Does anyone else feel like I feel....

[strikedaddy]

I dont think I will ever get my 300. The other night in league I shoot the front 3, pocket split in the 4th, the finished with 8 in a row, for a 266. Geez...I have done this so many times where one bad break keeps me from getting a perfect game. Its one thing to know you threw a bad shot but a pocket split...ouch. I cant even get 11 in row. The best I have shot is 9 in a row. It just gets frustrating shooting 260s and 270s and seeing the guy beside you roll his 2nd or 3rd 300 in one season. Sorry just had to vent....

Well if it makes you feel any better it took me about 5 years of being close...several 279s a couple of 280s.. I thought I would never get one. Weird thing is after I got my first one they seemed to get easier. I now have 8 300s, and 5 800s. Im actually more proud of the 800s I think they are harder to achieve. Hang in there!

My friend Jeff didn't get his first 300 till after he got his PBA card. When he finally got it no one in his league made a big deal of it because they all thought " oh, Jeff is such a good bowler, it can't be his first 300".

maybe one day and maybe not one day it will come. it really isn't guarenteed that you will get a 300 just like a golfer may never get a hole in one. i bowled against a guy that had a 300 and i asked him how it felt....he told me it was his 65th. gee,sorry i asked! i bowled against another guy that also had a 300 game against me and he acted like it was his first. me? maybe one of these days will come but i'm not going to be disapointed if it never does and that i know that i just bowled my best.

I can relate completely to this. I've thrown more than 12 strikes in a row about a billion times it feels like but I've never gotten a 300 before. People ask me what my high game is, of course I answer honestly and say 290. Then they seem surprised. It's something thats always been in the back of my mind. One day I'll do it, but I'm kind of glad that I haven't yet because it just makes me want to work that much harder.

[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.

the other day i had my game going my way....i felt relaxed and everything was going my way. 7 in a row and then the 8-10 split hit me square in the face. i couldn't throw it any better but realized that it was my fate for that day. tomorrow is and will be a better day.

high game is 299, bowled 14 yrs ago, bowled a 300 in practice at keesler in 2002, but since then a few 279's but thats it, tho still waiting for first 300 in a league.

now if you want to include no-tap leagues, i have had about 8 300's lol

I can relate to you as well man. It sucks lol. I've been bowling for about 5 years now just the last 2 1/2 have been above 200 ave, and i have 2 games that got to the 12th ball and not struck. My first attempt i buried the pocket and left the solid TEN pin, the next attempt was just recently a few weeks ago left the 3-10 split bad throw on my part though. Shot numerous 260s and 270s and about 5 games that i got to the 11th ball and either was robbed or threw bad shots. Shot 2 300s in practice though. Still waiting on perfection as well

The day I roll anywhere near a 200, I'm gonna be flipping out all across the bowling alley. If I somehow do get over 200, the world will know. xD

And if somehow someday I do get a 300...well...somebody's gonna have to duct-tape my mouth shut. xD I'll be in shock for a while.
