    Default Whats the most singles pins you left in a 3 game league set?

    Man this past Weds was a struggle. Only shot a 492 series. All my good shots didn't carry, had 2 stone 8s, 1 stone 9, 6 wrapped tens. All in all, I left 17 single pins, the only good thing about the night, I converted all of them. I also had 7 splits and 1 washout which I didn't convert. So that's 25 frames out of 30. It was a pretty frustrating night.

    I left 15 10 pins a few years ago. After awhile everyone on the pair started laughing every time I left one. Maybe 5 or 6 were flat but most were ring 10's. I probably missed 5-6 of them. I am sure there were a few 4's and 7's also. I try not to think about it much. It wouldn't bother me as much if others didn't carry off hits and pump their fist when carrying messengers and Brooklyn's. If I throw more than one crossover shot in a 3 game series it is rare. Carry one a month.

    Last season my teammate left 6 or 7 10's in a row. He converted most but it got to the point where he would turn around and laugh.

    I don't remember 7-10's in 1985? Was that your best PBA event?

    Had one night I left 7 9-counts in a row, and I'm sure there were a bunch more scattered during that night. I'd guess 12-15?

    i had a book where i used to chart what i left, what ball i used and line i played so when i made match play IO had an idea for how that lane played. Best finishes were 15th twice.

    Bowled in a Superbowl tourney and left 19 single pin spares. For as long as I've bowled I've never experienced anything like that had 9 strikes and 1 split. Variety of all the back pins mainly, 10's 7's 9's and 8's. Luckily I bounced back the next night at league and made all those hits back up shooting a 778 series. I guess it all equals out in the end but man that was a long day of bowling.

    Was in a tournament this past Sunday and in 8 games I left 6 1-3-6's. Only converted 3. We were playing a 47' Scorpion pattern and if you missed 1 board outside the ball slid straight. As bad as I did (averaged 23 pins below my league average) I still qualified and made it to the 2nd round of eliminations.
