Anyone with a high 700 or even an 800 series without a 300 game?
« on: January 17, 2006, 05:12:16 AM »
My high series is a 782, and in that set my high game was a 268.  I've had maybe  5 series over 720, but my high game overall is a 279, 9 in a row.  For whatever reason I can't seem to get that perfect game.  I know it's nerves, and when I get nervous my mechanics go in the toilet.

I know there are other guys out there in the same position or guys that used to be in my position.  What did you guys do to get over that hump?

I am right there with ya Clint.  Shot 258,279,235=772 last week.  279 was front 9 - 4 pin.  My high game is 279 and I have about 18 of them.  My game's biggest problem is fast feet.  So, of course, when I have the front 9, guess what happens - fast feet; late ball; tug.  Man do I wish I could turn off my brain for the 10th frame just one time.

How did I get over the hump?  I haven't - at least not yet.  If you find a way, let me know.

806
December 22, 2005 using the ebonite "THE ONE"
daly city, CA Classic bowling center
also week after 767 with a 279 game first 9 and another 10pin in the 10th shot. then second game 258 also with ten pin in the 6th and ten pin in the ninth. followed with a 230 on the third.
ive been itching for a 300 i feel it will come soon. I think its just getting the first one that wil lget you over the hump. It just has to happen. dont think about it too much.

I've had 2 800 series - one in a nonsanctioned tournament (807), and one in a sanctioned league (811). Both were without a 300 game. The 811 was 280-289-242.

The 807 - I don't remember...

but - my high series WITH a 300 game (my one and only sanctioned one) was 782.

My dad went 278-279-280 in our 700 Tournament a few years ago.

I also watched a guy shoot 298-299-230something in a tournament in Lansing, MI

278 - 278 - 264 - 820 last 800

Had another one the year before with a 297 game.  Was trying to get a 299, the only honor score I was missing for the year, came in to lite, left 2-4-5.

Knock on wood, every 300 game has given up a 700.

Key to getting over the hump is to just take it one frame at a time.  Go into the nite with Sawbones philosphy.  Is it reasonable to expect a 300?  Is it reasonable to expect an 800?  Nope.

What is reasonable is to expect to throw a strike.  We've all done that hundreds of times.  Just take it one frame at a time for 36 frames.
