strangest spare leave I've ever seen...
« on: May 05, 2010, 05:22:42 PM »
List 'em here. I thought I'd seen the weirdest one a couple of years ago when a woman throwing a 6# house ball left the 7-8-9-10. Last night in league, a guy topped that...

He left what should have been the 2-4-8-10 - but the 4 pin slid over exactly between the 2 and the 8. We even fixed the scorer when it gave him a 6 count, and we saw that it was 7! The middle pin was so well aligned with the 2 and 8 that you couldn't even see it unless you stood on the lane to either side.
Weirder yet - when he shot his spare, he got all 3 in a row. Didn't make the 10, but he got the count.

I tried to get a pic of it, but I'm not used to the camera on my new phone yet...

Not a spare leave but the spare itself: a 3-6-10, and then picking just the 6 due to a spare attempt with a reactive - ball went beautifully to the gutter, then hooked and went between the 3 and 10, picking the 6 without touching anything else.

Did this myself once in training and saw it in league - looks unreal!
