Not sure score - probably 279 - but I would routinely get 10 strikes then spare the “extra frame” ALOT. Then one day I was able to get over that hump and get 300 on a regular basis

I’m an atrocious bowler. I think maybe 170 something?
But I can bowl that around 170 left or right handed. I’m equally terrible with both.

Candlepin is where it’s at. It’s hard to miss rolling those big balls

245 in 1984 is the highest score on record.

I sense shenanigans.

270

[jerryskids]

Prolly low 200s.  The only time I bowled in a league I was 12-13 yrs old, and wasn't strong enough to string strikes together like you need to do for >200 games.  I got very good at spares though, so I threw a lot of 170-180 games.

My ball still isn't great for strikes -- a little curve, but I don't get much pin action.  But I'm big/strong enough as an adult to have stumbled into the 200s a few times.  

[TBayXXXVII]

I have a few pretty high scores.  I have a 288, 280, and a few in the 270's, a bunch more in the 260's.  I did have a 300 in a no-tap summer league, but that's not real.  Only had 9 real strikes that game.

What do you think the obesity rate for people that have bowled over a 280 is? 90%? 95%

That applies in my league quite well.

[Hawkeye21]

I hurt my arm this year so I bowled my last night of league this year with my left arm.  I averaged a 108!

shhhh. posty thinks bowlers are athletes  

[kilroy69]

I bowl at birthday parties and such. I do not go out of my way to do it. My highest was in the 230someting range. It was a nice bowling alley, I found a ball that had the perfect thumbholes for my hand and I just locked in. Never happened again though I can approach 200 on any random game. However the very next game I will end up with a 97

I admit I bowled pretty bad, even for left handed.  I've been able to bowl up to a 150 before.

260-265 or summfin like that. 

I used to be pretty damn good at every sport I participated in.

That's not a sport. It's art.

I'd guess my average is in the 90-100 range. I suuuuuuck at bowling and only play 2-3x per decade.

I broke 200 one time when I got in a zone while completely shithammered. Like so drunk I can't believe I had enough balance to pick up the ball. I think the bartender mopped me up off the floor after closing time with the rest of the spilled beer and tobacco spit.
