In the USA, if you are getting into bowling, then a mid-level ball (like what I use) would be ~120-150 dollars and a high end ball would be more like 200.

Right now, I'm not in a league but I plan on joining one soon! Should be a good experience for me because league conditions are usually freshly oiled compared to regular lane conditions.

Also, thank you everyone for your comments!

Bump!

Updating OP with my new high score: 279! Again with the 7th frame, I hit the pocket at a slightly sharper angle, almost leaving in a 7/10 split. Fortunately, the 7 pin fell down and a messenger was headed towards the 10 pin, but hit too weakly, leaving the 10 pin wobbling as I cried my way through the spare...yes, just like this, T_T

P.S. I did join a league and if anything interesting occurs, I'll post! Wish me luck.

Ah nice. 279 was my high for a good while too.

2 or 3 times I had gotten a spare in the second and then a 9 on the last throw.

Then one time I got a spare in the third and struck out.

Until finally one day I got 10 in a row <3

Although I had 11 once or twice but across 2 games

Yeah! If you get a 300 LeperKahn will be the one to announce it on the bowling alley PA except nobody will be able to hear it.

Nice score man. Back then I started bowling regularly, and half sober I'd have a lot of great hits, but at the same time a lot of chokes to keep me from hitting 200. Then one night old friends showed up and I got so drunk like I've never had been (while bowling that is) and finally got over 200, hit 219 Heh.

Never happened again =( No good alleys near where I live atm.

I used my B Absolute Inferno. Good ball.

This is making me miss bowling >_<

Omg, my friend uses that ball and it's simply SUPERB.

I myself use an intense inferno, as stated in my OP and I absolutely love it. My former 266 was achieved by my virtual gravity, but my newest high 279 was because of the inferno; I love the smooth arc it gives on your shot.

How was yours drilled?

If you want me to be your internet bowling consultant then let me know. 100% serious.

Zil was a noob who could barely break 100 a year or two ago and he started chatting with me on IM about bowling and now his high game is a 279
