    Default Front 27

    Bowler in our league tonight had the front 27 before leaving a stone 9 pin.

    One of my goals is to have back to back 300's.

    Pure insanity! I can't even imagine!

    Did he close it out for an 879?

    How many ball changes and major adjustments did he have over the set? I remember reading about the guy in PA a couple weeks back not needing many adjustments/moves.

    Man that would be fun to watch. The most I have seen someone throw in a row was my teammate who had 20 without throwing a 300.

    I watched my buddy with my Motiv Tag throw 15 in a row and it was the first time he had used it. Monday nights he uses a very casual league to try different things. His interchangeable thumb fits and the span is close so he can throw my stuff. Our league had already started and he walked up to and said hi. I told him whatever in my bag is in play other than my Sky Rocket. After the 2nd game he came over and got my Shock, which was just too much for where he was playing. Tossed it once and then came back and grabbed the Tag as I told him it was probably what would work better.

    I have never seen Marc smile so much and he is thinking of trying more Motiv. My response was, "everything has a price". Later I gave him my Motiv Tribal I no longer use.
    Equipment:
    Motiv: Forza, Forza Redine, Venom Shock, Tag
    Storm: Sky Rocket
    Track 100P Spare Ball

    To be drilled: Motiv Jackal

    This is why hobbies like this are so frustrating...the guy bowled a set of a lifetime and I all but guarantee he was more angry about the solid 9 in the 4th frame of the 3rd game than he was happy about the out-of-this-world set he completed (I know that's how I would be, at least lol).

    That is crazy. I would've loved to have seen it! Was it a walled house shot? Sport pattern? Not to in any way detract from his feat... just curious.

    Just your regular every day house shot.

    He throws the ball from the corner with a little flare at about 20mph. Needless to say, he has some good carry.

    That was some good bowling he done, as for myself the most strikes
    I've thrown in a row was 21 I had a 300 the first game and I let the
    ball get a little high and hung a 7 count on the first ball in the 10th
    frame of the 2nd game spared and then struck the last ball for a 277
    game.

    Last fall on the Thursday night league one week I finished off the 1st
    game with 8 in a row then started the 2nd game with the first 8 for 16
    in a row thought I might get another 300 game out of it but was not to
    be a pocket 7-10 saw to that. LOL!!
