whats your worst leave???
« on: November 28, 2004, 11:13:24 AM »
today I had my worst leave yet..... it was at a local city tourney. I was using my raging inferno using a deep line, and I threw it a little too far out, and I crushed through.... I left the 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,10... yep,I hit only the 6 and 9....

so whats your worst leave???

I've gotta third the 5-7-10, just left it last night, but the ball wasn't that bad of a shot, it looked only a little high.  And I have had the ball cut in between the 3-10 before, more than I will admit.

Bowling is more fun when you only have to throw 1 ball..
........F*#k the 10 pin!!!!!!

I was keeping score one night (years ago, obviously) and the damndest leave I ever saw was when this guy barely nicked the 10 pin to the right, and it somehow managed to topple only the back row. So he left the 1-2-3-4-5-6. Never seen that before or since. I don't remember if he picked it up, but I'll never forget him leaving it.

My worst leave was a 5-7-10 using a dull Thunderbolt, which at the time was considered the bomb ball to have. I thought it was a bomb, all right - damn thing was a waste of money for me and I couldn't get rid of it fast enough.

You weren't unlucky when you left that corner pin, so shut up about it already!!

I had to have had an off set pin on this one but I left everything but the 6 one time.  I was in a house with wood lanes and the oiling machine sucked, so just about every ball you threw would burn up in the first inch of the damn lane.  I threw they ball over 15 and it swung out to even with the 6 pin then went strait and took only the six out.  I thought it took out the 6-9 but I looked at the score and it said I only got 1 so I looked at the pins and sure enought the nine was in there.

I just read the whole post, funny how that happend to you and almost the same happened to me.

I'll be alright

And make everything alright

About 10 years ago I saw the (now)local pro (a righty) leave a stone pocket 6 - 8 (the lefties version of a 4-9).  Neither one of us has ever figured out how he left it.

Many years ago I was keeping score and saw a guy hit the hole so hard that a pin (I think it was the 4 pin) went airborne, did a 360, and stuck the landing, becoming the new 9 pin.

I'm a lefty and the other day in practice I left a pocket 7-9-10.
It looked flush!

My worse leave is when I am on a spare and throw my ball into the gutter on the first ball of the next frame, "thus leaving all 10 pins."

That could be true C4LAKAT4L , but the CONCEPT of a gutter is more embarassing.  I'd rather have at least hit the pins then drop it in the gutter.

I was practicing a couple of weeks ago and this stroker beside me left the 5-8-9 on a "pocket"hit! Dang.......!

My worst leave must be the 4-6-9 after the first 8. Threw my Ultimate Inferno out 2nd arrow to around 2-3 board, came screaming back, smashed the pocket with nothing left on the deck, gutters, NOTHING, but those 3 pins. Damn Brunswick! Gotta love 'em!
