I guess I was in my mid-20s. An experienced opponent asked me which foot I started with on my approach. I had never thought of that #### before, I just did it. I was toast for a game and a half until I could get enough alcohol in my to forget about it.I was in a league with friends right out of college.

I do that when I knock down more than 5 pins.I like to pull out the finger guns and then blow them off when making a strike
