I tried to have my bro teach me the wrist flick thing but after trying it twice it felt really bad so I went back to my way... and lost

Take a lesson. It will cost < $100. Then challenge brother to $100 rematch spotting you 50 pins. Lose on purpose. Challenge to $200 match spotting you 50 pins, with an extra $200 if you beat him. Beat him. You come out > $100 ahead.

Hehe. I like that ED. A bit of practice and you should improve lots; I used to go once a week for a short while in school and my average went up from low-hundreds to mid-hundreds in a few weeks, withough having any real technique or skill particularly. I think with a coupla days practice you should be getting 150s fairly consistently.

I'm sure folks in the know will have some specific tips, but really, 112 is pretty poor and it shouldn't take much practice to improve on that (last time I went I think I got a 120 or something skanky like that, but it WAS the first time I'd been down in like 4 years... My previous best was 208 several years ago, which was wayyyy ahead of my average sort of score, bit of a freak I think).

My all time best score is 115.

bowling is gay. best of luck though!

Take a lesson...it's the easiest way to get better.

BTW, I used to have a 185 avg, but that was in high school and I was self taught...

Lesson is the best way.

Play 5 pin...shooting 150+ is way easier!

Steps 1 - 5 to become a better bowler.

1 Grow a mullet.
2 Steal a roadsign and place it somewhere in your garage. Bonus points if it is actually inside of your home.
3 Wear denim shorts and a sleeveless no fear t-shirt.
4 Drive a 1974 van
5 Have an ass that is the width of the bowling lane.

This gets the average way up over two hundo, make sure you get two or three balls and your own shoes. I hear the wrist protector gives magical powers. GL sir

Oh yeah and a three hundo is easily attainable if you live in your Grandparents basement.
