dave those are come good one and briar thos eones are weird but they work i like the 4 strike drive the truck but i also think that should be the like the 5th or 6th one it would be much better cause your farther in and stuff like that but my buddy call the 10 frame strikes,

10-the bomb
11-back up
12-killer turkey

Dave,
Isn't a "Turducken" a chicken stuffed in a duck stuffed inside a turkey?

rather than killer turkey, I was thinking 12 could be a dolphin. undefeated does make sense....

yeah he could not think of one for the 12th stirke soo he sat in one spot thinking of it for over 30min not bowling it was funny then he came upwith killer turkey, cause a turkeyis 3 strikes and u can get 4 turkeys in 12 strikes soo he called them killer turkeys cause remember sometimes u will end up leaving up 1 pin and getting that 299 or in that area its jsut funny when he dose it when he gets the 12 strikes.

he tarts jumping around yelling i killed the killer turkey then th next game first shot messes up and he says killer turkeys killled me its so funny when he dose it

and srry about above its killer turkeys i forgot the S at the end of turkeys

Its great to see how every region has its own terminology for the different leaves and shot. lol

I have been bowling for years and honestly it was until three years ago that I learned the pin numbers after bowling on a team with an avid bowler who was coaching bowlers. I found it helped with explaining my leaves when asking for advice on where I should start on the approach.

There are a lot of NY'ers down here and they call it a jersey, but everybody else says brooklyn. My wife seems to have a hard time identifying front to back pins, so I've taken to calling out her adjustments and what pin or pins it is or there are. I learned the pin numbers better in the place where we bowl, as they were once notorious for screwing up spare settings, and you'd have to tell the desk what you needed set up.

when i elarned the numbers i learned it on my first year cause i was bad at spares and my buddy showed me them and its helped me get my spares much better since i know the numbers better soo it come sin ahdny to know numbers cause u can see where to throw the ball and how much speed , revs and other stuff to make that spare/split

after careful review... you are correct. Historically, that's what it was. I will hold my head in shame.

Last time I checked they didn't award extra pins for knowing the numbers. Next time you beat him, ask if he knows those numbers and point to the score.

As for bowling blind: I bowled blind from Nov 3, 2010 til Jan 4, 2012. My team mate and tourny doubles partner would hand me my ball and talk me into my starting position. After the first shot he would tell me where and how the ball went then give me the pin numbers to get the spare. It took awhile before I was confident in where a certain pin was and what adjustment I needed.

Funny side story to this. One one strike roll a guy on the lane next to me got loud and nasty saying he was still on the lane when I started my approach. All I said was, "sorry, I didn't see you."
"Then take off the f%$&ing sunglasses a@@hole." came his reply
My team mate spoke up, "Won't do any good. He would STILL BE BLIND."
When we were done I asked what the loud mouth scored. Being told I beat him by 93 pins I leaned over and asked him, "Excuse me but I can't see the score. Did I beat you?"

That was a great way to handle that....I love that story....I will have to pass that story on if you dont mind.....Speaking of the guy who made fun of me....I have worn him out for the last two tourneys....last night I only shot 1,452 for 7 games....he had a 1,319....I just asked him if he knew what the number of the pins were that he left....he just looked at me and said no....and walked out of the house.....he is learning that me being 18 years senior to him puts me in a state of mind that my G.A.F has left so he doesnt say much anymore....
