Bowled my first 300 today (Practice though)
« on: January 18, 2004, 07:33:01 AM »
Not as big I guess if it was during league play which I would rather have done. But I will take it because a 300 is a 300.

Did it with my Phenom Unleashed ball. Amazing ball I have to say. Big props to Track for developing such a great ball. Hit the pocket every single strike. Not to mention I had to deal with a little kid running around on the lane next to mine...well up until I had 8 in a row. LOL Definitely was nice having people watching and best of all my friend who worked with me a bit to develop more consistency was there to watch me throw the 11th and 12th strike. Only trouble was since my nerves were so stressed when I went to throw strikes 10, 11, 12 I had to pull over to the side of the road on the way home because I felt like I was going to puke.

Incredibly satisfying feeling to smash 12 in a row. I'm glad I finally beat the 299 I bowled back in December. Now my goal is to bowl a sanctioned 300.

Well took me a little over 4 months to bowl my first 300. Started in September was 19 at the time I started. Turned 20 on Tuesday 1/13. How long did it take some of you folks to bowl your first 300?

Great bowling for someone that's only been at the game a short time.  Even though it was practice you now know you can do it, makes it easier during league to maintain your focus.

Keep up the hard work.

Hey, congrats on the perfecto.  Who cares if it was in practice.  If anyone asks me how many I have, I'm honest and say 9.  It's true.  All of them have been in practice.  It's easy for me to get into a fast rhythm in practice and just seems easier to strike.  Again, nice shooting.

Great job David. Practice or not, a 300 is a 300. Keep it up and soon enough you'll have an honor ring for your finger.

Now that the butterflies are all gone, it's time to do it in league.

Good shooting.
