Quite Possibly the Weridest Leave Ever!
« on: June 24, 2006, 10:29:00 PM »
Yesterday, lefty took the 4-8 out of a clean rack. Anyone ever see this before? Ill probobly make more 7-10 splits than see the 4-8 be taken out of a full rack.

Whats the weirdest leave you have ever seen?

I was goofing off with a 6 lb. houseball the other night.  I was just using my pinky finger and managed to pick out the 4-8, but I'm RHed.  I also managed to convert the 4-8-10 split with a 6 lb. houseball that night too...

Eh, its the same as a righty taking out the 6-9, which Ive seen several times, so its rare but not completely wierd. One time when me a couple teamates were practicing 7 and 10s off fulls racks a friend of mine just barely clipped ten pin as his ball went to the gutter, the ten hit the nine, nine fell forward into the five, five went forward to take out the headpin. So he left the 2-3-4-6-7-8. I thought that was pretty neat.

Wierdest leave i've ever seen was my friend Joel had the first 11 strikes and on his final ball left the 4-6-7-9-10. The greek church, only thing is he is a lefty. No how the heck do you leave a right handed greek church when your left handed

bowling on a shot completely messed up by the lane machine, it was basically a reverse block with NO oil inside of 10.  heads were burnt, backends were burnt.  the only oil was outside of 10, and from there you had to be just about perfect to get it to the pocket.  i had one of the better sets in the house that day(650+ i believe it was), and had a decent game going with about 5 or 6 in a row headed into the 9th, with a chance to strike out for 250.  I missed right, ball hung on the gutter, got about 55 feet down the lane and snapped right through the 6-9.  it went through as if it was slow motion, neither pins on either sise were even slightly touched.  somehow i made the spare, and i believe i ended in the 230's.  go figure.

My weirdest leave ever happened 2 weeks ago: I left a 4-6-9.  I am right-handed.  I actually don't remember where the ball entered the rack, I just remember being disgusted with the shot I threw.  Then the result justified my disgust!

It's not as unusual, but a guy in league last week left the lilly.  I've only seen this left in houses with bad machinery, but this is a nice house with synthetic lanes.  His buddies made him stand up and announce it across the house, so people could come watch him try to make it.  He wiffed between the 5-10.  The razzing he took was brutal, I loved it

I have left the 1-2-3-4-5-6. I clipped the 7 pin and it fell into the 8-9-10.

I watched another BR member (Belgarion) take the 6-9 from a full rack and then put the ball through the hole again on his second shot... LOL  That was impressive... and of course set off about a week's worth of trying to replicate the feat at practice sessions..  Able to take out several 6-9's, but never able to put it back through a second time..

Good Friend of mine Took out the 4-6-8-9 off a full rack... pretty crazy.  (Lefty) hit the 4-8, the 8 tipped into the 9, the 9 fell forward into the 6.  crazy as heck. left the 1-2-3-5-7-10.
