7-10
« on: March 18, 2005, 12:01:53 PM »
it didn't count cuz it was in practice only but i picked up the 7-10 today!! hit the 10 pin on the left side, kicked it into the curtain, came back out onto the lane and slowly rolled over and kicked down the 7. what a great feeling!

Bowling balls are like video games I don't need anymore but I keep buying them.

I've spared it 4 times but only in practice..

I've seen Osku Palermaa, the young Finnish twohand-bowler who made the show at the 2004 US Open, spare the dreaded 7-10 numerous times in competition..
He took it not once BUT 2 TIMES IN 1 GAME during The Nordic Youth Championships in Denmark..

I heard he's been clocked to throw the ball from the foul-line to the 10-pin, from left to right, in less than a second.. At one attempt i witnessed, he got the 10-pin to fly back and slide all the way back up the lane AND PASSED him on the approach..

He can throw it sick fast..!!!
He could probably derail a train with a bowlingball..!!!

it's all good. i just re read what i wrote first and it sounded like i was bragging kinda. didn't think you were knockin me. that's one thing i don't like about this site, is that it's hard to tell the difference sometimes between whether someone is pissed off or happy or what. i hate that.
