I left a 6-8 on a slightly high hit. And I'm a righty.

Thats nothing compared to the way I got jobbed the last time out, hit the pocket on what I THOUGHT was going to be a strike, well aparently one of the bowling god's had just found the neighbor doing his wife or something. I carried 4 pins, yes 4 on a pocket hit, I got the 1,3,5,8.  It looked like I had set up and shot these things with a rifle strait to the pit.. I was so shocked I just stood there, then had to laugh... worst part of it all was I sent a ball up the left side of the lane screaming at the reverse angle and left the 7-10 at the end of it.. must be what duck pin guys go through.. I swear I have never seen anything like it, I hit it with my cell so I wouldn't have thought I could produce that kind of angle or anything.  I would be the first person to call bs on this even being possible, that is until I saw it.

MC,
 Did you send that lefty to the pro shop to buy some "fingers" to put into his next shot????

I think I can top everyone.  But before I tell my leave I actually had a friend leave a flush 9 10.  How do you manage that one?

Back to my story... my very first ball of my very first shot at Nationals, I managed to go right through the 4 - 8.  So you think with me being a left I'd leave a two count right... no biggie.  Well I managed to get something out of the pit and watch some pins fall.  With my second ball I was staring at the 2-3-7. =( How can you make that?

Someone here at our center took out the 1-5 only and the ball stopped on the pin deck.  So they left the 2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10.  That same night they left the 7,8,9,10 twice.

Not too many wierd leaves, but I did leave a 6-7-10 where the 6 pin slid directly in front of the 10 pin. So 7-double10, lol.
