Can you bowl a 200 with all spares?
A 200 game score may be accomplished by bowling only two strikes during an entire game. If a bowler gets all nine pin counts followed by converting the spares with one “double” in the first eleven frames (two consecutive strikes), then the score would be equal to or greater than 200.
How heavy should my spare ball be?
As a general bowling rule, the best bowling ball should weigh around 10% of your body weight, up to 160 pounds. If you weigh 200 pounds, it won’t make much sense for you to bowl with an 8-pound bowling wall because it might feel ridiculously light to you.
Which is better a strike or a spare?
