Bowling two 250 games. Third game front 11 with fill ball to go. Anything less than a strike and you miss out on 300 and 800 series. Now that's pressure...not that I would ever experience it

I don't think I've ever seen a 250 game on the dot, let alone two of them in a row. I have seen a handful of 795-799s. Saw a guy go 266, 267, 266. Last game left a 10-pin on the 2nd ball of the tenth, then missed it.

Watched a guy earlier this year shoot, I think it was 279,300,263 with 26 or so X in a row for an 842 series.

I've seen him shoot at least 3 800 series.

I managed an even 250 by going 9/, X, 8/, X, 9/, XXXXXXX. It's kind of an odd score but not that hard to get. On a semi related note, I followed that with a 259 then **** the bed with a 194 afterwards. I think I made it one frame before the 800 was off the table, not even enough time to get excited or nervous about it ha.

I'd love to bowl well enough to think that a 194 is crapping the bed. I'd gladly take it with my 186 average.

I saw a guy go 168, 300, 300
Watched Graham Fach set the house record at South West Bowl in Urbana going 268, 300, 300 he was a last minute sub and had no warm up.

There's nothing wrong at all with 194, but after 2 250+ games where you know you're zoned in it feels like a bit of a letdown! It's one of those feeling where you're really happy at getting a good series but at the same time kind of feel like there was more on the table.
