    I don't remember my highest.. probably somewhere in the thousands, but I do remember my lowest was a 38. And I wasn't even drunk or anything.

    Somewhere around 215. I took bowling as a PhysEd in college and got pretty decent. Before that, I hadn't bowled since Carson's last night as host of the Tonight Show and had never broken 100.

    I think mine was about 190. Typically, my first game will be around 150 and then I go straight downhill from there. I guess I get tiredrunk.

    For those who have multiple strikes in a row, do you guys have a certain style that you use? I always try for the "2 finger in and thumb out" hold and try to spin it. It never works that well. Every time I go bowling at UH, there are always these Asians next to us who does this perfect spins. I hate them! They make us look bad.

    290 is my highest sanctioned (on league conditions) score

    Ive shot several 300s in practice.

    highest score previous to my 290 was 279.

    just got home from my sun league and only shot 607.

    shot 715 last week

    (the 600-700ish scores are a series score(three games together))

    Ill take any mutha here

    btw....two fingers and no thumb aint bowling, that is spinning the ball.

    You wanna do it right, you have all three digits in the ball when you throw a hook that hooks 15 boards. :D

    222.

    I can bowl a hook with the thumb in, but it starts to really hurt my thumb after 2 games or so. Bowling with thumb out, no finger pain even after 9 games. Anyone know what the problem is? Holes too big or what?

    204 or something like that, i started bowling a lot at one point in highschool and figured out how to spin it and got good enough to break 200 but could never do it after a while. I hit my prime in bowling real early and it all went downhil from there. I even forgot how to spin the ball somehow

    Probably 130 or so. I am an awful bowler as I have no spin and no power, so I rely on crazy post-bowl rituals to get the job done.
