No 300's, but I did roll 18 in-a-row a couple months ago (back 9 & front 9). While perhaps more difficult, it was quite frustrating.

I shot my only 300 back in June of 1995, after bowling for a year. I shot back to back 171's and somehow managed to get lucky enough in game 3 to pull it off. The paper ran an article in the bowling section about it and the writer teased me by saying I ruined a triplicate. I had two Brooklyns and one go through the nose that carried through pin domino action. The last 4 shots were dead flush, so I didn't hang my head too low after shooting it =p
I've had countless games in the 25X+ range that were superior as far as shot-to-shot goes. Just last Monday I went front 5, stone 8, strike, stone 8, sheet for 258. All dead flush shots. That's bowling for you.
I used to know how you feel, my first time getting the front 11, I left a solid 8 pin. REALLY? You wait until the 12th shot to do that? Every shot was dead flush, I was about a year into bowling with a 180 average, throwing it 14 mph with a urethane ball.. About 6 months later, front 11 all flush strikes again, ring a 10 for the 12th. COME ON!
Well about 2-3 months later having worked with my friend, I was now throwing it about 16mph with a reactive ball(the Storm Invasion, actually) front 11, nut the 12th for my first 300.
Prior to that, I had probably about 5-10 front 9's, 2 front 11's, it just takes patience. Now about 8 months after my first 300, here we are today, I have 7 300s, and I haven't shot one in 4 months.
Yee
It will come when you are not thinking about it. Crossing over that hump is difficult because you try so hard to accomplish your goal which is a 300 in this case. Once you do shoot 300 (and you will) it is 20 times easier to shoot the 2nd one. Best of luck to you!Originally Posted by strikedaddy
Same here. Ive done the 12 in a row between 2 games also. That is a heartbreaker. League is tonight and Im hoping to re-create last weeks magic, with the exception of the pocket split.

I have to agree with Jimmy. Once you do shoot your first, the second will be much easier. The key is to not think about it. Just let it happen. Focus on making 1 good shot rather than 12. Makes everything so much simpler.
