I recently bowled my 6th 290 game (I never have opened in the first then 11 in a row).
I know quite a few good bowlers who have as many or more honor scores as I have but have only one or two 290’s shot.
Why would bowlers of approximately equal ability. Basically same average, same experience, similar physical games, same number of honor scores (290+, 800’s) have grossly different number of 290 games shot.
Could it be after I don’t strike in the first frame I relax and the rest of the game just happens?
Could it be the others knowing they can’t shoot an honor score let up and don’t finish that game?
