Have you guys seen a 291?
« on: May 05, 2005, 11:14:22 AM »
I was just curious if anyone has ever seen a 291-293 before.

-OR- you where actually trying for a 292.

Hey Goof, I've also picked off the 7-10 out of the 4-6-7-10. I've also shot 286, had the front 10 and then left the 4-6-7-10, and then picked it up.

I just tried searching the bowling encyclopedia on Bowl.com and couldn't find it.  THey published something not too long ago and I THOUGHT every possible score has been bowled, but that 292 was the least common.

I have picked the 7-10 off a full rack in warmup before it is possible the 10 pin bounced down in the pit came from behind and took out 7 pin. I was just shooting my 10 pin line and was not even thinking that it was a big deal, but i guess reading here it is.

I've seen a 290 with the front 11 followed by a gutterball on the 12th.  Pretty embarassing.  I truly felt sorry for the guy.

I am the proud owner of a 275.  Washout on the 12th ball.  Oops.

One of my teammates shot 290 with one in the ditch at the end.  Hit the moat at the arrows.

Rags, I had a nine count somewhere along the way.

I've only had the front 11 twice.  One 300 and one 299.

Seen a 294, first 11, 4 through the face. The best was 297, first eleven then left a lily. Guy almost fell over laughing after he left it...

I think a buddy of mine says he saw a guy pick the 6 pin out of a rack once.

Or was it the 6 -9???

Pretty hard to imagine.

Saw a guy TRY for a 292.  Absolutely dialed in.

Moved super left(righty) for shot basically at the 10 pin.  Got scared he was gonna gutter.  Pulled it and shot 299!  It almost struck!

Cranker!

The first 300 for a local bowler around here came on one of the worst shots I have seen in my life... He stuck at the line, threw the ball halfway down the lane, missed the headpin, hit the 3 and dominoed for a strike!

i've also seen the  "I'm going for 292" shot... Never works out!
