Biggest series collapse?
« on: March 07, 2005, 08:18:28 PM »
Last night in league I unfortunately witnessed a huge series collapse from our leadoff bowler. In each of the first two games he started with a washout which he made. The first game he proceeded to reel off 9 strikes in a row before leaving a 7 pin for a 279- the second game he had a 6 bagger, left a 7 pin, then had another double before leaving another 7 pin which he missed for a 257. The final game the shot really broke down for him, shots started going high, and he missed an easy spare in the middle- finishing with a 159 and a 695 series.

What types of series collapses have you either been a part of or witnessed in your lifetime? I did the same thing in the mid 90's in one of my Sunday night mixed leagues. For the first 18 frames I had shot 269 and was on my way to shooting another mid 250 game- but then I went brain dead and failed to shoot 700, I think posting a 680 series.

One of my teammates tells a story about a guy in Kentucky who went
300-300-78

for a 678

First week ever in a league I bowled something like 165, 194, 92!  Nothing like a 100 pin difference!

Last night a guy in my league shot 125-300-(something under 175).  I wasn't around long enough to finish watching his 3rd game.  He was using an Ultimate Inferno and lofting the ball out past the arrows.  It was sickening to watch.  I guess I am bitter; never punched 300 and then this guy does it right after a 125?!  Go figure.

It was i think like 5 weeks ago or mayb even longer we bowl 4 games over 4 different pairs but some times its the same pair for even 2 or 3 games
i started on 15-16 shooting a low 194 with a foul on the fill shot then i go to 19-20 and shoot 279 then stay on the same pair and shoot 184.  Finally i go back to the starting pair and shoot 279 talk about inconsistant.
