What types of series collapses have you either been a part of or witnessed in your lifetime? I did the same thing in the mid 90's in one of my Sunday night mixed leagues. For the first 18 frames I had shot 269 and was on my way to shooting another mid 250 game- but then I went brain dead and failed to shoot 700, I think posting a 680 series.

Anyway, last spring, in week 34 of 36 in our Triples League, with our team perched on clinching the whole kit and kaboodle with a whole 2 weeks to go, he comes out on fire with back-to-back 300's. Absolute no-doubters!!!! Then 4-9, 4-9, stone 9, 7-10, 4-9, 9-10 (yes, 9-10), dutch sheet to go 154-ish for a 754 series.
He will never live that one down.

And now for "THE REST OF THE STORY"
"I'm on fire" I was thinking and as I began the next game with my 24th in a row...my girlfriend was talking to a friend of hers, and I heard her say "Oh yeah, all he needs is 210 for 800...he can do that with his eyes closed". Next frame, good shot 4-9 split. Next frame 10 pin...Whiff! Make an adjustment on the 4-9...8-10. I did strike out in the tenth to somewhat salvage a good set for 172, and 762 series, but sometimes I when I am mad at her to this day, I can still her saying that in my head. She wonders why I don't want to get married...lol.

Sometime in the mid 80's, I was playing on a walled up, short oil shot. I shot 297, 279 and started the last game with the first 5 and didn't shoot 800. I was playing the first or second board and tossed it in the ditch.
It was our last night of league and everyone was having a good time.....at my expense

- I've seen a 600 series without a 200 game (300 first game).
- Last week one of my team-mates goes 263-300-198. But it was his first sanctioned 300 and once he got tapped he lost his confidence / mental game
- Few weeks ago another guy in my league goes 300-268-191. Had the whole lane and a great ball reaction, but couldn't keep his mind in the shots after he started leaving ringing 10's. Just didn't make the right adjustment and after he flagged one in the 3rd game it was all down hill. The next shot he said his thumb stuck (5 count - faced headpin) but it looked like he *really* hit up on the shot.
I know that I've lost the shot on various nights / games too...but that's why 800's are so hard to hit.

Agreed. Last night went 135-256-233. Could hit the blind side of a barn the first game..had a beer, settled down and the lanes played to me..then couldn't miss. The 233 was with a hole otherwise it would have been back to back 250's...623 total..

gain.
I was using my brand new Intense Inferno. Couldn't find
a line and shot a 160. Found a line and then shot 225
then in the third game had front 9 and left the 5-10.
Only got the 5 for a 266. So it went like:
160,225,266
Increased by 106 pins in that series. Shot a 651. Only
needed a 209 the first game for a 700.
