Title: on or after a strike, what is your MO?
Post by: xrayjay on August 26, 2016, 02:33:14 PM
We all see different reactions on or after a strike. Some ppl look over their shoulder as they turn around and gaze at the ceiling like he can see the stars in the sky. Some pump their fist, or hop on one leg, or walk it out.

The funniest one I've seen is a lady who gets pumped up like she's going to power lift 100kg. from her low post position, she spins around, and slowly gets up grunting like she's going to soil her panties. Then she finishes with a warriors yell and her fist in the air. I was overseas and one member of the Korean team did this......

I start to cry a little and wave to everyone like I just won Miss America. I thank all the little people too.

It depends on when I need to strike, honestly. If I want to get in your face, I'll slap it out, run it out, raise all kinds of hell. I've calmed down over the years, but I have my moments.

Wow.  I'd really like to see that.

I try to duplicate this:


Dale Eagle and Kimmo Littonen have all of that beat.

but seriously, I'd be the same.. slap it out, run it out, clenched fist at the heart, especially depending on how pure the shot was)..

Normally, I'd let the ball do the talking nowadays, but if it is someone who's trying to get into my head, I'd love... just once, I'd love to pull out the New Zealand All Black's Haka and perform it in their face. Unfortunately, the house let alone the league will probably want me to take it outside, as it can be more of a physical challenge.

I just give the crotch chop & walk back... stare at the opposing team hoping they don't like it.

If it looks like a pure shot I may just turn around and walk away before it hits the pocket.

Opponent did that to me once...

.. while I turned around and laughed on the inside as he didn't see that he left a stone 8.

With 600 revs and more carry than Parker Bohn III, how don't you strike?

I don't do anything different than if I have a spare or an open.

Keep my head down, stay humbled and focus on the next one...  As the above poster mentioned, I keep the same reaction rather it's a strike, spare, or open.

I'd love to see him and Kimmo in a match when they're both striking. Holman, Durbin, and Barnes or the like calling the match. Pure PBA comedy gold.

Oh, I know Dale Eagle. He's great. But the commercials just don't do us as a sport any good.

I'm so cynical.

 I act like I've been to the mountain before, and fully expect to return again.

 I certainly don't act like it is something I don't do all the time, or party like I must be the luckiest man alive to have done it. I act like it is completely normal for me to do it.

 Now, with a that said, let it be the one I need for a 300 or 800, and I do celebrate a bit, but I don't put on some kind of stupid show to be gawked at as if I've done something earth shattering or life changing.

 It is just a strike for goodness sakes. It's not like I cured cancer or something REALLY great.

my reaction depends on the league, event, and/or ppl I'm with. I clown a lot off the approach, but once in awhile depending who I'm bowling with, I do a little whatever to get the group laughing. life is too damn short to be serious for a strike, unless it's an honor score, win, and/or for $$$. most times though, it's just another day another strike....

It really depends on how drunk I am. If I've had a few and my team is on a roll I'll consider whoo-ing.

I use lane courtesy and don't run it out. Just turn around and sit down like you're supposed to do lol.

I just turn and walk back like Ive done it before. If on a big string I might smack my hands together but thats about it.

If I am on a string - I may walk the shot out, or if it is a strike that means something like winning a game or a honor score then I show emotion. Otherwise I just turn around and walk back.

The question should be. What is your MO if you bowl a 300?
Title: Re: on or after a strike, what is your MO?
Post by: Bernard Byars Jr on September 02, 2016, 04:26:00 PM
If I'm on a string of strikes I think about how my next shot can be better than the last one.

Post by: ThomasBowling on September 02, 2016, 04:52:05 PM
It depends.
If I'm getting a lot of strikes, I'll do some celebrating. I mostly just raise my arms over my head, spread them to the sides and go "YES", then walk back xD
Like a V.
If I've been leaving the 10 pin even if it looks like the ball hit the pocket, and then get a strike suddenly, then I will definitly celebrate it.
But if I get a strike between spares, I won't bother celebrating. I will just say yey or yes :P

This is a true story.

You missed my era when I used to do the archery pose & shot...  Then there was the time I used to do the Tebow after I turned around to face the other team... 8)

I like to use the Pete Weber line : "who do you think you are, I am!!"

I'm a little shocked there haven't been any mentions of that so far.
