MATT RIDGEWAY? if so I might know you clipnstock. I bowled in matts spot a couple of weeks ago. charles peak league. shot 733 that night. first time in that house! easy shot!

I bowl with him amlost every sat for pot bowling. I shot my game at amf military. I have carried higher than 211 for a year and a half now. wanted to finish 220 plus so I can get my pro card. cheaper on tourneys! lol. as far as exemptions and sponsors I a looking for both. navy kinda holding me back.

Probably not, I think my girlfriend wants to bowl in a league (she is in william and mary during the year) so I'll be damned if Im going to bowl in master's.

Hindsight is 20/20 but we could have finished top 3 easy. 1 guy only had 21 weeks and our other guy had 26 weeks. They were highly unreliable and we had blinds a lot.

We will be back next year defnitely, but with 2 new teammates.

I know Matt, well kind of. Joey, my teammate, is more friends with him than I am. Not that I don't like him, just that I never really talked to him.

If you mention Joey Augustine to him he will know who your talking about.

I think we both plan on doing the PBA event @ AMF Military this December. We already got a sponsor, my dad LOL.

Good job on the 299. What was your set?

I bowled a 699 the other day at Oceana, left a damn 10 pin in the 10th.
from that one time we were at little creek, you seem to bowl better drunk.

Have any of you videotaped yourselves bowling to try and pick out the mistakes in your form? Iv seen it done but never have done it myself. Id feel a little odd videotaping myself bowling lol.

Those are the same people we joke.

If you saw my form you would cringe

I launch the ball around 15-18 mph with a lot of rev. Oh yeah I am a buck 35 on a good day. I have no balance, I stare at my feet when I throw. It is all about muscle memory for me.

I have so many people tell me I am going to honestly thrown my arm out. Occasionally I have a lot of elbow pain the day after and my arm will lock up. I am attemting to be the first bowler to need tommy-john surgery.

PBA card isn't hard to get 190+ AVG. for 2 consecutive years.
Now when you talk Exemptions and sponsers I don't fuck with them.


??? 190+ for pro womens maybe... last i heard it was 210 for 2 years, then you had to win amatuers, unless it changed or i had bad info....

I have videotaped myself. just go during odd hours if you feel funny. I can pic out some things I do wrong. my ball speed is anywhere from 15 to 25 mph for a stirke shot. have thrown 40mph at a 10 pin b4. does anyone go to bowlarama on sat nights? alot of money to be won there. somewhere around 500+ a night!
