Yea, I hear ya!
I've maybe gone bowling about 20 times in my life, so I'm far from someone who does / has bowled a lot.
I absolutely love it though, that is why I posted the feeler thread about bowling at Cedarvale in Eagan, so far, no interest though.
I really think I have the potential to bowl 200+ every game with a non-house ball and some more practice.
Being ambidextrous helps me a ton when it comes to picking up spares. I still really haven't figured out which hand is my better hand... So I'm usually switching what one I use between games, it helps keep my stamina up if I'm playing a lot of games in a row though...
