It used to be a joke in my scratch leagues about my 10th frame disasters, but in one season I ended 9 strikes in a row three different times with a 7-10.
Now, here's what's worse - I made one of those 7-10's and struck out for a 278. I consider that the single greatest game I've thrown...with a Ebonite Thundbolt on wood lanes, btw, but the score does not show it. In my mind, what I did was far more implausible and hard to repeat than any 300 game. I'd love to know if anyone else has ever done that, I haven't heard of it but I'm sure it's been done.
Wish there was video of it - but back then the cameras were pretty honkin' big! hehe.
Swingset....Yeah, that might just be a Guiness World record !! I can't say I've ever heard of anyone doing that 3 times, let alone making it once.
7-10's are just weird. You'll almost never leave one that you didn't think would be a perfect pocket strike. Right?
