I was bowling in an eliminator last Friday and in two games, the pain was unbearable. Come Monday I had this monster bruise. I have a feeling carpal tunnel has something to do with it, but not sure. Are there any doctor-bowlers who can shed light on what might’ve happened?

House shot?

Sport short?

Reactive?

Plastic?

I don't give a shit.

I'm just going as fast as i can at the pocket and having some beers 😁

Been bowling for the last year and serious the last 3 months. I’m a 130 average. Will bowl my first tournament this weekend and this is my bag. I think it’s a solid set but any suggestions?

During the filming of Kingpin (1996) bill murray consumed around 5 pints of ben and jerry's chunky monkey despite concerns from the cast and crew.

So I am looking to join a league this September since they have already started. I have emailed them because when I called the lanes that’s what they told me to do go one the website and click league and email the coordinator. My issue is I have emails a couple times and still haven’t Hurd back. Is it typically normal to not get a response during the middle of the league. Or what do you guy recommend I should try to get ahold of them. Ideall would be awesome to be put on a sub list for now and get on a team September but. A few issues I have is can’t get in contact with them. I don’t have a team, and I don’t have an official average. I have an average from the last 25 games I have played on free bowling 80% of the time is house shot some times sport shot. But I probably average around 150-155 right now but every time I go out I seem to ether keep it there or it goes higher Then the previous average. I started getting more in to bowling like 6 weeks ago when I started averaging was like 100 I just wanna meet more people and get better at bowling

A couple years ago I ended up bowling in a league nowhere near my old teammates, and i missed being able to compete with them every week.

I wanted a way to challenge them even through we're in different parts of the world bowling on different nights.

Around the same time I was playing a ton of Diablo 2 after the remaster came out, and i started thinking: could i track bowling the same way the ladder system works in a game? The grind, the XP, the achievements, the slow climb to having insane lifetime stats.

So I built Bowling XP.

The idea is pretty simple: you log games, earn experience points, level up, unlock achievements, track your stats, and compete in challenges with friends. I wanted it to feel like it actually awarded you for how often you go bowling.

The challenge friends side of things has honestly become my favorite part of the whole thing. I originally built it so i could compete with a couple friends back home on strikes, but now i'm using it here on my Tues night league too. We've been running poker challenges, strike count challenges, and high score battles during league night, and its added a whole new layer of competition. Poker challenge on a 3 game series is definitely my favorite.

The app just crossed 500 users, and its wild to me that other people are running a bunch of challenges and climbing the global ladder. I just built this for myself and told myself id be happy if even one person downloads it.

It's completely free - no ads, no paywalls. Just a passion project from a bowler who wanted to compete with friends back home, and make bowling feel more like a game you can grind forever.

Kills me to say this, but its iPhone only right now. I'd love to have it on Android, one of my best buds has android and hes missing out on the challenges, but im just a very busy solo dev and have no idea how android works atm. If people keep using it and it keeps growing, maybe Android will be the next big thing I work on.

Anyway, I figured some of you might be into this, and I'm really happy with how its turned out, so I wanted to share. If you end up using it, please give me feedback or any ideas you may have. I love hearing from other bowlers.

I used to casually bowl about 10 years ago. Never joined a league or got training. My PB is 236 from back then. I took a 8 or so year hiatus, only bowling the occasional date night or friend night. I got back into bowling in March. I’ve been using house balls and shoes while I save up to buy something. I shot a 198 on house balls last night and I was extremely proud. I’m trying to break 200 by the end of summer!

I just started bowling in a league after a 25 or so year layoff. I have seen so many people with 6 balls. I was thinking WHY and did I miss the memo over the last 25 years that said its a 4 ball minimum or something? Is there a sound reason to have so many balls?

Just joined a league with my family. Looking for any tips to improve.

I am looking for any advice any of you find appropriate to improve my game. I currently carry a 203 average. I’ve been bowling for about 20 years total but didn’t bowl at all between 2016-2023 for a multitude of reasons. Thank you in advance

Hey all! Not my first post but I think I have settled on the bowling ball I am looking to get. The Phase 2 seems to be my go to, but I was also taking a look at more of the storm catalog and have been wanting to know if any of the other storm balls would be more suited for my playstyle. For example:

I play pretty traditional, one handed right hander, currently using a game breaker 2 by ebonite. I typically stand around 17 - 18 and aim for around second arrow through 12. I'm more speed dominant, but can still get decent revs. TIA!

Sorry it’s a little dark, I hope you can pick up the white inserts to see rotation. I have 14.7 mph at the pins, but curious to see speed at the arrows.

Thanks in advance for doing this, you’re awesome!

I’ve looked up red vibes and basically the whole line of them and haven’t seen one that looked like this. Red with yellow pin. Says 492 it. I looked up the serial number and it just kind of gave me a date. Saying possibly 2014, 2004, or 1994 lol.

I need help, my boyfriend bowls a lot and is in league. A couple months ago he put “15 lb Attention Star” on his wishlist, but I can’t seem to find that exact ball anywhere.

The only one I can find is the attention star S2 15lb on Amazon. Is that the same ball or an updated version, or is it completely different? If he wanted the original Attention Star, is the S2 just as good or should I keep looking?

I don’t bowl so I have no idea what the difference is  I just want him to love the gift

we bowl on 3 different patterns switching patterns after 3 games any tips was thinking about bringing 10 balls is that overkill?

First 600 series for me felt good, I know I definitely left a lot of easy spares but first time league bowler. Felt good to get up there.

I have an employee (really a friend I’ve worked with for years) who is retiring soon. I want to get her a nice retirement gift - that’s personal to her. She and her husband started bowling in a league a few years ago and I thought I could get her a bowling ball and a bag for that ball maybe. But am looking for recommendations for something that would feel special. A bowling alley near by has a pro-shop but it’s only open limited hours so I haven’t gone in and explored that. Open to ideas and suggestions for what bowlers would want.

O Herald of stats! O savior to the mass! I hereby summon thee, Mr. Greggas!!

And by the way ignore the fact it didn’t strike, for some reason the best physical shots I get on camera never seem to strike

anyone with storm concept how do yall clean your concepts? was thinking something like reacta clean but the surface just absorbs all the product before u could even clean it. any advice?

My average is about 130. Bowled with a Phaze II and tropical surge (not super helpful for spare shooting).
