why is my second 300 harder than my first
« on: December 12, 2003, 08:41:45 AM »
I was 17, not near the bowler i am now when i put 12 straight balls flush into the pocket for my first sanctioned 300 game. My last shot i was so nervous my legs were shaking and i couldn't even feel the ball.

I had a 299 just as little as 3 weeks later.

Fast forward to now, i always find some way to leave something. I run off the front 9 or 10 almost once every week in a league, but i ALWAYS leave a (insert back row pin here) somehow. I am vastly more experienced, a better bowler, more accurate, better rotation, i dont get nervous on shots and i execute.

I've had 300's in unsanctioned play such as tournaments, sweepers, jackpot, etc. I just can't get an adult sanctioned one. I've got 4 in tournaments and jackpots.

Its just weird, i've had over a dozen 280+ games and probably 10 times i've had the front 10 or front 9 but theres always a stone 8, or stone 9, or wrap 7, or swish 10 i leave. Meanwhile i see people make completely flawed shots or pull a ball bad and trip a 4 or 7 or somethin. Just gettin frustrating i want another sanctioned one, the unsanctioned ones are nice and i know i can do it, it just sucks

Must admit my second was harder too. I was not even fazed by the first till I was getting into my car and heading home. Had to pull over and look at the recap sheet to make sure it was real. the second I was counting the strikes down
Was ok in the first ball in the tenth but after that I was a little shaky.

i remember my first 300 it was crazy.  It really hit me when i got home and could think clearly about what happened.  My second came about a month after that.  Now im struggling to get my third although i feel im a better bowler now than i was 2 years ago.  But when i look back on the times that i shot them they happened when i didnt expect them.  It was just taking it frame by frame.

my first one was definately harder.  i shot it in yaba and i know i had some luck involved.  i pulled the 11th shot and crushed brooklyn (almost wet myself for blowing it).  On the 12th ball i couldn't feel my legs and my arm felt like jelly.  THe 2nd time around i thought it was much easier, this time my 11th ball was slightly light and i had to swish down a 10 pin, but it was all on the right side this time.

I thought i would never get my first one!
I had bowled for over 30 years with a lot of chances but could never cash in.
I too remember the 1st one and i was nervous as hell but i would have to say that it was the hardest for me.
My lastest one came on 11/9/03 and it was 12 balls flush in the pocket and all the pins in the pit.
A PERFECT 300 GAME!!!
I didn't get my 1st one until i was 50 yrs old and now i have 5, so don't give up.
Just let it happen and try not to put so much pressure on yourself.
Just stay relaxed,free armswing,and throw the shot you know you can.
Good luck in the future.

I was 15 when i bowled my first 300, now just over 3 years later i still havnt got my second. I have had a 299 also, but just cant seem to get all 12 to carry for me again. I feel your pain, i desperatly want another one, just to prove that it wasnt a fluke. This weekend i had 4 games where i didnt miss pocket once. The highest of them was a 260 something, and the lowest was a 200-210. Its frustrating i know, but hang in there you will get another one soon.
good luck and high scoring

With my experience and knowledge now I know I'll pull the 12 th shot. So I stand left to give room and ended up with a 295 (guys are still laughing). I left a 2,4,5,7 and 8. I did not pull the last shot

Sometimes knowledge and experience is not good.

Want to shoot another 300 with ease?  Find a wall shot and play it.  I hear it's the rave.  Around bowlers.

i have had 3 279's with the front nine where i left a stone 9 the first ball in the tenth

my most recent was a 289 where i threw a messenger OVER A GOD DAMN SEVEN PIN. Yes you got that right, OVER THE SEVEN PIN.
