How old were you when you first shot your first 700?
« on: December 05, 2004, 10:09:08 AM »
I figured I should ask this to measure myself up to some of the bowlers on this website. I do not do this because I think I am better than anybody. I just am curious. I was 12 when I had my first 700. My games were 198,235,278. Then When I was 13 I had a 729 and 736 in practice. Finally, yesterday I shot my second 709 in my youth league. I shot 279,175,255. I was using a Triple Threat for the first game and 8 frames in the 2nd. Then I made a change to my Element Au79 in the 9th. In the third game I go front 8 and then a pocket 5-7 which I was pretty ticked about b/c they were left wiggling.

I was 14 when I shot my first 7.  I believe it was 739.  Then I shot 2 more that year.  I think I shot at least 10 7's in youth.  I joined mens league when I was 17.  Shot the first one with a Black Beauty, Then the Blue Hammer,  Years after that Rhino Pro Teal.

I shot my first 7, somewhere between the age of 14-16.  I can't remember exactly.  When I finished bowling yute leagues, my high set was 765.
