204. I average 150 but I cannot break 200. I can get close but I've only done it one damn time.

235. Once.... Miracles happen.

Hadn't bowled in years. Then at age 66 my family decided it would be fun for all of us to hit the lanes. I made it through about three frames. Then my 4 year old grandson decided it would be a good idea to run down the lane toward the pins. I "ran" after him. Of course, with the lanes being slick as hell, I fell on my ass slid ten feet caught my leg in the gutter and limped around for three weeks. DIL was right behind me. It was like a car wreck. End of "career". If only there had been video, it would have gone viral.

I had a 650 set in league play about 40 years ago.
But my high game in that set was a 253…..

My Dad was a huge bowling guy.
Always had his own team in two leagues a week.
Won a few team tournaments and a few double tournaments.
Rolls the classic finger tip arc.
Went to the Hoinke classic every year in team, singles and doubles.
Carried a 209 average in his prime.
He’s in the local Hall of Fame.

I could never master that finger tip grip and get that classic pocket hot time after time.

Once I went on the Navy, I’ve probably gone into an alley 5 times in the last 40 years.

I absolutely know nothing of what you mentioned here.

All kidding aside, 150 average isn’t bad. Do you still go regularly with your church’s youth group? I’m more like…

Ive bowled like 2 times since the 1980's, but in the 80's bowled quite a bit socially, also a little bit in the Army with buddies in the early 90's (usually alot of alcohol involved). Never could put any spin on the ball so was a edge lane to sweet spot straight line thrower, probably averaged around 160 with my best being 235. I would occasionally have a "good" game above 200 but was wildly inconsistent. Never took it seriously though, all for shyts and giggles.

I used to bowl regularly (had a work league that was fun) but don't anymore. I'm a straight baller so there's a very low ceiling.

My best game was low 200’s, somewhere in the 205 range. I had a Turkey in that game (all the knowledgeable bowlers will know what this is) and managed quite a few other good rolls.
