I think I rolled a 420-something once last season.  It was an awesome night, plain and simple.  

I think we won 5 points too, haha.  5/21 that is

Barely cleared 420 at then-ABC Nationals. Shot low 440's one day in an afternoon traveling league and drove up to bowl states that evening and shot 655 (it was the reassuring self help talk during the drive).

I also "intentionally" shot in the 380's during a make up in a handicap league using house shoes and house ball. Some friends of mine got burned by a team using a guy with 40-50 pins per game shooting 220's each game and wanted to make a point the next time they bowled. The other team knew after about 4 balls of practice that my 128 average was a sham. I threw one game of 225 with close to 80 pins of cap and they had me "retire" for the evening with there point being made. The other team went down and complained to the league president who came down and thought that turn about was fair play and told them to shut up and take it like men. All of us decided that having me "retire" from league play after one game would make their point and they voted on a handicap max at the end of the season.

Since moving to adults I shot a 459 last night when Ive been averaging right about 200 this year... the left lane the oiler was messing up and not putting out a good amount of oil and I was an easy 10 boards left on this lane from the start then the right and I threw EVERY line I could fathom and struggled to get the pins to tip ended up just rolling my natural for game 2 ringing 10s annd splits and god knows what else then last game switched to my xxxl and had to hang it out over the gutter to keep it in the pocket.... I dont think I had 3 in a row all night enough said lol....

399 on sport conditions.  I couldn't find the pocket to save my neck.

My lowest sanctioned game is a 96.  Shot that in my first year of league play some 18 years ago...

We had a guy last year bowl a 186 series with a (18) in the second game. I get mad when I bowl a 186 in any game

Since becoming a "real" (i.e., adult, with lessons) bowler? Well, it took me three tries to get out of the 300s the first time we bowled on Cheetah.

Also, about six years ago our state tournament was in Birmingham. I shot 455 in early shift for team, and I went in the pro shop between the sets. My friend Randy, who runs the shop, asks me how I did, and I said, "Randy, I shot 455. Can you believe that? I promise you one thing -- I'm not going to shoot 455 again!"

And I didn't. I shot 437 for my second set.

Throwing Lane 1?  Just curious......
--------------------
GetOffMe10Pin

Starting 5:
1. Hammer Cherry Vibe
2. Raw Hammer Psycho
3. Raw Hammer Burn
4. Columbia 300 Rival
5. Columbia 300 Blackberry Burst White Dot

Bench:
1. Ebonite NVD
2. Ebonite Complete NV
3. Ebonite Bash (purple/gold)


Nope, mostly Storm with one Visionary ball (Blue Sparkle Gryphon) mixed in. I know I used my X-Factor for those two sets but I can't remember the third and fourth balls I brought. They were probably one of the El Nino series and maybe an original Thunder -- which means two of my personal top ten balls of all time (X-Factor, Thunder) were used during that set. We call that "operator error" around these parts.

Now that I think about it, I've never shot below average for an entire tournament while throwing primarily Lane #1. I'm mostly using 900Global now, though.

Dang, looks like I ain't the only one to start out struggling this season.

First week, I shoot 466, second week, I figured no where to go but up...wrong threw a 432

Over the summer I worked on freeing up my arm swing and having better balance at the line...

Now, I'm hitting my marks much better and my speed is up 2-3 mph and I'm getting ALL kinds of under/over.

Think I gotta change the surface grit on my equipment...
