I Did something I thought I'd never do , shot 299 !! Buried the last ball and left a stone 10 pin .

 

 

 

We were in the the roll off to win this 3rd and need to win all 3 games to take 1st place and lost the last game so we took second place , oh well . There's always next year . Anyone have a 300 ?

This may seem weird, but up here, 10-pin bowling isn't very common. Everywhere is 5-pin. So the best I've done is about 200. It's tough to compare the two though. A perfect 5-pin game is 450, but supposedly it's more challenging, because there are fewer pins flying around, and no pin is in front of another.

But good job. I'd be more than happy with a 299. :thumbsup:

this year i am in just one league where as in years past i was in 2-3 per week.  just got too expensive.

 

anyways, last year i threw a 298.  Left a pocket 7-10 on the last ball.  The nerves were getting to me but i hit my mark.  Highest game and that resulted in my highest series, 772,

Gogmorgo: I've never heard of 5 pin bowling until you mentioned it , I'd like to try it one day . I'm perfectly happy with a 299 , but I would have loved a 300 . If you get a 300 you get $100 and a ring . 299 basically gets you nothing except for a patch , they use to give a ring too but now they're cheap lol.

 

Hornbrod : my next highest game was a 286 but I'm roughly a 200 average bowler nowhere near PBA status lol. A good friend of mine ( Adam Barta ) is though . I keep watching the video over and over of my last ball wondering why the 10 pin didn't fall .

 

89 eliminator : that's horrible you got a 7 /10 split , I don't know what I would have done . The highest series I ever had was a 750 . I can't seem to put three good games together . Good job on the 298/ 772 , I'd love to have an 800+ series one day .

i struggle to get 3 solid games as well and also struggle to adapt to lanes breaking down. I have one bowling ball so I ride or die with it haha.

Lol. The lanes are not synthetic where I bowl , when they start drying out I just end up throwing the ball harder as moving left messes with my mind .

Five pin bowling is mostly a Canadian phenomenon I think. You've got a ball about the size of large grapefruit, and of course five pins, which are smaller than standard. Supposedly it's easier for kids, because of the smaller ball, but at the same time it can be more challenging because it's harder to hit the pins into each other.

Maybe it's just Canadian weirdness. I mean, we can't play football properly either, right?

299 would be great, AND frustrating. To be that close and NO, denied.

I haven't been bowling for years, can't remember what I ever got for scores. I just remember first couple throws not so good, then I could do some strikes and spares, then the last couple balls my wrist would usually give out and boom, crappy score.

Good job , I love the team name lol . I've had a lot of close to perfect games , but only really wanted to bowl 300 once . If I get more great , but I'm definitely not a pro bowler lol. Been bowling a long time?
