    Yup! Frustrates me to no end on my Thursday night league. One of my team mates is an older dude and he does this quite often.

    Mine usually (85%) is a result of powdering my thumb between frames and if I powder it a little too much...falls off my hand during release and goes directly in the right gutter. From a scoing standpoint...IMMENSELY frustrating. To make it even more frustrating, I had a -/9 frame in my 2nd frame of an otherwise clean game on Monday. So that gutter cost me the 9 pins in frame 1, the 8 pins in frame 3, AND my 2nd ever clean game!! One mistake, 17 pins and a clean game.

    And I couldn't even cuss because there was a little kid birthday party 2 lanes to the right.

    True they do come in different flavors! This dude is of the school that he won't learn new tricks. Have bowled with him for many years and is a fun guy. Having fun out weighs the frustration he causes some times.

    Never worry about the pins you lost only the ones that you can still get
