on or after a strike, what is your MO?
« 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'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?

If I'm on a string of strikes I think about how my next shot can be better than the last one.

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

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

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)
