Your longest strike string EVER?
« on: September 04, 2008, 01:29:02 AM »
League, Practice, Warmup and league, warmup and unsanctioned tournament, warmup and tourney?  What is your longest string.

I throw a slow rolling wimpy strike ball(compared to some of the powerhouses out here) that loves to ring corners.

19, and twice in tournaments 25 of the first 27 throws(including warmup).


REgards,

PS I have several friends who've gone into the low 30s and another friend well up in to the 40s!  Practice of course!

I had PMd this to LL...
He persudaded me to post it...
I don't talk about my bowling, never have.
I'm just a house bowler.


Back when I was throwing a Silver Diamond...
I practiced in the worst house in the city of Chicago (on purpose).
They never stripped or oiled, until Sunday night...they stripped.
They oiled Monday afternoon.

I came in to practice on Monday AM.
I bowled 3 games every Monday.
I never looked at scores...
I threw the first ball left a 7-pin.
I went out that game for 290.
Threw perfect the next 2 for 300-300.
I shot 890.
They printed out the sheet for me...I didn't really want it.
A guy was sitting behind me watching me practice...
He asked me to autograph the sheet...I did.
He took the sheet and left.
It was practice...didn't matter.

Somewhere there's a sheet floating around with my signature on it, with an 890 total.

Some days, I think about it and think it didn't really happen.
Most people wouldn't believe me...Maybe you do.
Either way, it doesn't matter.

I subscribe to your philosophy...anything's possible, if you believe in it.
I just started a 40 day meditation practice, which is supposed to open the mind.
Gandhi practiced this same meditation for 60 years of his life.

Have a good night.

The only one I know for sure is 15 in a row.  I was 15 at the time as well.  205 with the turkey in the 10th, 300 the next game, then the first ball of the 3rd game I left an 8 pin.

In League play shot 229 – 300 – 279 = 808 with a used Sure Strike I bought from a fellow BR Member. Struck from the 8th frame of the 1st game through the 9th frame of the last game, then left a 10 pin for 26-in-a-row.

In Open play: Rolled 31 in-a-row(house china, of course).

Some of these great totals in league....have you shot more in PRACTICE?

That's where most of the guys I know have skied into the 30s and low 40s of the top rockets!
