I would switch hands, since this would be the ultimate 1 night goal, why not try with the opposite hand?

No matter how hard you try/practice it takes alot of skill or luck (not bashing), there are always machines laying down the pins and to carry that many shots is unreal regardless of the shot. Congrats to him!

No doubt it is great bowling. I'm not a big fan of how many 900s are being shot in the past 15 years(or year for that matter) compared to the previous 100+.

 

It is similar to baseball during the roid era. Home runs stay in the 40s and sometimes 50s, then 60 was being passed on a regular basis. Now roids are much less and the numbers have come back down drastically.

 

That being said to shoot 800 what is the minimum number of strikes needed? (28, 29) From that perspective if say 29 is the minimum then an additional 7 isn't/shouldn't be completely impossible. It is a tough call to argue, but great bowling none the less.

congrats to him.  i still don't see how its possible. i am ave 219 at 2 leagues and sooner or later i always leave that bucking 10 pin, or 7 or 8. etc.  i understand people will say the strength of the balls is whats doing it. that can go two ways, sometimes they are too powerful, because most of the time im getting either tapped or robbed out of a great shot. so anyone who can either be good or lucky enough to do this is awesome. great job!

You could do it with 24.

 

X X X X X X X X 9/ 9/ 9 gives you 267, just do it three times.  

 not even a month into 2011 and theres been a 900 shot............. 

 

id be willing to bet that there will be 2 more this yr!!!  lol

I work at Stardust 3 which is the same one that has a facebook page that posts videos of 300's, etc. I am a somewhat decent bowler. Average around 225 on THS's and about 205 on sport patterns. The shot at SD3 isn't really easy. It's definitely not difficult by any means. But a lot of people think it's a cake walk just from seeing all the 300's that have been shot this year. The shot always breaks down early on the outside part of the lane and if you don't know how to adjust and when, you will easily see a normal 210 to 220 average bowler struggle to break 600 by the end of the night. Rev dominant bowlers like myself also tend to struggle more than speed dominant bowlers from time to time because the shot breaks down very quickly on the outside depending on who you're bowling with. And there is a puddle in the middle with a slight hang spot that will cause a washout or 2-8-10. So there is an area out there where if you get it outside too quickly the ball will jump early and go thru the beak and if you miss slightly inside the ball will just hang. And if some people think the shot may be too easy. Come on out and try it for yourself. There have been quite a few not so terrific bowlers though this year that have shot 300's I will admit. But hey everyone has a good night every now and then.
