Wow, that's a great display!Originally Posted by vdubtx
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.
While I've never shot more than 7 in a row (did that twice)...I did shoot 10 in one game once for a 256. Would have been an 11-in-a-row had I not left the 7-10 split in the 5th frame.Mine is 10 strikes with a 7/ and 5/ ...... Glad to hear how well your game wasA single 4-pin in the 1st frame...and that 7 & 10 pin in the 5th away from sanctioned perfection. : (
The other time I shot 7-in-a-row it was for a measely 223. Guttered in the 10th and then only picked up 7. Fraptastic finish.
I never shot 6-in-a-row (except for the 2x I shot 7-in-a-row). Shot 5-in-a-row 10x.

A little bit off topic but this thread made me think of something i read about norm duke a while back. In practice once he threw either 68 or 69 strikes in a row. A lot of people can be bowling by themselves and get lined up and throw a bunch but 69 is just crazy. Walled up is one thing but you still have to be off the charts consistent with release to carry the corners on a long streak. Anyway, thought that stat would interest some of you.
yep,,, Norm Duke, and Walter Ray are Icmean's hero's!!! 69 strikes in a row, is being in the zone!! Animals!!!
Don't walk on Thin Ice!
Walter Ray is not allowed to be your hero…because it is a well know fact that he is mine. And since until the Vegas challenge we are mortal enemies…you may not have him…I called dibs…so…you can have Norm.

Only once in a game (About 6 weeks ago), I threw 10 in a game, but not in a row. It is the 2nd highest game I've thrown, yet it was easily the most frustrating. Think about it... 10 strikes in 1 game, and a 235. The scorecard looked very close to this: X X X X 8- X 6- X X XXX. My 2 non-strike frames were open. Talk about unhappy.
My record for consecutive is 6, which I've done 3-4 times.
11 in a row and pulled my last shot for a 298, left the 6-10
I've had a 300 and a 299 and 298!!!
