So  media and I have been bowling a LOT since about the end of September (personally 142 games through today, it helps when alleys have once a week $.50 or $.25 games). I've personally gone through two balls and am on my third bowling ball thanks to a pro-shop error with my second one.

(For those interested, went from a Brunswick Power Groove to Brunswick Proactive Riot Zone Purple Pearl and now to a AMF300 Megafriction)

I've been compiling a bit of statistics on how I've been doing, and I'm a little surprised how I'm progressing. In the 2 months or so here's what's happened:

Average 120 -> 150
Open frames Average 7 -> 4
Average spares 2 -> 4
All time high score 131 -> 226

Of course there's other things. I used to be 'happy' if my score as I progressed in a game was above frame number*10, aka 10, 20, 30, etc.

Now it's about 15* frame number; 15, 30, 45, etc. I want to hit 100 by the 6th or 7th frame.

So yeah, maybe one of these days I'll join a league.
