I'm 40 years old, have been bowling 31 years and still haven't had a sanctioned 700.  Now that I've seen the direction this thread is going, Round Balls will be getting a PM as soon as the 700 arrives

A few weeks ago a young man from the New Castle PA area shot 900 at Colonial Lanes in Neshannock PA.

Jeff Campbell is 23 yrs old and a great kid. Smooth game, and he is very humble.

Let me tell you it is indeed a difficult house shot (unless they changed it over the summer). When I say difficult I mean there is out of bounds. You have to be pretty accurate to score in this house.


Congrats Jeff.

I heard about that too^^.  I've bowled with Jeff and seen him in action collegiately and he is an awesome bowler to watch.  He's the same guy that averaged 238 on a super tough sport shot when the field average for about close to 300 bowlers was in the mid 170s.  That goes to show you the type of bowler he is.

When you are locked in and carry then any shot can be easy. Granted Colonial Lanes is Jeff's home center so he bowls there all of the time. However in comparison to other centers in the area, averages there are usually 15 pin lower in some cases 20-25 pins lower than what are carried in other area houses.

When you have to hit a mark within a board or 2 with no area to swing outside and there is no area for tug then it is a difficult house shot. Notice.....I am saying it is a house shot, it is just not a THS with the outsides opened up for you to swing the lane.

Glad someone said it.....

Why isn't he rolling the tour into a package if the shot isn't easy?  The best on tour only average 220+.  Why isn't he ready to run them over averaging 240 on something "tough"?

For the record....I had nothing to do with this.....again.


Maybe because with the right degree you can make more money at a 9 to 5 job than over half the guys on tour fresh out of college.

Or because you can make more money winning a few amatuer tournaments than winning 5 tour events

Or he doesn't want to live out of a suitcase

Or he doesn't have the mental toughness to travel and bowl well 30 weeks a year.

Or maybe, not every bowler wants to turn pro

Do you need more reasons?  I'm sure I can think of them.  If you've never bowled there, or seen him bowl, are you really in a position to make that statement?

I figured this would happen. You guys are taking this completely wrong.

MY VIEW: 900 is a big pile of BS. No one should shoot 900.

With that said, I bowl where he shot this score and it is not an easy shot by any means. You have to make shots. There is a place not very far away that had a guy average 254 this year. The shot at Colonial is nowhere near what it is at some of the walled up shots around here. I took a guy over there that averages 215 at some of the more difficult centers around here, at Colonial the guy was a 183 bowler. My point in saying that Jeff shot this series on a difficult house shot is this: He shot it on a shot that is not walled up. The Pattern there is 38ft flat, no buff(once again, this is if they have not changed the shot over the summer. You cannot miss on a shot like this. I have bowled on sport shots that were easier than the house shot there.

Go back through several other threads and you will see that I have stated numerous times that I am not for easy condtions. I think that the ABC USBC or whatever should change their requirements for a legal lane condition.

And the comments about the tour. Lord knows that those guys are a step above the rest. I have not said that Jeff would go on tour and average high and win tournament after tournament. I also have not said he woudln't. He is a young kid and has alot of promise, and unlike many he actually has a good head on his shoulders.

I guess my mistake was congratulating him for something that not many have done, and on a shot that brings averages down at that. Once again....I do not think that 900 should ever be shot. There is no way it should happen. HOWEVER if you are in the pocket all night on a totally walled up house shot odds are you will still eventually leave something. He got them all to fall on a shot that normally takes averages down, so I guess he did alright.

No..Im not going to say that noone can throw 36 good shots and be fortunate enough to carry them all.

HOWEVER...


Let's get real, noone who's averaging 240 or shooting 900 is doing it on something that's really that tough.  If they were they would be on tour, don't give me that "he wants to make more money" crap.  If he can average 240 on tough conditions he would win five titles a year and make half a million dollars.

I forgot that you are always right.  I throw out 5 valid reason NOT to turn pro, and you focus on 2.  

I'm not saying you are neccessarily wrong, but there are too many variables to make a blanket statement such as what you have made.  It is possible, notice I said possible and not likely, to average 240 on a tough shot.  And it is possible, and likely, that you can be good enough to turn pro and make a good living at it, and not want to.
