Bowling is funny sometimes...298 with Epic Battle...
« on: April 18, 2006, 10:54:30 PM »
I have had my Epic Battle for a month or so and was using it some but with all the balls I drill it up I was going to sell it.. I decided to pull it out for my Monday night early league and I hit the pocket every shot and had 3 clean games with no opens 245 258 215 = 718. Very happy with the set and the way the ball felt great in my hands and I was pounding the pocket.. My carry the last game went south as I left four 10 pins one 7 pin.

Tuesday night I pulled it back out for my early league and it just didn't feel the same in my hands for whatever reason and I shoot 193 the first game. I was gonna put it in my bag and pull out the Road Hawg but I was hitting the pocket fairly well, just not carrying..

Well, I managed to shoot 298 the second game with all 12 shots flush in the 1-3 pocket, no cheapies on this one. The last ball was a tad bit high and I left the 4-9.. Still happy with the game. I have shot 300 in league 3 times before but its been several years since the last one and I was pretty nervous.. I will say that 298 USBC ring looks pretty ugly!! LOL.. I don't wear any of my ABC rings so I will just out this one with the rest of them..

I then ended up with a 192 the last game!! I shot a 298 game and didn't even break 700 for my series!! That was embarrasing..

The funny thing about this is I would have thought I would have shot my 298 on MOnday as the ball felt perfect coming off my hand and Tuesday it was no where close but I managed to put together 1 good game..

Ok, sorry for being long winded, its just bolwing is such a funny game to me sometimes..

Kudoes to the Epic Battle, its a keeper for sure..

Awesome shooting, don't feel bad, while I was at a college tournament in Dayton, with my Silver Streak Pearl I went...

132
188
297 (jumped 15-10 left during the 10th frame of the second game...)

A big 617 series, granted, I did miss the head pin right on the 12th ball, but still...

Don't feel bad. A few years back, before the center in Greenville, Tx burned down, I watched a friend of mine shoot games of 145, 300, 150 for a whopping 595 series!

 Man, talk about wierd, the first game he couldn't get out of it cleanly and never hit his mark.

 The second game he looked like a machine, throwing every ball perfectly in the pocket and striking at will.

 Third game, I think he was still pretty worked up and nervous, and was again sticking in the ball and only hit his mark a couple of times.
