View Full Version : What was your highest game ever and what ball got it for you?



Hammer

My highest game was a 278 and I got it with a 16lb Faball Blue Hammer that I bought around 1990. That was a great urethane ball that got me some high games and a 710 scratch series for three games that was my highest series ever. I bought that first Blue Hammer when I was in my early 40s. Now that I am two months or a little more from turning 66 I have a new 14lb Blue Hammer that has racked up games of 234 and 236 which are the highest so far. I will have to see what kind of history this ball will have for me. Maybe I will finally hit that 300 marker. It would be nice. I would like to add a big HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you all and your families. Enjoy!

I just tied my high sanctioned game of 300 last night. This one was with the Storm IQ Tour Pearl. The first one was with the Storm double agent, and the second one was with the Storm Marvel Pearl.

265 a couple months ago. Did it with my Storm Frantic. I was on fire. Shot a nice 240 that night too. Can't get back into the groove since. The conditions have been really weird. No matter where I throw, I can't get a consistent roll going.

Congrats on another 300 @DanielMareina!

My highest has been 289 and it's with my Hammer Taboo Jet Black. It's funny that ball has my high game, but not my high series, that belongs to my Nexus.

My first sanctioned 299 game came using a Ebonite Black Turbo then
around 2 or 3 months later my first sanctioned 300 game came using
a Brunswick Teal Rhino Pro and all the rest of my 300's and 800 series
have come from using a variety of different balls.

Funny thing is I was posting something about having 300 games and
800 series earlier today in another thread then this evening I decided
to go to the lanes with my girlfriend and work off some of this turkey
and dressing from today.

Well wouldn't you just know it we didn't bowl league tonight and I go
and have my highest series ever with that $50.00 Roto Grip Defiant Edge
that I bought several weeks ago from another guy. I just wished I could of
been bowling a sanctioned league tonight.

I started off with a 289 game as I hung a 10 pin 2nd ball in the 10th frame
then followed that game up with a 279 game I stoned a solid 8 pin in the 5th
frame then I got lucky on the 3rd game and carried all 12 for another one of
my non-sanctioned 300 games and another non-sanctioned 868 series. :(

Against each other no less. We were playing $1 a pin. She started off with it saying she was broke and couldn't let me get a big lead. In the end it cost me $26 but the time bowling with her was priceless.

224. Got it today with my DV8 Marauder! The rest of the games I threw today were so-so (anywhere from 130 to 180) but that was the highlight of the day. Well that, and bowling 18 games for 8 bucks lol! It worked out to about 44 cents a game. Gotta love that AYCB special AMF has been running lately... :)

I threw a 241 in practice with my Blue Hammer urethane.

I threw a 244 in league last week and also got my first 600 series. I am the low bowler on our team 170 average and our team moved into the top 5 with me carrying the team that night. I was pretty pumped up.

In my past life(1989-1990) , 791 with a blue pearl hammer, 300, 299, 771 with faball nail.
Current life (2012+) 276, 704 with a Columbia 300 White Dot.
276 was front 7, then didn't project the ball right enough and left a bucket.

267 with my Hammer No Mercy. It's been a good ball. The thing's probably been dead for years, though. But it will be bittersweet to leave it in the bag from now on...

300 on league with a Turbo X. One of the all time great balls.
300 including 23 strikes in a row across 6 lanes in a tournament with a polished black U-Dot
300,279,289,256 in practice with a Blue Hammer

I haven't throw another 300 in a long time. Come to think of it, I don't think I have ever throw a 300 with a reactive resin ball other than the Turbo X. Maybe in practice but I'm not sure.

My son bowled a 188 with his brand new Storm Tropical Heat (Orange/Purple) as the anchor of his high school's JV team. Past 2 days he has bowled 139-154-164=457 and 188-133-126=447 leading his team to 4-0 and 3-1 wins. His average was mid 120's before school bowling practice began in mid November. His series have been 40-50 pins better than anybody on either team. It's been awesome to watch.
