Reminds me of starting out bowling in 1978. I had a rubber ball to start with . Then came the Colombiia yellow dot.. The only 300 game bowled I'm 33 years was in 1990. Was a urethane ball. After 1990 Monroe Bowl closed. Back in the days where you had to have a break along the way to shoot a 300 game. Loved it back when I was younger. Ended up bowling 2 perfect games in 99 plus 1 big tournament win.. Cant bowl anymore cause of injuries but have great memorys!

My favorite bowler was Dick Weber and I used his AMF 3 Dot, and Five Star bowling balls. Later I added his wrist brace. I learned to bowl by emulating Dick Weber and later, standing and starting my approach like Dave Davis and finishing like Dick Weber. I got to meet and bowl with Dick Weber on two different occasions in the late 1960s when PBA tournaments came to Milwaukee Wisconsin at the Bowlero Lanes. 72 Lanes. I think they had the second most Lanes in the United States. Before that time St Louis was the main hub of bowling then Milwaukee from about 1965 on before bowling lost it's popularity.

On lacquer finish with the balls they had the great ones sometimes had only a half board area to carry a strike. Accuracy and speed with 16 pound balls only to carry those old solid wood pins. Now these pins have 2 voids in the center to make them fly. It was a mans game then. Now guys with the right equipment will average over 200. Those same guys would be lucky to average a buck sixty back then.

I recall watching these matches on TV and the way they posted the score didn't make sense to me. I didn't realize they omitted the single ball pin count on spares and opens probably to reduce clutter. The way they format the 10th frame is also odd. You have 3 boxes and there are maximum possible 3 balls in the 10th, so when I write a score I put the first ball count in the first box, it would be either a numeral or strike. They put a spare mark in the first box and leave the 3rd box blank. It appears as though they are against writing a numeral for a single ball under any circumstances because the space to write the numeral is too small to keep it legible. The only numerals shall be the total score for each frame, total score for the line and the series scores.
