Rob throws nothing but strikes and he didn't cheat and neither did I.

It's really too bad Robert's last set with Jamie(who I"m not sure is the real thing by the way). Wasn't 890...or 879...and if he never told anyone about his practice 900s.

Then maybe all this doubt wouldn't have happened.

Jamie...you see the other guy who prebowled one...did only one!

Now maybe you(if you are the real Jamie...and I've messaged you and don't think you are) understand how a very strong powerful bowler bowling in a fairly friendly center(at least for his ball roll) with lively pins ...would start to develop a groove and a confidence and a familiarity with the lanes...AND a growing confidence.

I understand that progression that feel...that sense...this is where I'm going next.  I've been there in golf and also in bowling I once went thru a progression of confidence building where you could do somehting no one else could think you could do!  But you sensed it!

It starts in practice...Robert talked about shooting 900 in practice...if it had been 879 he would have felt the same way..."I'm soon gonna shoot 900!".

Then he did and it was rejected on a technicality!  Then if he shot 868 in practice(instead of the 900 he stated.
Then he would think..."I'm gonna do it again".  It builds!

Some get it...many don't...it's something they can't get their mind around.

Me I had a teammate come in late...open most of the way till a 65 in the 5th.
Then go sheet, sheet, sheet, and run up and finish 36 in a row after league.

I've seen it and knew it could be done I had seen it years ago!  He did not throw as strong as Robert!

Another time I saw a guy go 9 in a row for 9 straight games in league and never close out a 300(TIGHTEN UP!).  So I saw how it could go the other way.

It is a mental process ...progressed thru phases by a very powerful bowler on a a very favorable shot!

I believe it all happened.

Jamie(if you really are who you say you are) you get it...I get it...some others do...Many Others don't...and never will you must understand their way of thinking!  It's not likely...so it didn't happen.  Others who have been fortunate enough to see things or to be really fortunate enough to do similar things know it is only improbable if one thinks so...if one doesn't belive it's possible...then it becomes even more improbable!

PS think how many 900s have been stopped by the bowler himself...those who have gotten close if asked...will tell you...exactly what happened...
PPS two years ago in our area a guy who had never shot 300 went 300 300 5 bagger and a lady passed out on the lanes next to him...she revived an hour later to discover itwas a massive gas attack(belch)...he crumbled after an hour wait to 836!  Some that were there said he had the 900 look!  Totally unconcious!  Not nervous at all!  They call it in the moment...I've been there...oh so briefly(is is heaven?)

Open the door...see what's possible...and just walk right on through...that's how easy success feels..
