300 streak?
« on: December 17, 2010, 11:21:31 PM »
Something got me wondering last night, what's the longest 300 streak you have had in regards to sealing the deal with the front 11?  I popped one in on a typical walled up house shot last night, and not even with regards to choking or whatnot, just avoiding bad carry, or some freak accident is sometimes difficult.  It's been years since I've missed 300 on the front 11, and I figured out that I'm at 8 in a row now.  I would venture to guess that even for you to get the front 11 that the conditions for knocking the pins down have to be favorable, right ball, right line, no pins off spot, so I would think that the probability of getting the hit and carry with a decent shot on the last ball would be higher than normal, but odd things still happen.  This isn't a FIGJAM, as 8 300's over the last 4 years isn't anything to brag about, there are plenty of people who already have 8 of them this season over the last 4 MONTHS on much tougher conditions than I bowl on, I just was wondering about the odds against getting one every single time, no matter how good the shot you make on number 12 is.

That''s just like, your opinion, man.

Is 12 in a row from the start of a game the only way to achieve a 300 score?

I left a 9 pin the first time I got the front 11.  After that, I closed the deal the next 5 times.  Then, I left a 10 pin, another 10 pin, a 8 pin, another 10 pin.  Finally, last season i back doored a bucket, worst shot I''d ever thrown for the 300 and it carries go figure.

Oh and to not just be hard on someone and not post myself, i'm zero for one in sanctioned play, left a ten pin on a shot I was too firm with, didn't want to get soft and go high, should have just not thought and threw it.

One of my good friends is ten for ten and another one is zero for six, both average in 220's.
