dead flush...no doubt about it.
also, having a flying messenger on a 10 pin to shoot a 300 was very nice.

I like the light pocket hits. Where the people I bowl against just shake there head thinking I threw a bad ball

Flush in the rack, five pin into the seven as the last to fall, for my first 300 game ever.

I quite like the tommahawk ten where the 6 goes to the side and just leans on the 10 and the strikes where the six pin wraps around the ten and kicks it out and shots where the 5 just takes out the 7 and then you have a messenger coming for the 10
Title: Re: your favourite strike?
Post by: Beef STL on June 13, 2009, 04:40:30 PM
I always love the one where the headpin comes across one hopping the pin deck to take out the 10, but my favorites are the light 2's that get taken out by the headpin  Nothing frustrates people more

The love tap the 6 pin gives the 10 pin so that the 10 pin falls and is alone lying on its side on the deck  If I could do that every time I would!

I used to be a fan of the dead flush, but now I like to see the messenger kick back and obliterate the 10 (righty).  However, when it all boils down to it, any strike I get I like to see.

my favorite is the head pin messenger taking out the 10.

BUT the best I ever saw was my brother dropping the ball off his hand hitting nothing but the ten pin and kicking it around the back hitting the 7 pin and dominoing the entire RACK!!! now that was amazing!

Sick messengers like helicopter messengers I also love when I hit a little light and send the 4 pin flying across the deck I also like when the 10 pin falls straight back, top of the pin first, also when the 10 pin gets hit into the left of the pit.

where you go light miss the pocket and instead of getting a washout start the domino effect and the head pin is the last to fall and falls forward.

My favorite happened when I owned the Violet Quantum back around 1996.  I hit the pocket light, headpin hit the sideboard, went airborne, disappearing behind the masking unit, then reappeared having flown OVER the 10 pin against the sideboard, and then slapping the 10 back across the pindeck.  That was just plain ridiculous but the reactions from the people around me...PRICELESS!!!!

michele-

I'd have to say your favorite strike is a 2 for 1 deal.  If you strike and you knock your opponent out of the money and you into the money.
Title: Re: your favourite strike?
Post by: APheLion on October 13, 2009, 03:53:05 PM
one of the best strikes ive seen is the monster messenger that bounced on both sides and knock out the 10 pin.

osku palermaa on brunsnick video, from vegas i believe

personally i like, i quote PB3 "i like to see everything high flush"

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

I have several.

4 pin toples over and trip's out the 9 pin. You opponent just look's at you with a WTF was that!? look. LOL

Messenger 9 pin. I don't see this one all that much but last wednesday it happened 5 time's. Before then maybe once ever couple week's.

Blazing missle messenger 10 pin. The faster the head pin is going the more I like it. My most favorite Messenger 10 was when the head pin never touched the pin deck after the ball struck it, just bounced off the left side board, across the pin deck, off the right side board into the 10 pin then finally landing at the 5 pin spot and stopping in the left channel.

I'll take a strike no matter how good or bad it was but I have those 3 that I look forward to everynight I go bowling.

My favorite strike for LAST week:  A modified-sport pattern league where most of the big dogs(I'm not in that category) from the south-side of Atlanta bowl.  I'm finally having a decent game with a six-bagger going into the tenth frame, and I throw one(too high-flush) that normally leaves me a 4-9, but I leave the 10-pin along with the 4-9. I have no idea what hit the 10-pin late, but it had enough force to tip it over into the 9-pin, which carried enough momentum to go across the deck and take out the 4-pin!  I got comments and cat-calls from 2 and 3 lanes away on both sides of me!  One guy on the next pair had to set his ball down and walk away, muttering unprintable comments the whole time.  I noticed a couple of people bowing in my direction.  After sitting down and hiding my head and laughing for a minute, I got back up and flushed the next two for a 246.  It was also my most UNUSUAL strike... ever!
