700 - FINALLY
« on: February 23, 2007, 12:59:35 AM »
Last night I had a near clean set, only left one in the second game on a 1-2-4-6-10 (terrible first shot, sent the 1 around the 6-10 on the spare).  Went 228-237-254 for a 719 series, my first!  I can honestly say that luck had very little part in it, too.  I was hitting my mark with good timing and a clean release pretty much all night.

My team still only won one game, and I had to strike the last 5 balls of that one to win by 6 pins!  We actually lost the third game, when I shot 254, by 50 pins.  The other team was a bunch of 110-145 averages that were bowling 30-50 pins above average, crazy stuff.

I don't know about that.  I had my first 700 last November and I haven't even had a 600 since then.

Congrats.

I bowled my first 700 series 3 weeks ago.  Now I bowled my 2nd one last night.  I wasn't even thinking about the series this time.

Thanks everyone!  I felt like this was long overdue.  I've had seasons where I've been consistently bowling 630-640 series for stretches of 12 weeks or so, but the 700 has always eluded me.  Before this, I've had 4 series in the 690's, with one being a 699.

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one

This guy on youtube posts videos of the PBA
for ppl who dont watch TV or want to save the matches this will be great!
