I think I shot about a 480 for the first three games on the Cheetah pattern one night in my PBA Experience league. Everything was either a split or washout, there was no in-between. The lowest I can remember shooting on a house shot is probably around a 520 or so.

Also, about six years ago our state tournament was in Birmingham. I shot 455 in early shift for team, and I went in the pro shop between the sets. My friend Randy, who runs the shop, asks me how I did, and I said, "Randy, I shot 455. Can you believe that? I promise you one thing -- I'm not going to shoot 455 again!"
And I didn't. I shot 437 for my second set.

I also "intentionally" shot in the 380's during a make up in a handicap league using house shoes and house ball. Some friends of mine got burned by a team using a guy with 40-50 pins per game shooting 220's each game and wanted to make a point the next time they bowled. The other team knew after about 4 balls of practice that my 128 average was a sham. I threw one game of 225 with close to 80 pins of cap and they had me "retire" for the evening with there point being made. The other team went down and complained to the league president who came down and thought that turn about was fair play and told them to shut up and take it like men. All of us decided that having me "retire" from league play after one game would make their point and they voted on a handicap max at the end of the season.

My lowest sanctioned game is a 96. Shot that in my first year of league play some 18 years ago...

Since becoming a "real" (i.e., adult, with lessons) bowler? Well, it took me three tries to get out of the 300s the first time we bowled on Cheetah.

Throwing Lane 1? Just curious......
--------------------
GetOffMe10Pin
Starting 5:
1. Hammer Cherry Vibe
2. Raw Hammer Psycho
3. Raw Hammer Burn
4. Columbia 300 Rival
5. Columbia 300 Blackberry Burst White Dot
Bench:
1. Ebonite NVD
2. Ebonite Complete NV
3. Ebonite Bash (purple/gold)
Nope, mostly Storm with one Visionary ball (Blue Sparkle Gryphon) mixed in. I know I used my X-Factor for those two sets but I can't remember the third and fourth balls I brought. They were probably one of the El Nino series and maybe an original Thunder -- which means two of my personal top ten balls of all time (X-Factor, Thunder) were used during that set. We call that "operator error" around these parts.
Now that I think about it, I've never shot below average for an entire tournament while throwing primarily Lane #1. I'm mostly using 900Global now, though.

First week, I shoot 466, second week, I figured no where to go but up...wrong threw a 432
Over the summer I worked on freeing up my arm swing and having better balance at the line...
Now, I'm hitting my marks much better and my speed is up 2-3 mph and I'm getting ALL kinds of under/over.
Think I gotta change the surface grit on my equipment...
