I choked!
« on: July 25, 2005, 05:13:09 AM »
Summer doubles league that I already had 1 800 in (803 around a month ago) and had another shot this past week. Went 270 out the gate, with the last 9. 265 the second game (front 8-split/open-then sheet). Needed 265 the last game for 800 on the button. Go front 4 or 5, throw another split-open, then go all the way to the last ball in the 10th. Strike for 266/801-9 for 265/800......and I get soft and go high, leave the 4-7 for 264-799. Its a shame I threw 31 strikes, but had 2 opens which cost me 800. I went braindead those 2 frames, and I deserved what I left the 5 times I missed.

But, this was with my GP2s...so in 5 months, I have had 300/813/803/799.

It fits my game perfect...as the 5.0 is about as perfect as possible in Ex's hands!

799 Clint, I'm tearing up for you as I write this post.  Excellent shooting, you sure do love those GP2s huh?  Keep up the good work and making Track stuff look so good.

LOL!   Good shootin bud!    Come on down to Rinaldi's Riverdale in Maryland.  You'll have plenty of chances to shoot some honor scores.

BTW, if you had thrown a GP2 with the CG .0000124" closer to the axis you would have not thrown those splits

Showoff?????  Honestly, if I wasn't on staff, I wouldn't post my scores. I do so to promote the products, not my game.

You can't see it, but I am thumbing my nose at you even as we speak.

On sport, I can't even sniff 799, so I'm envious.

Good shooting, even if you did fall a bit short of the goal.

Wow....awesome shooting!!!  That makes me want a GP2 even more, but I just can't justify buying one (because my Animal has sat in the bag 5 months, lol).  It sounds so super duper amazing!  Keep up the great shooting, and hopefully another 800 is around the corner for you to catch!
