1) How good do you have to be to join a rec league?

2) What is the standard operating procedure for joining one?

3) Is it typically a lot cheaper per game to bowl in a league compared to doing it during open bowling?

[/ QUOTE ]

1. Anyone can join.
2. Go in to any Bowling center, ask for leagues looking for individual bowlers, and join a team. Really easy.
3. No. It typically costs $10-18 a night to bowl in them, but a good portion of that goes to a prize pool for the end of the year. You will often get reduced price bowling for being in a league though, and you will usually improve as a result of being in a league too. OFten,, you will have teammates who are pretty good who can give you tips on your game.

Kid at my school who owns his own ball, shoes etc. shot a 19. I have never laughed so hard.

[/ QUOTE ]

There was this family bowling next to us today who had their own balls, shoes, towels, gloves, etc. They were all awful. I think their best score was like an 80. I didn't understand it. The dad had correct form it looked like but he just kept guttering it.

This is why I want to wait until I can break 170 consistently before I get my own equipment. I don't want to look like an idiot and get shown up by people who don't have it.

It will be much easier to break 170 with a custom fit resin surface ball. I also find it somewhat comforting to know that nobody else has worn the same shoes.

Go to a bowling alley and ask if they have any single spots or team spots in a league. Summer leagues are all starting about now.

League is a little more expensive but you get money back at the end of the year. Not to mention weekly jackpots but you are aways from that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Also at most places during the summer you get a free game of bowling to use whenever you want for every game you bowl in the league so its 2 for 1. They try to do this because a lot of regular league bowlers (like myself) take the summers off as a break from bowling. This gets them more business.

I think my record was 16. You would think my arm hurt afterwards. It did't. It was my ass that hurt from squatting so long.

I don't squat before I start my delivery.

That could be a mistake.

Do you bend your knees when you deliver? I don't squat too much at the beginning, but I think the delivery is what did me in.

You are wasting your time and money by practicing without your own ball.
