Bowling Buddies: perfect 300, ball alignment

Hi All, this is by far the toughest for me, usually my hand shakes and missed, but i had notice that this alignment works pretty well. I had used 2 alignment point and a 1 confirmation gauge (white dot). Please note this as well, the "white dot" can only be seen on the default blue ball.

Note:
1. Screen is set to half screen.



2. Use the mouse wheel to roll (remember to set your mouse to roll 1 page or max number of lines), pushing the mouse does not keep it in straight line. Definitely not for those with shaky hands. :)





This is the max... I can zoom, to show the very faint white dot, which a lot of players cannot locate.




Does it work for you? This is what you will get for winning the award!


As I read the comments, sometimes I'm not sure if it's the technique or the type of mouse that was used. but none the less. Just written a new post to showcase the mouse that I'm using X7 Gaming Mouse.

Bowling Buddies trick 4: How to get the spare saver awarded?

Spare Saver achievement by KC



How I've gotten my spare award.

1. Resize your browser to about half screen, quite similar to how you achieve the strike tactic.

2. Use a wheel mouse. (My throw is not straight when I use other type of mouse.)

3. There are 3 white spots on the bowling ball itself (look carefully, can only be found on the default blue ball). This is the one that I use for aiming. I purposely aim it slightly off the middle line, so I could end up with about 1 - 3 pins on the left side after the first throw. Then spare the last 1 - 3 pins.

Right, first of all I know this is not related to game, but this is still the best place to share, and I don't think the readers would mind that much for occasionally post as such. Photos are compliments of a friend (Bis). Enjoy folks!

Bowling Buddies: Perfect 300 method 3

This tips are available from Andy's group dedicated to bowling buddy game. I just made it googleable! Post are as it is without edits. Kudos, to those who made it.

This is by Dave Dixon

Firstly pageup / down still works because i have just done it!!, and its not cheating its just ensuring your mouse isn't moved and that the bowl goes in a straight line.
what you are doing is very similar because i just carefully position the bowl a and i then took a screen grab that was after 2 days of trial and error to find the most suitable spot for the bowl and to get the greatest of accuracy, i also tried other methods similar to yours of plotting lines to follow or running the mouse along against a ruler, but found pageup/down was the best method, so its no different from what you are doing.

It took me two days of work to achieve so i deserve the credit of achieving my aim to reach 300 and i can now achieve it by several methods including yours, but if you seem to think what i have done is cheating then i am afraid yours is also because in real bowling you cannot exactly prepositon the bowl and use the same guidelines ...unless you intend to paint lines on a real bowling alley and put a x or marker on the lanes where you last achieved a strike and then achieve the same speed everytime which is not possible due to human error, so therefore what you are doing is not replicating a true representation of the game of bowling. If you wish to play the game as if you were playing real bowls then i am afraid you should not be drawing lines etc to use as a mouse guide as it too can be conceived as cheating!

Most games are designed in a mathematical way so there are always going to be ways to increase the possibility of getting a higher score etc, and as they say practice makes perfect!, luck can play a part of course, but the games are designed for fun, for me its challenge to increase my odds of winning and by working out solutions, that is the achievement not just getting to the magic 300.
