I just hope for an 11 in a row award before it goes away... is it odd to want that more than a 300 this year? My most in a game is 11, but not in a row!
I agree with you completely. I've had I don't know how many 277-278-279 games and have put together a Varipapa 300 but never gotten 11 in row award or a 300.Originally Posted by mc_runner
so Frustrating to have people ask you how many 300s you have when the guy 2 lanes down with 20-30 pins less average throws one and having to tell them none.
PAP - 6 1/4 1/8 up
speed 16-16.5 monitor
~400-450 revs

I just hung the 11 in a row plaque in my basement

Very Nice. I liked the plaques better than the "bronze" little trophy things. Would like another 11 in a row award before they go away as well. Older pic of my awards, now with 5 rings.

Nice. That is a great idea how you did that. I will have to dig up all my old awards and look at doing something like that. I just got a 225, 250 and 75 pins over average this year as well. I have a league high average patch somewhere and some other ones.Very Nice. I liked the plaques better than the "bronze" little trophy things.

I can't claim the idea. My wife surprised me a couple years ago with it. I had my patches and pins in my bowling bag and 3 rings in a curio cabinet. She pulled the patches etc out of my bag without me noticing and got the shadow box from Michael's or Hobby Lobby store and put it together.
Have a ton of magnets stuck to the water heater in my garage and lots of keychains hanging from a peg on my workbench.

Mine is 10 strikes with a 7/ and 5/ ...... Glad to hear how well your game was
My record is the front eleven with a seven count (pulled shot) in the fill ball.
Averages: Right (THS):215 | Left (THS):175 | Sport:166 |High Game:300 | High Series:815
Arsenal: Storm Tropical Storm, 900 Black Ops, Motiv Tank
9 in one game, seven in a row, shot 252
I had one of those back when I first started bowling almost , 4 years ago, got a little trophy on the seniors league with the score, 298. Eleven strikes in a role then two pins still up in the 3rd box of the tenth.
Next year on that league had a 290,,, can't remember the exact way it happened, but have the trophy to show for it.
Then I decided at age 63/64 I decided to go sanctioned leagues and last season had two 300's! What a trip that was at my fricken age!
Hey If I can do it,,, ANYBODY CAN,,, just hang in there,,,, they will come!!
