What was your first ever 200 game?
« on: July 19, 2005, 04:49:55 PM »
Well since I'm suffering from insomnia, how about I make a fun little topic here on BR.  Like the title says, what was the score of your first ever 200?

Myself, I really don't know how, but it was a 229 game shot with a 14lb monster smashr.  I think it was in only in December or so, in my first actual sanctioned league.  That's about what, 3 months into a real league?  I honestly don't know how I did it, but as you might guess I was ecstatic.  But unfortunately since it was such a major fluke, it took a while to reach that again, so I was a little bummed.  I think I had a 5 bagger or something, and I didn't even know what the game was until I was done.

So, what's your story to tell?

I'm not sure of the actual date by any means, but I remember shooting 203 when I was either 7 or 8 ('91 or '92) with a 12 lb Brunswick Mickey Mouse ball and a Brunswick (I think) Mudball.  Ugliest ball ever created.

Those balls were eventually stolen when I was around 8 or 9 :-(

It was either '90 or '91 when I was in YABA.  I believe it was a 215 with an Ebonite Gyro I.

I think is was a 202.  Only a few strikes, but it was a clean game, so I was happy!

210 at like 8 y/o, 218 at 10 y/o, and like 225 at 11 y/o. Stopped bowling for 3-4 years until about 15 y/o (shot 300).

Mine was 205(I think; we're talking nearly 30 years ago, here!), with either my 13lb. Brunswick Black Diamond, or a 10lb. maroon house ball(I think it was an Ebonite Tornado, but I can't remember for certain). I threw both of them a lot my first year bowling juniors(AJBC, I think they called it).

my first 200+ game was a 214 when i was 9 with my green target zone. I was sooo good back then. I was teh power player of the straight ball. Launching the ball at like 40 mph hoping to hit the head pin to give a chance of nocking down all 10 pins!!

I can't remember what I ate for lunch let alone when I shot over 200 probably 40+ years ago.

I remember shooting my first 600 in 1966 with a AMF 3 dot classic. When I was 14.

I remember shooting 278 in 1968 at the AJBC state tournament and how it was the buzz of the town for several weeks.
