I think i reached around 200 once when i bowled normal. For a couple years i've switched to a two finger (no thumb) style with a curve. Its not as consistant but it sure is fun.

182, but my average is probably only 115. Obviously I don't bowl often. That one time I think I scored well because the scoreboard monitor showed an overhead view of the remaining pins and the proper angle from which to strike them. The guidance made it much easier for me to pick up spares.

I think I might have broken 200 once when I was in high school and bowling a lot for fundraisers. I go maybe once every 2 years and usually hit about 150 if I'm lucky.

Man, I suck. I think my best was like 130 or something to that effect. I love to bowl, but I hate the balls at the bowling alley. The finger holes in the lighter ones are too small, and when I do find one that my fingers can fit into, it's like a 16 pounder. Or better yet, it's a fingertip ball. Ugg I hate those.

203 with a 16lb ball that belonged to my mother. I lucked out. I doubt it will ever happen again.

My PR is a 201, that was a memorable night.

Bowling can't be considered a sport... how can a sport that the more you drink the better you get

I got a 206 many years ago. I don't think I've scored above 140, since that lucky game though.

We went bowling in the Boy Scouts and I once had thirteen gutter balls in one game. Let's see, ten points apiece, I'd say 130!! Unfortunately a couple of my balls missed and knocked some of the pins over though.

My high is 216. When did bowling become so popular? I thought that I was a dork for owning my own bowling shoes and going 1-3 times a week, for the past 2 years. Oh wait...I think that does make me a dork.

201 and and I think 211. My average is about 135 I think. I use the two finger no thumb method too. Got my own shoes and bowling ball also. I haven't gone in a long time tho because they raised the rate for all you can bowl from like 4 bucks to about 10 bucks now from 9pm-12pm.
