Had my first ever opportunity at a 300 last week, after nearly 20 years of (total, not consecutive). But a weak hit left the 7 pin. Rolled a 299. First ever getting that close. Previous high was a 279 and that was YEARS ago.
Went 243, 197, 299. My back was SCREAMING. It was all I could do to stay down on the shot. I had no hand in the last ball when I let it go, and knew it as soon as I let it go. I got really lucky to have only the 7 pin standing.
2nd game, my back tightened up and I lost the shot. Changed balls in the 9th frame and I changed from the LT-48 to the Nail Smoke and Fire, and it was money. Finished game 2 with 4 in a row.
But it still felt really good to finally be THERE. I finally made good decisions and kept my head in it.
Finally.
