having my own ball doesn't look foolish?
-
Fuck that shit, buy a bowling ball and some good bowling shoes. Next thing you're gonna tell me you play pool with house cues.
-
I like your thinkin! I generally do from 145-160 on average- ive hit 180 before. Ive only recently started going bowling again so im rusty.
-
I can't bowl for shit, but I'll beat most anybody at pool.
-
I suck at pool :(
-
I think that's good enough to buy your own ball, for sure.
-
I just dont wanna be one of those dudes that buys a bunch of gear then is all bad and everyones all WTF

fuck them, buying your own ball isn't a big deal
if you start wearing a glove and shit, ok, then maybe they have a point
-
Im not even convinced I want to buy shoes- really the ball thing is all about getting used to a very specific weight and feel every time you bowl- different balls different days fucks shit up bad

buying shoes isn't a big deal either, since you need to rent shoes there every time anyway
-
yeah I dunno, shoes arent that expensive really. Still- maybe ill HUNT FOR SOME BALL(s) ha ha what?

I really like bowling but the thing that makes me not bowl a lot is the fact that every bowling alley up here smells like an ash tray :'(

I don't think you would make it down here PD.
Could be worse, you could carry blue chalk everywhere with you like somebody I know.

If you get it made with the MAF face on it then you can bumper bowl for all I care.

haha

What about different bowling alleys? Maybe it's just me, but I've been to 3 different ones in the past month and they all feel completely different. Pisses me off.

Get shoes, mang. First, you can get a decent pair for forty-some bucks, which pays for itself if you bowl regularly. Second, having a consistent slide is actually really helpful. I bowled youth for years and didn't get my own pair of shoes until I was done growing. I figured personal shoes were just a status thing for kids who wanted to act all serious business about it, but when I got my own I was all "omg, what have I been missing?"
Ditto your own ball. Find an alley ball you feel comfortable with and order one the same weight. Even if you make a "wrong" pick you'll do better just from using the same equipment.
Your average is plenty high to not be embarrassed about getting shoes and a ball. It's probably at a point where it'll be hard to improve if you don't buy some, actually.

Beez: Alleys matter too- but I go to the same one all the time and the lanes are in good shape.
Mandark: Thanks- i'll most likely get a ball- still deciding on the shoes ;)
-
I am horribad at pool. Plus who wants to buy their own cue when theyre gonna be BREAKING IT IN HALF OVER THEIR LEG AND STABBIN VAMPIRES?!
-
The hell you embarrased for? I hit 100 on a good day and there're plenty of people just as shit as me. Maybe I need to consume more beer and hot dogs.
-
I'm psyched when I break 100. :rock

I actually had my own bowling ball that I never got holes drill in for my fingers. It was a promotion for this summer junior bowling league. At some point, it just vanished from the garage.
