Worst game thrown by you or team mate on higher average???
« on: November 25, 2008, 07:52:39 AM »
I watched a 104 on 196 average last night and the guy was really trying, he looked like his eyes were going to pop out of his head.

I had a 158 a few weeks back and still managed a 608 series, only took 2 ball changes to find the right ball after changing hand and speed for the 158 game

I also shot 88 once in league my first year, lowest game by a man the whole season and should have been. It was nice and humiliating for me, but made me seek out coaching and the dreaded new ball kick I got on.

For 2 years believe it or not I had only 1 bowling ball, seems like a million years ago now it 1998 and 1999.

107 with a 212 avg? (I know the 107 was correct, not sure what the average was) ended up shooting a real nice 490. lol needless to say, wasn't a shining moment

I dropped 20 pins in average after shooting 462...it was nuts!  Practically every multi pin spare was chopped. I threw all 5 balls...it usually happens at least once a year.

Last year I shot 700 against the bowling centers son. Next week, I shot 485...lol.

I also shot a nice 537 on a 209 average 2 weeks ago, dropped me 3 pins in a week

I was starting to get a big ego with only 1 set under 600 the winter league, took me back to earth but rebounded somewhat with a 609 Monday night.

Happened to myself last night. I have a 215 ave and started first game with a whiff of the 7 pin and 6 splits and a chop of the 6-10 in the 10th for a demoralizing 109. I had a hard head and thought i was going to play a part of the lane that was unplayable. On a brighter note i made a "huge mother may i" step to the left and a ball change and went 248,235 for 597 salvage. It was a hard lesson learned!

I run the brackets in our Wed night league. Last night I had a guy make it through the first two games with a 213 and a 252. He wrapped up the evening with a 131. I guess that's what happens when you put 700 in your head after the first two games

Earlier this year went 220,then hurt my arm in the first frame.I thought I could make it with a few Ibuprofen,but simply couldn't stand the pain and managed a 125.I didn't even try to bowl the third game with my arm in such pain.
 All this while booking 215..................

This week a teammate who is averaging 220+ had 6 splits (made 1), made 2 spares and chopped one for a whopping 130 and ended with a 560 series.

Not really the worst game but most frustrating night Sunday night with 193 avg shot 3 game set with only 4 opens one in first and second 175 and 181 game and 2 in third 180 for a hard 536.  Could not carry a strike I had so many single pin leaves started out the second game with a strike then left a 7 pin followed by two 10 pins then a 9 pin and then an 8 pin then I made a big chance and had some weird leaves.  The first game I left 4 splits 3 of which I picked up including a 4-9 and a 3-6-7.  I got my first double of the night in the 10th frame of the third game.

A friend of mine rolled a 82 at the Hoinke a few years ago, he averages 200 or so.

Shot 128 in game 2 before shooting 300 in game 3.

Teammates didn't believe me during game 2 when I kept telling them "I'm really close"

A teammate shot 839 so I invited him to bowl nationals for his first time. He shot 114-116-120=350 for team event. His league average at the time was 220.
