My best night bowling ever
« on: November 02, 2006, 05:43:27 AM »
Last night was my Wednesday night league that I have been killing this year.  In practice I started with about 10 in a row, then changed balls to find a different look if needed later.  Then the fun started.

First game was front 3, then a ten pin spare.  Went next 4, then another ten pin.  Finish the 10th for 258.  Next game I start with another ten pin, then went next 10 until the fill ball.  I double dribbled it and left a sloppy 8 pin for 289.  Last game I threw what I thought was the best rolled ball of the night.  It grabbed early and I went thru the nose for a 4-10.  I made a small adjustment for the next 3.  The 5th and 6th frames were very poor shots.  I leaked the 5th WAY out right and it caught too much dry.  Got 8/.  The 6th I had a brain fart and decided to put something extra on the ball.  Got it into the middle puddle, ball skated, and left a 2-4.  Converted that and made a very large adjustment.  I had the next 5 until the fill ball where I left a 4 pin for 244.  That 791 was my best series ever, besting my previous high by 22 pins.  

Tonight showed me just how incredibly good (and maybe a little bit lucky) you have to be to shoot 800.  I made 2 mistakes all night and that was 1 too many, even with 28 strikes.  

In the last month, I've now had a new high series, a 300, and a 298.  The ball?  A Roto-Grip Epic...the best ball I've ever thrown.

Nice shooting!

I know what you mean by how good you have to be for 800.  I had a very similar set a few weeks ago with my Silver Streak SE.  A couple so-so shots that left the normal spares, and one horrendous shot that left me a 4 count wash out that I failed to cover.  A strike would have nudged me over 800 and a 9/ would have given me about what you shot.
