I was told by someone that usually knows what he's talking about that at no time in the history of modern day bowling has anyone ever shot a sanctioned 292 game. Is this true? Where would I go to read up on it?

You can always hit em hard when you've got the balls

Lefties are the only people in their right minds.

#1bucsfan--Few years back maybe 10 or so....there was a write up in the ABC magazine about scoring achievements.  I seem to remember at that time there were 8 all time in ABC/WIBC records.  I could be wrong but that number sticks in my head. As, odd as it seems it can be done and I have knocked two pins out of a full rack.  For a right hander clip the ten off a full rack and the 10 pin rebounds off the pit wall and takes out the seven.  Seven falling into the left channel leaves 8 pins.  This is basically how you make the 7-10.  I have made the 7-10 4 times in my bowling career and we are talking sanctioned not practice games.    

You ask well how can a guy that has 11 in a row in the 1-3 roll a ball that far outside to just clip the 10.  Bowling on a reverse block where there is an OB outside of ten....get a lil tentative on your release open up shoulders and skid one out on the OB and it keeps going right.  That's basically how.

On any of these weird achievements it is easier the more sanctioned leagues & tourneys you bowl.  I am 55 so count all the games I have bowled and figure the chances.  Your odds go way up.  Back in the day I bowled 5-6 leagues a week.

I believe if you call  Cheryl Warzinski at (414) 423-3220 at Bowling Hdgrs.  She may be able to tell you ot can find out how many 292's.  She's in charge of the Awards program.

Hope this helps,

Where are you Phatdon??  I think he has seen someone do this.
