Title: 1st Ever with a Widow
Post by: Wylie on December 19, 2006, 09:57:53 PM
Shot my first 300 last night!  14 years and I finally got it.  I was using my Black Widow playing about 10 - 6 with the speed pumped up.  Wow, what a feeling!  I had myself pretty calm for the first ball in the 10th and threw a perfect shot.  Then, the pinsetter dropped a pin.  I actually think that helped me.  It slowed me down and gave me that little extra time to compose myself.  Threw the next shot a pinch out, but it recovered nicely and put 10 in the pit.  The last shot, I was so nervous, I hit my mark, but I kinda fluffed it a little.  Luckily it still made it to the pocket for a nice mixer of a strike.  It's like a giant weight was lifted off my chest.  Didn't do so hot the next 2 games, but I was on an emotional high.

Great shooting, bud. The Widow is certainly a serious piece of equipment! No worries about the last two games; it's always tough to keep yourself locked in after coming off a high like that for the first time. You'll stay more focused the next time. Maybe you'll even get that 800 to go with it! Great job.

I've only bowled 300, but I've benched 345
