I had a situation one time when I was in the last few frames of a not-so-good game, when two of the best bowlers in the place walked up and started watching me bowl. I felt a lot of pressure to get it right, and ended up striking out in the 10th frame. That was the first and only time I ever did that. I tried repeating it many times after that, standing where I stood and throwing for the same board, and ended up throwing a gutter ball.
Point being, sometimes all that is needed to squeeze out the inner bowler is a little bit of pressure.
