I hate to say but I think I''m only 3/9 on throwing the 12th strike. I think I left 2 4''s, 2 10''s, an ugly high 6 count and a weak 5 count last night for a ugly 295. Besides the terrible shot last night the others were at least decent tosses. I''m wondering how successful others have been on that last ball.

I believe mine is 12 out of 16. Even though I do have a wonderful gutter ball on number 12.

-
Still sittting on 24 - 300's.
I've only missed on the 12th ball 4 times:
2 - 299's
1 - 298
1 - 297
Now my percentage on the last ball of an 800 is much worse.

Counting practice I'm 6/7 but in competition I'm 1/1. I only got to the 12th shot to once. I have made it to the 11th shot about 10 times but thats where I usually choke...

Got the monkey off my back. 4/10 now. Bowled a 300 in couples league last night. 12th ball was pretty lame but it hooked enough and hit thin enough to carry. I thought I blew it AGAIN!

I also had 17 years between my first two - 1989 and 2006. I know what you mean about wondering if you'd ever get one again. I've had one every season since 2006, but I'm running out of time to get one for this season.

4/8, looking to improve on that ratio. I know a guy who is 3/14. Yikes! But a lot of them were 10 pins.

Ratio changed last night...
3 for my first 3
then 0 for my next 3.. 2 - 8, 2 pin , and a ringing 10
finally got another chance and got it last December.. Probably my best 12th ball for a 300 I have thrown...
Last night 299.. 1st ball strike, ball gets stuck in the back.. have to wait like a minute and a half for them to get my ball.. bury the second one..
3rd.. leave it inside with no hand and it didn't finish, hit light and left a 7 pin..
Best part!!!.. HAHA.. I lost a bracket to a guy that shot a 300.
so now it is 4 out of 8

Well I can't really say as I have never really had the chance for 300 in my 21 year's of bowling.
If you want to get technical, I've had front 10 8 times! I can't seem to close out the last 2 shots for whatever reason. I'm to the point that I don't care about the 300 anymore, after 21 year's of bowling and I've yet to do it?? Locally I'm known as the bowler who can average 200-220 but can't roll a 300 game.
High game of 289x3 then 288, 287x2, and 286x2.
I have about 125 270-279 game's. If not more.

Went to Kegel today and threw well over 30 games, but added 6 perfect games today on 4 different sport patterns.
Can't say enough about the Columbia Freeze once you "break" in the pattern. Also shot one with my trusty Hy-Road and a few with the Reign of Fire.

A 300 here and there is easy, but 800's and chasing the 900 is what keeps me going. Along with getting on Team USA.

Well thanks to the Curve 5/11.My first with 15#. Didn't get the 800 but 789 not to bad either.
-
Just got a (300) last Friday night using a purple Motiv QZ1.I have had like a three year dry spell since my last(300).I have a nice defined area with this ball.As far as your question goes....I can't count the missed opportunities at not only a 300 game but an 800 series.Mainly either ten pin taps or the ball blowing by the four pin.I just look at it as part of bowling.
-
It took me 8 times to get the 12th strike. Never shot below 9 count but got 10s, 9s, 8s, 5s (terrible shot, light pocket and bad luck) before my first 300.
Since there I have 2/10 - but both in official tournaments and with the first perfect game I shot my first 800 series.

4 for 5. Have a 297 game on my second attempt...

Indeed, I was more surprised than anyone. To be fair, I did throw 2 games a week beforehand, but my arm was hurting so I called it a day.
