That was a good story...that is cool that he hung in there to get it....

that is very interesting especially the fact that instead of trying for 300 he tried for the 292 if i got that close i sure as hell know i would want the 300 i guess if i already had about 50 300 games it would be different though

that crazy taking 20 years to do and and having 20 attemps at it dame know i wonder what wasis pin fall in those other 20 times.

maby one of them could of got the strike for a 300 maby some 298s-299s thats a question that u would have to think of hard

Its pretty hard to take just two pins out of a full rack. You have to hit the 6 or the 4 pin without hitting the 3 or the 2, and either drive the pin straight back with the ball taking out the 10 or the 7, or the ball has to hook into the 6 or 4, driving it into the 9 or the 8 and not deflect into the corner pin. 'Tis a very slim margin of error.

Or (and I've only seen this done once,) if you can get a ball down the lane far enough before it flips, it is possible to hit the 6-9 only.

Oddly enough, look what I did in practice...

I just noticed that you covered this. Sorry for the oversight

I've taken 2 off of a full rack several times. It's a much different story when you're trying to get 2.
