Your longest strike string EVER?
« on: September 04, 2008, 01:29:02 AM »
League, Practice, Warmup and league, warmup and unsanctioned tournament, warmup and tourney?  What is your longest string.

I throw a slow rolling wimpy strike ball(compared to some of the powerhouses out here) that loves to ring corners.

19, and twice in tournaments 25 of the first 27 throws(including warmup).


REgards,

PS I have several friends who've gone into the low 30s and another friend well up in to the 40s!  Practice of course!

Did you finish practice with 4 or 5 in a row and then throw 20 in the games?

ME....I went 9 in a row to finish practice in one of my 25 of 27s.

Count that too! Ok!

REgards,

No practice shots included.  I'm lucky to get 2-3 shots in practice.

Go back 8 for 244, 300, then front 8 for 255.  nice 799 with 28 in a row.

Also had front 21 enroute to an 823.  Not sure how many I had in practice,  might have been 4 ror 5, so 26 if you count those, but anything in practice shouldn't count.

Have seen back-to-back 300s, but not sure of the total.

Practice (with the family on a Sunday afternoon), single lane:

17 (last 5 to finish the first game of 180), then a 300.  My wife and stepkids said I was jumping around like a little kid.  

I decided that was enough that day

Back 10, 300, front 5.  With a Black Angle, changing pairs after every game in a tournament.  Not PBA though, dang!  (27)

I am ashamed. But I guess its normal since I JUSTT started hooking the ball with three fingers(I used to throw straight, and then I would mess around with two fingers, then I taught myself how to use three fingers) for like a year and a half.

But my max is prob 6-8.

16, I think.  Hard to remember the times I've thrown long strings of strikes in practice.
