My first 200 game

[ratter]

G'day all
Just thought I'd post as I'm pretty happy at the momment as I just got back from bowling and scored a 210 game.

I know lots of you average higher than this, but I only started bowling in jan and started a AMF simpsons league in feb, so I have only bowled for less than 2 months.
I acheived my first 150 game about 3 weeks ago and thought it may be a fluke, but since I have bowled 154, 158, 163, 174, 178 and now 210.
I need to get more consitant as I bowl qame good and then 1 average game. I normally play 2 league games on a tuesday night and possibly 4 practice/social games on a weekend.
I'm still using a 15 lb columbia 300 white dot

good stuff matie

Something worth tryin, try not to think about consistency, when u bowl a good game enjoy it and go to the next one as if u are just starting again for the day. If you keep thinkin to yourself about how u drop ure scores after good game it will continue to happen.

So jealous, it took me about 4 years to bowl my first 200.
keep up the great work

Yeah I remember when I got my 1st 200 game. It was with a 12lb house ball and I was 16 at the time and had been bowling league for 3 months. It was in practice but i was jumping for joy. The next day I got me my first ball - 12lb ebonite plastic. My 1st 200 in league came a couple months later but it is such a great feeling to get the 200 and congrats to you for acheiving it. Nowadays I get them more often and im averaging 199 in Metro cup after 4 weeks, although this saturday i started with a 244 then lost it bowling a 146 and 159. Now im working on consistency lol.

Thanks for all the comments, I'm not expecting another 2oo for a while, I have to get my game consistant and get my average up

 

[Feral]

Well done Mick. \\/ =D> You will improve rapidly as a spare ball 210 is quite an achievement by anyone. Suggest you go to a good pro shop and talk to them about finger tip bowling and get suggestions on a reactive ball that might suit you. Sounds like you have a good natural talent. Good luck and keep up the good work.

Cheers

Congratulations! I remember my first 200 too! (217) It was with a ball not dissimilar to yours. It's a milestone. Well done.

Looking at your scores, you are getting more consistent!

Keep up the good work.

Cheers,
Jason

Congratulations! My first 200 was a 211, and I had the front 6 strikes in that game too.. bowled it with a 12lb Maxim.

Keep up the good work!

 

[Tim]

Congrats, you are doing better than when I started out. Keep up the good work.

Wow, the first 200 game. It's quite exciting. I remember in may last year, 2 months in my bowling. I bowled in a league called New Gangers in Mascot. Our opponents forfeited for not showing up, so me and my partner bowled alone. I ended up bowling 207, which was great considering i had a 135 average. I thought it was a fluke.

My good friend Nick Koumandakis told me there are more in me. I agreed. The next day i bowled with my then girlfriend at Liverpool, where for social gaming, i grabbed a 206! I couldnt beleive it. The next day my friend bowled his first 200, being 225. God that was lucky.

Now almost 1 year later, ive bowled over 30 200+ games, with the highest being 255, and the lowest 200!

Good luck buddy, i'm sure you have alot more in you!


I forgot to mention, I had a plastic 14lb Brunswick Zone ball. Did me well!
