Definition Help: "Make-able Spare"

[Mike White]

I know what Blacksox posted, and took it exactly how I think he posted it (not literal to having to have ball touch each of 10 pins). But, like Aslan, you take things overly literal. Are you guys brothers by chance?

Ok, so it appears you either didn't read what Blacksox wrote, or you can't remember it... Maybe it was too much bla bla for you.

... If when rolling your spare ball it can hit every pin remaining from the first shot. I then consider it make-able. ...

That means the ball would have to hit all 10 of the pins.

But what he didn't say is that this is his only criteria for what is makable.

Do you kno any lefties? lol

Thanks for the clarification.

So now in my bowling terminology aresenal I have:

Turkey
Hambone
Church
Dinner bucket
Ringing 10 (or 7)
Flat 10 (or 7)
Mixer
Big four
Rg
Tapped
Beer frame
Man in
Dead wood
Most important of all: munsoned

I'm afraid to ask, but in bowling terminology what is "Man in"?

I sure hope it isn't somehow related to "Dead wood".

I read and understood exactly what Blacksox wrote and his intention of explanation on a makeable spare. He didn't need to say that was his only criteria as he didn't have to say there were 10 pins standing. You nit picked the point and brought up the point about 10 pins left standing.

If you want to nit pick, how about your point "I seriously doubt you can hit all 10 pins with the ball." I certainly can, but I don't have to do it within one frame.

See what I did there, I took your point out of context. Just like you did with Blacksoxs' point.

I forgot the #1 rule, never argue with an idiot, they bring you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Right, there it is. Can't win the argument so resort to name calling. Got it.

One more that I coined myself: One strike after several frames without one is a "wish bone." (I sure wish I could throw another one)

Well this has gotten very Sean Rash versus Jason Belmonte.

See what happens when I take a sabbatical.

Well, I asked the EXPERT for a clarification of the definition since HE (Joe Slowinski) used it in one of his articles on BTM…but Joe isn't big on responding to comments so I guess we'll just have to make up our own definition and then fight about it endlessly.
