weirdest thing uve ever done
« on: March 07, 2004, 07:28:46 PM »
turkey, 2 count, 4 bagger, 2 count, i don't even remember the score, and a game later i had another 2 count and the third game i had 2 more

I was playin a 20 out to 3 line it was real wet and there was a huge bumper outside of 5, if i didn't catch it or got it out too late it would just skid and at the last second flip over to take out the 4 and 8 for me.

i think i left 5 or 6 two counts total in that set, and haven't done it since.

I hooked the ball between the 3-10 in consecutive frames to lose a match and bow out of a tournament.

Bowling is without a doubt the dumbest, most pointless, most idiotic excuse for a game that has ever been invented. So, what time are we bowling tomorrow?

I remember cleanly taking the 10 pin out of a full rack on strike shot twice in a set.  They put a lot more oil outside as an experiment, and it carried down quickly.  If you hit it late, it didn't come back.  The first was in the 10th frame on a 3 bagger.  We lost by a handful of pins.

I have seen strider go front 4, gutter ball and spare and strike out for 270.

Thanks Zack, forgot about that one.  I also ditched a fill ball for 269.  You and ZMan get to see all my best moments.

i've done that to the 2-7 for me but it was funny how it happened


7 pin, hook by it, 7 pin hook by it. 4-7, chop 7, 7 hook it, chop another 7 off the 4-7. then i leave the 2-7 and hook inbetween it.

that was over the course of 3 games, it was pretty comical, and i didn't even bowl that bad, like a 580 or so but i just couldnt make anything on that side. this was before i threw plastic and the next week i did go out and buy plastic due to this performance

Since I picked on strider I will post some of my own. I to have gone in between a 3-10 split before. I have also took the 6 pin out of the 3-6-10.
A few years ago I had the front 9 got up in the 10 frame went dead solid pocket the leave me the 7-10 split.

2 things..........don't know if I'm man enough to admit, or stupid enough, however...speaking of ditches, last year.......front 10, ditch spare, 280!

Here's the funny part...I wasn't nervous...felt my thumb sticking on the backswing and said "better get it out or you're gonna pull it!" DOAH!!

And yesterday,...nice 4-7-10....picked up my spare ball from the far right,...looked to make sure I wasn't running anyone down and just dropped the ball on the 3 board towards the 4-7 real slow.....PICKED IT UP !!!   Didn't even look, didn't try, just dropped the ball on the lanes at about 6 mph ! lol

I bowled in a tournament a couple of weeks ago and in the last game I threw a ball that was a little high.  The 4-9 kind of imploded and there were a number of pins on the deck.  Well as I was turning away one of the pins stood back up somehow in between where the 1 and 5 should have been.  I have only heard about this happening to people and it was the first time I had knocked all 10 down and had one stand back up.  All I could do was laugh and give my teammates something to talk about for a while.  It would have been nice to see a replay to see what pin stood up.

last night in jackpot i was on a 4 bagger, needed the 9th frame strike and the rest to get jackpot. flush out a shot (im left handed) the 4 pin goes off the deck, spins upside down lands in the seven pin spot and stands up.

cost me jackpot but man, it was funny as heck.

In junior bowling I saw a guy foul in the first frame and the ball was a strike.  He goes up and throws another strike...then off the sheet!  13 strikes in one game!

I have ditched a fill ball to shoot 268.. I have eased up just a bit, twice, on the first ball in the 10th to shoot 2 278's (left the 6-10 both times)..  I have picked up the big four (not all at once) I actually did leave the big 4 and covered the 7-10 on the spare shot..  Then just last week, converted the 4-6 with my Trauma Recovery hooking almost behind the 6 pin, shooting it over and knocking the 4 pin forward!!

After struggling all day on a very hard sport shot in an already hard house, i finally find find a playable line and get on a roll stringing 6 in a row up to the last ball in the tenth. I need 7 pins to shoot 260 and have the high game of the tournament. I throw the ball a little wide and take out just the 6,9 for a 2 count! that was fun.      Also in the same house during a regional pro-am I throw a light shot that mixes the pins around. The five pin falls over scoots over and bounces back up in the four pin spot, the rack comes down and voila! I have left the weirdest four pin i have ever seen!

in practice i slid a pin to the side just enough to jam the rack three times.

Usually the 10 pin, would slide just far enough left to get between the openings in the rack.  the guy sure got annoyed at running back there...
