GJ. Take pictures, you might never see a score that high again.

The best I've ever done is a 70 or so.

(I've only gone bowling twice though...once in 1998 and once last spring.)

 

[saxophonoia]

wow....great job. My personal best is a 176.

 

[NumbaJuan]

allright a 330 :thumbsup:

 

[ActuaryTm]

Once left a solid 10 pin in the first frame, then struck out. 279.

Congratulations.

god damn, nice!

NICE! I bowl on two leagues now. Highest game just during open bowling was a 245. In league earlier this year I bowled a 239 plus 60 pins of handicap thus a 299. That is going to pay at the end of the season for HGH. Love the bowling.

So you missed the 10 pin, then struck out obviously. A spare in the first frame then striking out is a 290.

To Pro and get your ass kicked.

Jesus H......60 pins handicap and you shoot 239? Bet that brought your average up.

BTW, unless you bowl in a really weak league, don't expect that score to hold up until the end of the year.
People shoot 300's all the time now, scratch.

239 in league will be about 179 on a PBA lane condition, and might not even be that high.

did you cover the spare in the 1st frame? if you did then it would be 290...if you didnt then yeah its 279. i miss bowling. i did it in so many leagues when i was younger. it was always a nice advantage to be left handed as that gave me a more consistant lane condition throughout a tournament or whatever.

 

[RagingBITCH]

My highest ever was 146. I haven't bowled very much but I'm trying to get better.

Exactly. A difference of 11 in one unfortunate pin. My teammates never let me forget that when trying for another 10.

Was still adjusting (first game of three), and the oil was quite deep down the lane. Ball didn't catch until it was too late.

i was lucky enough to bowl 300 a few times..well 4 times anyway...im 25 now, and i stopped bowling competatively when i was 16...back then the good bowling balls were like $125-$150...those balls that are out now definitely cost a bunch more...

Yep, I've shot 279 that way many times. Really sucks when you run off the next 11, then start the next game with a strike.

Nice! I bowled like crap tonight. My all time high is a measley 203.

I quit bowling about three years ago because my thumb had swollen to twice its normal size. It's still to this day a little bigger than the thumb on my left hand.

2 things can cause that: Either your ball wasn't drilled correctly (really your hand wasn't measured correctly)
OR
You "knuckled" the ball with your thumb. I've seen no telling how many folks who swear they don't bend their thumbs inside the thumb hole, but they can't release the ball unless the hole is oversized.
It's easy to teach someone to not do that, but most pro shops just do what the bowler wants and sand the hole out bigger.
