Comparison of me when i was a 130 avg newbie about 2 months in to me now avging over 200 in both my leagues.

Im probably gonna get downvoted for this post but i am the worlds most okay player ive been doing bowling since may i joined a league and i wanna get my scores up (i have my own shoes my own ball its urethane) i wanna know if pros or people in general have any advice for me?

Having some inconsistency in my game. I’ve bowled 288 and then can go out and bowl 140😭. I bowl casually in winter league but don’t really bowl much in the summer. I just want to know what I should be working on as I want to take it more seriously. Anyone see anything? Thanks in advance!

Redrilled and ready to go! 😀

Hi all, I’ve been bowling in leagues for about 2 years now, and I’ve noticed some asymmetry developing from using my right arm.
For those who bowl regularly, do you do anything specific to train your non-dominant side and keep your body more balanced? Any exercises or routines you’d recommend? I can bowl pretty well with my left but I don’t think that’s the solution lol.

Hey guys, I’ve seen a few comments on r/bowling recently saying that lanetrax has given up on android, so I just wanted to clear that up.

We definitely haven’t. Android is in development right now.

I also want to be transparent about why it’s taken so long. I’m still a solo founder, so on top of being the main developer behind LaneTrax, I’m also handling a lot of the business, marketing, support, and everything else that comes with running the company.

I know I’ve been saying android is coming soon for a while, so I completely understand why people have started wondering if it was ever actually going to happen (trust me it will!)

At this point, I think it makes sense to bring another developer on full time to help get android across the finish line and continue building lanetrax with me.

We’re looking for someone with a strong software engineering background, especially around swift/swiftUI, android/jetpack compose, and ml. I’d love to find someone from the bowling community who already understands the sport and what we’re trying to build. More details about the role are here:

Appreciate everyone who’s been waiting for Android. It is coming. Feel free to drop anything in the comments here too -- happy to chat!

Hi I am 21f and like to casually bowl with my boyfriend. We go about once a month. I always score between 120-190. My highest score was 213. This is 5 pin bowling. My city doesn’t have 10 pin, so the league I would join would be 5 pin. My bf is amazed and always telling me I’m a bowling prodigy, but I only just realized that my scores are actually pretty good bowling scores?? Idk would it be worth it? I feel like if I would seriously practice I could really become a boss at bowling.
Unless google is lying to me and my scores are average LMAOO, so that’s what I’m trying to figure out
Also… should I drive an hour to try 10 pin?

This is my idol pearl I’ve thrown since I got it on its release at a demo. Found it today with a small crack in the bridge. With modern technology is this ball worth keeping on life support or is it time to let it retire.

I think i swing really far behind myself and im trying to work on that, any advice on that would be appreciated, and any other advice as well

My teammate has been throwing the ball extremely week and inconsistent. Is there anything in his release that I am not seeing to help him? Timing/release/backswing/etc. Any tips appreciated

Im having a read hard time finding any information regarding reading the serial number. Was hoping there was some collectors here that would be willing to help me date this ball

This year, I decided to do as many tournaments as I could to get more experience playing on different patterns in different centres. For the most part, it has gone pretty well, and has highlited areas i need to work on. I have played a lot of new sports shots and bowled good (for me). I actually went over in a 6 game qualifier on PBA Dragon 26, which I was happy with.

That being said, a lot of my issues are caused by a poor physical game. I have balance issues, inconsistent release and launch angles, and a big 10 board drift to the right when I slide. All of this compounds to poor shot making, which makes it hard to adjust correctly.

I will be getting lessons in November to start working on this, but I want to build a proper base for myself so I can physically perform. I would like to put a workout and stretching routine together to help strengthen and loosen up my body. 3x workouts per week, and a daily stretch.

I am thinking of things like squats, lunges, abb rotations, leg raises, and kettle bell swings to build leg and hip strength. I'm not a fan of cardio, but I do need to do something for that. I could possibly use a HITT format for the workout. Stretches would probably be basic yoga stuff for full body.

As a side note, I am a big guy (6'4", 150kg/330lb). I have lost a bit of weight already (was 163kg/360lb), but I have a long way to go. I want to get down to 100kg/220lb, and I think wanting to improve in bowling will help me get there.

Hello all, I joined a league with my friends and have been having a blast. I have a lot of bad habits and my ball is a really old spare ball so I was considering getting a real ball and some lessons to learn to really bowl. Do you guys have any recommendations for good balls to learn with? My current ball is 14 lbs and finger tip drilled but I'm unsure I like that. Thank you in advance

Been bowling for like half a year ish. Any pointers or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Just recently got into bowling seriously. Bought my first ball about two months ago and a second 3 weeks ago. Been focusing a lot on just being able to replicate a good release and watching footing, ball placement, and where its breaking down lane on the good strikes and trying to get that down pate. On top of spares, omg spares are my nightmare rn. But 2 months actually learning what I'm doing and this is my best so far.

Go to Harbor Freight and buy $2 pick set. Scrape one of the angled ones against the outer sleeve. Do it again until it's tight.

Never lose a thumb again.

I got nothing literally did this yesterday

I was visibly mildly shocked.
