Shooting 290
« on: January 02, 2006, 10:28:01 PM »
Does anyone else have a knack for shooting 290 with the back 11?

I have shot more than my share of regular honor scores but I seem to throw a lot more back 11 290 than other bowlers I know.

Last night I threw another one for my 11th 290 plaque.  

What attributes would cause this?

I hear that the new USBC 11 in a row plaques are better looking than the old ABC ones.


Eye of the beholder, I guess.  I don't think they look as good as the ABC plaques....look cheaper to me.

FWIW...if USBC went to 700 series beer coasters....what do you think they will do to the other awards?

I've 1 a year for the past 5 years after a 20 year layoff,
on 12/15/05 I shot 300/768 in league on 12/18/05 in the local area Masters Tournament qualifying I shot a 290 in the sixth game of qualifying, in this case our pair had to wait approximately 5 minutes to move right 2 pairs due to slow bowling of the foursome in front of us.
For me after a wait such as this, I lose my comfort zone of timing and muscle memory that I may have had and its takes a frame or two to get dialed in again.
