Title: Your longest strike string EVER?
Post by: LuckyLefty 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!

Don't really take much notice of this but I do remember bowling the back 11 & Front 8 (19) a fair few years back. Unfortunately virtually every ball was flush in the pocket but left a few 8/9/10 pins. Could have quite easily been a 850 but ended up being a 790.

I would have got away with it if it was not for those pesky kids (Behind my lane) and those blasted 10 pins.

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

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.

I had PMd this to LL...
He persudaded me to post it...
I don't talk about my bowling, never have.
I'm just a house bowler.


Back when I was throwing a Silver Diamond...
I practiced in the worst house in the city of Chicago (on purpose).
They never stripped or oiled, until Sunday night...they stripped.
They oiled Monday afternoon.

I came in to practice on Monday AM.
I bowled 3 games every Monday.
I never looked at scores...
I threw the first ball left a 7-pin.
I went out that game for 290.
Threw perfect the next 2 for 300-300.
I shot 890.
They printed out the sheet for me...I didn't really want it.
A guy was sitting behind me watching me practice...
He asked me to autograph the sheet...I did.
He took the sheet and left.
It was practice...didn't matter.

Somewhere there's a sheet floating around with my signature on it, with an 890 total.

Some days, I think about it and think it didn't really happen.
Most people wouldn't believe me...Maybe you do.
Either way, it doesn't matter.

I subscribe to your philosophy...anything's possible, if you believe in it.
I just started a 40 day meditation practice, which is supposed to open the mind.
Gandhi practiced this same meditation for 60 years of his life.

In League play shot 229 – 300 – 279 = 808 with a used Sure Strike I bought from a fellow BR Member. Struck from the 8th frame of the 1st game through the 9th frame of the last game, then left a 10 pin for 26-in-a-row.

In Open play: Rolled 31 in-a-row(house china, of course).

Don't you get it Lefty...it's practice. Most bowlers don't worry about scores in practice. When I practice, whether it's before league or during an open session it's to do accomplish something. Before league it is to warm up and find a line to the pocket that carries well. When it's open session there is a particular part of my game I am working on, timing, armswing, accuracy, etc. So quit your whining and trying to defend a liar and a cheater. Why don't you take Musthare out to CA then the two of you can get married since you worship the ground he walks on so much.

We understand that!  I also know bowlers better than YOU...who have gotten it going and decided to let it flow and gotten into the 40s.  SO I guess NOT everyone has to practice like you!  Or do they?

How do you know bowlers better then me??? You don't know me, you don't know my skill level. You say they are better why? Cause they tolerate your idiotic disjointed speeches? The more you post, the more ridiculous you become.

And where did I state that this was the only way to practice? You are the whining about people telling you (why they need to tell you is beyond me, to fulfill another of your Musthare fantasies apparently) about striking in practice. I just brought it to your attention there is a large segment of bowlers who don't worry about that when they practice. I happen to fall into that group, I couldn't tell you if I had 4, 40 or 400 in a row, because I am there to improve something, that is the idea of practice isnt it?? Or is to go and show off to open bowlers with a string of 40 in a row or maybe its to cheat the USBC into recognizing award scores that aren't really vaild?? In your case it must be the latter. For people concerned about improving their game and becoming better bowlers it's the former.

Yes, I know your accomplishments you are in the top 1% or better in the US.  I am aware of your recent 3rd in a regional.

I know his accomplishments also.

I will make sure I get with him and tell him that the Exalted Jorge....the most accomplished ____ on ballreviews.com doesn't approve.  He'll be crushed...he knows of your reputation...not as a bowler but as a well accomplished.______.

Now for the others that can count....

You know absolutely nothing about me and my accomplishments. Top 1%, hardly, I am not even in the top 10%. Unlike you, I live in reality. I am above average, but that is about it. And of course, you read your thoughts into what I said, as you do with everyone. I never said I was better then whoever you are speaking about, just that you are in no position to determine it. The person you are referencing probably is more accomplished then me, doesn't take that much, but you cannot make that call.

But of course, you fail to see the truth in what I wrote, only the lies of LuckyLefty. No wonder you are a laughing stock, on here, in life and especially in bowling.

1 game: 9
2 games: 11 (4, then 7).
Too many issues with my thumb changing size to get a consistent release for more than 1 game before I have to change balls or start playing with tape.

Pot bowling one night several years ago.  I shot 290, 300 and 279 with the front 5.  Haven't came close since that night.  Wow those were the days.

If a person has multiple team USA slots would that be a bowler in your league?

Multiple regional championships?

Rainmanc....when you had the 27 in a row and tons in practice what did you think it added up to?

Pin chaser had a performance I would have thought there are many more like!
Just those guys aren't out here much.  I believe.  We also have one guy on post who can't or won't count.  Which is it?

As to practice methods.  As a golfer I and others I practiced with had many practice routines.  Swing only practice, short game practice, putting practice.
Putting match game practice, easy course practice, tough course practice.
Tough course scoring grind out.  Easy course mental play and conditioning to build birdie streaks and accustom one to low scoring.  Mental practice on many above.  Winning conditioning also.

It was this last set once all were in place that seemed to lead to

As I progressed in golf I found my game niche to be low scoring on favorable conditions(like a top hat).  So I started to devote more of my time to that craft emphasizing the scoring regimes above.  If my goal was instead to try to make the protour I believe that I would have spent more time working on grind it out conditions.

I believe that in bowling as in golf that if a competitor spends tons of their time on only tough scoring conditions they will often find themselves in state of surprise(or shock)when putting together a super performance.  They will often STOP this unintentionally, if the practice to prepare for such occurrences has not happened.  I don't know if the exalted guru of politically correct practice approves of high scoring practice...but it sure helps whether he will agree or not.  

Often to bowl or golf on both tough and Easy conditions can allow one to accomplish both objectives.  Mentally conditioning one to throw lots of strike strings I believe is something all top hat kings must become very comfortable with.

PS is it possible to be a self exalted expert on everything and still not be able to count?  Maybe?  Note only one poster above could not come up with any numbers!
