Who hasn't bowled a 300 game yet?

[Hammer]

I got close one time. I started with six strikes. In the seventh frame when I got to the foul line my ball just dropped off my hand and I didn't get to put leverage on the release. So the ball went in light. I got seven pins down on the first ball and then picked up the three left for a spare. The rest of the way I finished with all strikes for a 276. I have bowled high games in the 200s and got enough scratch series over 600. As a matter of fact my highest scratch series was 710. I had a game where I got the first nine frames with strikes and then a light hit in the tenth frame for a spare and a nine count. The highest average I got to was a 191. I wasn't one for putting in a lot of practice so that might have something to do with it. I have bowled for 36 years total and still like to bowl So I was wondering who here hasn't made a 300 yet. How close have you come to one?

I started league bowling about 1980 (about 11 years old) but did take a 16 year break from 2002 to 2018 so about 23 years total. My high game is a 267 over this past summer. Prior to that my high was a 266. During that 266 I rolled 12 strikes in a row but I ended a game with 5 then started the next with 7 (245 and 266). That was back in the early 90's. My high series is a little gray. A few week sago I rolled a 657 so I'm calling that my high series but I think I rolled a 66* when I had that 245, 266 but can't remember what it was for sure. My highest league average was 193 and that was back around 2002 when I left. Right now I'm at 192 so looking to break that this year.

Do I count twice since I haven’t shot 300 with either hand. While I have had one Varipapa 300, I haven’t come close to a real one. My highest scores, 279 right handed/263 left handed have all started with two or three strikes, then a spare. When I start with 5 or 6 the final score is usually between 200 and 240.

A couple of years ago I rolled a 280. I was joking around with one of my teammates and said that I needed a 267 for a 700 series. We both laughed.
I had rolled several 266, 267 and 268 games in the previous couple of years. I recall leaving the 8-pin in the second frame of game 3 of the set and then struck out. Couldn't miss. It felt like I should have kept bowling all day... :)

I haven't. 4 299 games, a 295 (not my proudest moment...), and handful of 289's, and more 279's than I care to mention.

our PSO bowled one last week (11/19) and had one 10/22. They said he has had about 40-50 of them. They don't even announce it anymore when he does it...lol. In fact, last week he had a 300 the first game, then a 289 (left a 7) then a 233 (822). His average right now is 236.**. The 300 on 10/19 was against us and he used a new Conspiracy Theory. Not sure what he used the other night

[boatman37]

Well tonight in game 1 a guy in the pair next to us bowled a 300 then in game 2 his teammate bowled a 299

[Stormed1]

5 299's /2 298 / 805 5 290's 100+ 289 and probably a thousand plus 279

[skittle1474]

I have bowled a 288, 279 & a 278. No 300 so far. Best series 734 & a 730.

[LOUVIT]

277 my high.

Still waiting. It would help my chances if I bowled more than 75 league games a year. I stopped league bowling between age 24 and 35 to play deck hockey and also my arm was hurting from bowling and I didn't have a cure for it..now I figured it out and started again in 2015. Bowled many games as a teenager in the 90s and got my high of 278 in 1997 just from cranking it towards the gutter while looking down at my feet. I've fixed my game alot the past 2 years and this year I got a 277,. 12 in a row over 2 games, my high series, and the front 9 once..so maybe I'm getting closer.

Me :mad:

Unless you count the one I bowled in practice...which I don't.

Highest sanctioned game is a 268.

I bowled one in 1997, when there were only 8 thrown in that house during that season. I haven't had one since then. Started off a few games with 10 strikes, but wasn't able to seal the deal.
