I had a game with the first 9 frames covered in strikes. When I got to the 10th frame everyone around me stopped bowling on our league. Plus I had people watching on the carpeted area. I could actually hear my heart beating and my legs felt like rubber. As I set up I kept saying to myself throw it nice and easy trying to avoid the rushed shot because of adrenalin. Well I threw it easy and got no finger lift on the ball. Everyone started yelling as the ball went down the lane. I was hoping that I would luck out and get a light hit strike. Not to be. I got 7 pins down and picked up the spare. Everyone clapped and cheered anyway. A waitress from the alley came over and asked what I wanted to drink and it would be on the house. I got a Canadian Club on the rocks. She asked if I had an adrenalin rush going. I lifted up both hands to show her how much I was shaking. I said if you put a piano under me I could play the flight of the bumble bee on it right now. Actually I didn't realize what was going on around me when I got on the approach. It seemed like my brain got super focused on the event at hand. If I knew all of those people were around me watching I probably wouldn't have been able to walk at all. I got close another time when I had all strikes except a 9 pin spare in the 8th frame. I wasn't nervous this time like I was with the 9 strikes in a row the first time. Oh well, it was fun anyway. I hope I can work out a 300 eventually.

Back in the mid 90's I had 9,10,11 in a row twice(290 and 298). Since I came back from a 13yr hiatus and had to relearn to bowl,the most i've had is 6.

3 weeks ago i put 8 in a row together (10 if you count my only 2 practice balls). once my heart started racing i choked. opened in the 9th and 10th. only ended up with a 245. that was still my highest game yet. i gotta say, the 8 were a fluke. the first few hit the pocket but then i started hitting heavy on the head and hitting brooklyn side. by some luck they were still all falling.

If you are going into two games I have had the back 8 and the front 9 the next game. Single game only 11, that 12th keeps evading me.

It could be worse, imagine going 22 without a 300. That would really be annoying.

the most I had in a row was 9. I saw a 14 year old get 10 today, he's been bowling since He was 8.

Thirteen for me across 2 games. Had last 9 then first 4. Most in one game was 10. First ten then got the nervy shakes and pulled the 11th one leaving a 5 pin. Made the spare for 289. Couple weeks ago in league had the first 9 then went 8 spare strike for 278. That 300 game still eludes me.

1 game my longest streak is 10.

In two games, I've had 18 in a row. Extremely frustrating when you've linked that many strikes together and never rolled a 300. That was also on the same night that I threw an 810 series, and had 5 balls in three games that did not strike.

13. Back of game 7 and front of game 6.

Most in one game 10 with 9 spare = 289.

OMG I have been there. it sucks. My most has been 11. By the time i was in the 10th EVERYONE had stopped bowling around me and made a crowd. First shot of the 10th was solid, second shot was lucky as hell, it was Brooklyn. My would of been 12th and perfect game i was so nervous cuz it was so quiet. i knew when i let it go it was bad and left the 10 pin. so 299 :-( BUT i have striked 7,8,9,10th, then got 1-8 in the next game. So 14. Not the same day though.

11 nothing like pulling the 12th ball and leaving a 5 pin.
