Anyone ever accomplished this?
« on: January 08, 2004, 01:54:50 AM »
It really isn't an accomplishment, but it was cool nonetheless.  A few weeks back, during practice, I was trying to find a good line in the middle of the lane.  I threw a couple too far out, and they didn't want to come back.  I decided to move left and keep it tighter, but I went retarded and let it go right.  The ball went into the gutter about halfway down, and jumped right back out and got a strike.  The ball hit the pocket just as hard as a regular strike.  We have all seen some weird stuff, just wondering if anyone has seen/done this one?

I've never put a ball into the gutter and brought it out, but earlier this season in practice someone went for a 10pin and it hit hard enough to pop out about 3/4 the way down the channel.  I was next up so I threw at it to clear it and I hit the pin with my ball and the ball deflected back into the pocket for a strike.  I call it my 11 pin strike.

I've done it. But if you hit the gutter as much as I do, you just kinda expect weird things to happen like that. It actually happened during league, the other team got such a kick out of it they were gonna let me keep the score on the board, but I erased it anyway.

One time I hit the gutter so hard the ball hopped over the divider into the other lane's gutter. when it came back it had a split from the finger down towards the thumb. Yet another ball ruined by me bad throw and awesome power!!! lol

I was bowling in a youth/adult league with my mom prolly 8 years ago and a women in the league's ball bounced out of the gutter on her lane and onto the next lane for a strike.  I didn't believe what i saw.

 Just before Christmas while playing in
 my Sunday league I left a 6-7 split and
 decided to try to spare it instead of just taking
 a single pin,my aim being slightly off I
 guttered the ball which then bounced out  
 hit the 6 perfectly so it took out the 7,
 not that it counted but it was fun to watch
