900 Series????
« on: November 14, 2005, 02:27:29 AM »
My brother in law told me a 17 year old kid in Fort Drum New York shot a sanctioned 900 series this weekend. Any one else hear anything about this? I haven't seen any confirmation yet!

I see some people giving kudos to this kid, but also saying it is ridiculous that he could achieve perfection at 17. Just curious, how old was Nadia Comaneche (probably misspelled) when she scored the unthinkable perfect score of "10" in gymnastics. What does age have to do with anything.

I think you guys proved your point.No big deal to shoot 900 on THS.Why don't you guys just post all the 900s you shot on your THS and we can put this puppy to bed.

I give this kid all his props for hitting the pinnacle of his chosen sport.
Thats one ring I would wear proudly.

I've seen the kid's video.  Very Devaney-esque if you will.  Congrats to anyone that can carry 36 in a row.  I don't really see what there is to be mad about.

Big Congrats to the kid!!!

I saw the video of him bowling. He reminds me of Mika Koivuniemi bowling style with lofting when he throws the ball.

Thanks,

CONGRATS to you kid!
I could never imagine the pressure.

Bob H. hit that nail on the head. Even a walled up shot will move on you, and you have to be able to follow the oil to keep it in the pocket. Even if it is the wall to end all walls that will funnel 36 balls to the pocket, you have to be able to CARRY them all. Not a single ringing 10 pin. Not a single stone 8 or 9 pin. I watched a guy leave six 9 pins last night. I was floored! I, myself, pounded the pocket all night only to eek out a 708. 900 is not even a goal of mine until I can throw a 300 (and an 800). It may never happen. All we can do is give congrats to those who can. I see this whole discussion as jealousy. It's like saying so-and-so just bought a Ferrari F50. Someone will always say "Oh, man, for that kind of money, you could have bought a *insert jackass's favorite supercar here* and it would blow the doors off that Ferrari". So what? It does not concern you because you don't have one! All of you who do not have a 900 should just back off. Go to a soft house. Go to Revo's house. I don't care...I bowl there! I do not have a 300, 800, or 900. If you shoot a 900 and say it was nothing, then you have my permission to bash this kid or anyone else who has done it. And even then, I will congratulate you because it is something to be proud of...and I was raised a gentleman.

People always say bowling needs to be made more difficult but anytime you have a sport that has a so called "perfect game" you'll always have someone being able to attain it.  And where bowling is different from the rest is that there are soooo many variables that don't change.  The only thing that can be modified is the oil pattern and obviously that makes a difference but again it's only one aspect of bowling that is even possible to change.  Like someone said you can't make the lanes different lengths you can put hazards in the middle of the lanes there isn't someone defending the rack.  Bowling is what it is... a simple game, not always easy but simple.

Regarding what Bob Hanson said.

Throwbot can throw every ball perfectly can usually only get a 6 bagger before it misses the pocket flush.  The cause is change in the pattern...exagerated by the perfection of it's throws taking up oil in the same spot every throw.

REgards,

PS which shows how incredible the human body is.  I've always believed that the truly great...ie Jack Nicklaus...Arnold Palmer actually played better under pressure than they did in normal times.  An actually unrealistic belief.
PSS as a person who in golf was able to do something somewhat similar I know the mind starts to believe iron shots inside 3 feet is the norm and why would you expect anything else.  Then your body in those rare moments can outperform throwbot and iron byron by making the adjustments to outside stimuli that they can't!  If you ask this guy he'll tell you he could see the ball in to the pocket every throw as the night went on!
