Title: Running it out. . .
Post by: ChrispyBrownies on July 05, 2006, 04:48:33 AM: Does it just PO you?
Should you only do it on the 12th of a 300 in progress?
Should you not do it iit all?

What do you think?
(running it out=walking down 3 or 4 lanes after a ball is thrown)
--------------------
Its hard to play with an inferno and not get burned. Last time I threw my inferno, the opposing bowler definitely got burned.

MY INFERNOS WILL SMOKE YOU!!!

first ball for almost two lanes. I wanted to throw my ball at him. He sucked. Only run it out if it's number 12! Otherwise, have some freakin' respect.

That's right. I sait it!

Little johnny isn't going to be as happy with that strike when he crosses into my path celebrating and 6'5" of 309 pounds hits him with 16 pounds of swinging bowling ball. Seriously i mean i have seen pro's and people in big tourney's run out strikes how would anyone do this in league.

I don't really play cards and I am not 79, but it fits together somehow.

Second it should be restricted to your approach and maybe the adjacent, running one out 3 or 4 lanes had better be to win a PBA major and in most leagues you could end up with a collision.

Lastly Iâ€™m like Ragnar, Iâ€™m lucky if I can walk back and sit down let alone â€œrunâ€ a shot out. Iâ€™m just so old, weak, and feeble anymore I have to restrict my movements to save energy.

Post by: Ragnar on July 05, 2006, 01:07:10 PM: On a funnier note, there is a guy around here who, in the old tournament club tournies, would, on occasion, do the flop. If he was the last to finish in a game, ie, if he had open lanes to one side, he would run across a couple of approaches then flop on his stomach and slide a ways.

Like some have said, I don't see any reason to run something out in leagues - not even a 300. Now I might slap one off now and then, but that's about it.

Post by: nospareball on July 05, 2006, 01:11:32 PM: I had a guy on my team drop his pants and procede to "ride" the ball return after we won the league championship a few years back. Good thing he had boxers on. I'm not sure the other team appreciated it, they would have probably rather seen him run it out a few lanes.

Post by: C300_Rye on July 05, 2006, 01:30:15 PM: I'll do it sometimes in matchplay of a tourney ( I"m a youth bowler) And if you think about it, this can get into your opponents head i mean think about it you throw your shot and with the ball half way down the lane you start to run it out it shows that you've got confidence that your gonna strike and that you got a line and it forces your opponent to start pressing.

Post by: Spider Ball Bowler on July 05, 2006, 03:25:36 PM: I don't go further than the lane caps on my set, but I do "run" shots out. I have fun when I bowl. If you're not having fun, why do it? I don't do it on shots that are meaningless unless I'm open bowling with friends, but if I need to strike out in the 10th to win a game in league and I nut my shot, why not?

I'm not rubbing it in, and I never interfere with someone else's approach, but for me, doing stupid things after throwing the ball is fun.

I will say this though....moving from Youth where I knew I was the best to Adults where I'm mid range....I surely don't do it like I used to. I used to do it every shot hahaha...I had a lot of fun.

Post by: JessN16 on July 05, 2006, 11:52:15 PM: I don't run things out, per se, but I do "drift" a little, and it's not on purpose or to get in the opponents' head. It's kind of exaggerated body English from me trying to steer the ball through the rack, if that makes any sense, and I do it without planning to do it.

I never go more than one lane over, and usually don't even go that far because I've gotten crunched before by someone not waiting for me to get off the approach before they bowled. Neither of us got hurt and the other guy thought it was all his fault, so we ended up spending five minutes apologizing to each other.

Post by: LuvThatWhiteDot on July 06, 2006, 07:37:06 PM: I bowled with a 150-average woman who always ran shots out. I finally got tired of waiting for her to complete her per-frame routine and said "Look, you can run out shots to the Dairy Queen if you want, but I gotta tell you, it looks stupid as all get out. Why don't you act like you've thrown a strike or two before?"

Needless to say we don't bowl together anymore

I have never run out a shot in my life. I know that in the leagues I bowl in, I'd probably get run over by other league traffic
