Background: I’ve been bowling since 1975, most of that time I was in a social league only bowling once a week and only occasionaly bowling with friends outside of league. I have only gotten serious about the sport since 2009.
Today, I ran out the last 7 frames of the second game and started the last game with a triple for 12 consecutive strikes. I think my best string previously was nine. I feel pretty good going into this Saturday's “Try to beat your coach” event.

Had 17 in a row for a max. Last 9 and 1st 8. It was back in the late 80's to mid 90's. I was a strike or no count bowler. I had a bunch of 11 strike games, not in a row. Usually 260 something games with a split, gutter or missed 10 pin. The 1st 300 is something special no matter how many you get.
Good luck and "Next time do them all in the same game"

Thanks guys. Now that I know I can get that many in a row I just need to figure out how to get past the 6th frame. my highest scores always have at least one spare in the first 5 frames. When I get the front five, the wheels usually fall off in the sixth and I wind up in the low 200s.

I have three of those nasty A.V. games now. 17 in a row is personal best, with no 300 to show. 3 279 games since the beginning of the year. Grates on ya after a while.....
It's probably just a matter of time before you get your first 300. Good bowling and good luck.

My heigh is I think 7-8 ina row for a high 255 lol. But my friend is in a similar spot as you. Pretty good bowler, no 300s yet, but a few times has got 12 in a row over two games with a high of 16-17 in a row I think. Very frustrating indeed
