Bowling w/ my Brunswick Slingshot

[HobbyBowler]

Armswing is much to high

[irishpogi]

I am considering getting the slingshot for shorter patterns such as the cheetah. I do think this ball would be great for bowling nationals during the final doubles/singles squad prior to re-oiling for team event.

[MIJX15]

@irishpogi I would definitely recommend it. I used it to qualify for Jr. Gold last season when we bowled on the Cheetah. and best of luck at nationals. I think my mother will be going again this year.

[crepingdeath2]

i got the slingshot yesterday before my league started and first game shot 300 this is a great ball for the price

[MIJX15]

@crepingdeath2 That is AWESOME. Congratulations!!!

[wowilikepielol]

im 14 ave 195 300$

[MIJX15]

@wowilikepielol What do you have now? and do you bowl on any sports patterns?

[MrMunjaro]

hey there, i started bowling frequently about 6 months ago, i average about 120 so im pretty shit, and im looking for something to improve my game a lil bit. I'm 14 years of age, i use about a 12 now, price max is $100, I'm a right handed hook bowler, on regularly oiled lanes, any ideas? i will be very grateful thanks.

[MIJX15]

@MrMunjaro What do you have now? I would recommend something such as a the slingshot or maybe the karma by brunswick.

[tototnakin]

Slingshot or storm tropical? Any thoughts?

[MIJX15]

@tototnakin both are fairly similar. i would recommend the tropical storm. I have both and i think that the storm has more carry.

[BumbleBear101]

alright thanks

[BumbleBear101]

im 13 average about 145 around $180

[MIJX15]

@BumbleBear101 Hmmm...I would suggest something like the Freeze or the or the Avalanche.

[BumbleBear101]

so im looking for a new ball what would you recomend?

[MIJX15]

@BumbleBear101 What is your avg. and you price range?

[BumbleBear101]

i bought a sling shot and i like it so far .

do u like yours?

[MIJX15]

@BumbleBear101 It does well when I use it. Sometimes i don't get as much carry as I would like but it hits hard for a low performance line.

[masterchiefb11]

nice curve

[happybuttface99]

I am looking into that. I am a junior bowler and I have been bowling for 7 years. I bowl at the alley owned by Tom Crites. He is my bowling coach and has taught me everything there is to know about bowling.

[MIJX15]

@happybuttface99 It's good to hear you have a coach. I've never heard of him but im sure he runs a great center. I am a coach as well, Bronze Certified. This is my elventh season of bowling.

[happybuttface99]

i bowl in a junior league and i got a 250 game with my slingshot. It weighs fifteen pounds and i throw a tropical storm for my spare ball

[MIJX15]

@happybuttface99 That is a very respectable score. Good to hear that it is working out for you. Just a suggestion, you might want to invest in a plastic spare ball. Keep up the good work :)

[pbtech23]

@happybuttface99 i agree with the other guy. a tropical storm or any of storms line is an agressive ball and if ur right handed those ten pins get alot easier with plastic cuz i have trouble with getting one of my strike balls to the 10 pin

[happybuttface99]

@pbtech23 Very true i am just looking into maybe a 14 pound t-zone for my spare ball any sugggestions?

[pbtech23]

@happybuttface99 yeah that will work. any plastic ball will work and they range from 60 bucks to 120 but there is no reason to spend 0ver 100 dollars on a plastic ball.

[happybuttface99]

@pbtech23 Definatly what DO you throw for your spare ball

[pbtech23]

@happybuttface99 i throw a shrek viz a ball actually lol. it does the job

[sneakerkid82393]

i just bought the same ball, and i also throw a 14

dude your follow through is amazing

im just starting my 2nd year bowling and ive already had a 199 game

what would you recommend as a good pickup ball?

[MIJX15]

@sneakerkid82393 Thank you. A good spare ball would be anything like that of a Tzone, or a White Dot. But most any plastic ball would be good. It's good to hear that you are invested in strengthening your game. Keep up the good work.

[tsquare0077]

nice roll. whats your layout? im gettin a slingshot soon too and wondering if i should drill pin up or down.

[MIJX15]

@tsquare0077 THank you. Mine is drilled pin under the fingers in between. But i would recommend you speak with someone at your proshop about your release to decide. Remember that it is a dry lane ball. Good Luck.

[tsquare0077]

@MIJX15 yea for sure ill definitely consult my coach before i have him drill it. he should still have my pap on file. im a 2 hander and thinking about drilling this ball pin up to use on dry lanes.

[NJFire1906]

im 11, throw a 14 and i just entered my second year of bowling. my high game is 203. is that good?

[MIJX15]

@NJFire1906 That is very good. Keep up the good work :)

[Challenger77]

what weight do you throw??? and how long have you been bowling? you have a very smooth style in terms of releas and follow through keep up the good work you may be a pro some day.

[MIJX15]

@Challenger77 I throw 14 pounds. This will be my eleventh season of bowling. 8th of bowling competitively. and Thank you. That means alot.

[liltvb14]

[italianking91]

[MIJX15]
