    I don't see Glenn Allison on that list. Perhaps that list is not correct??

    Then thesheibs can drill into your head how to pick up the 7 pin and that a huge hook doesn't mean squat.

    haha I know Bill, I am starting to see that a consistent shot is a better shot. :]
    I don't throw it with a huge entry angle anymore, I just play from 4th dot, into 2nd arrow hook into pocket, as I was starting from the the right side throwing it at the gutter, then swinging into the pocket, sometimes it demolished the pins sometimes it just let that mocking 7 pin stay up, and I get that Tom and Jerry feeling..
    Except the Pin is the sly mouse (Jerry) and I'm the cat who rarely gets his way ( Tom).

    As I recall, Glenn's was the first 900 series ever, but it was never recognized by the ABC or what ever the governing body was at the time.

    I had someone who bowls 240-290 games regularly say that leaving a corner pin is your own fault and that you did something wrong. Not sure if that's true. I would think leaving the 5 pin is more your fault than a corner pin. Anyone know if there is any truth to this?

    Sam, don't know. I don't really like to travel far to bowl, unless it's for a tournament.

    That is correct. The ABC disallowed his series due to what they said were non-conforming lane conditions. Nobody else was posting high scores on those lanes but they still wouldn't award him the benefit of the doubt.
