I know its not a 300 but I am particularly proud of this game.

I decided that I would going to try something different this game and take a different approach to each of the lanes.

On the left lane I decided I was going to use my No Mercy with maximum revs and really wind it up.

On the right hand lane I was going to use the Razyr and bowl with a flatter release, about half the revs what I was using with the No Mercy.


I started on the right hand lane and I guessed my target would be around 5 board at the break point. I tried to go straight down 5 on the first frame but it picked up a little soon and hit through the nose leaving me the big 4. Picked up one lol. I figured a tiny move inside would work, playing 6 to 3.

On the left hand lane as I knew I was gonna really hit it I would need to go left. The line I chose was at the arrows on board 26 and 5 at the breakpoint. First ball, flush!

Made me adjustment on the right hand lane and it hit flush again. Strike number two!

Somehow by doing this I was able to concentrate more on each shot as if it was new and struck up to the tenth where I went XX9 for a 276. On my last ball I tried board 26 to 3, it skidded and came in a bit lighter, leaving me the ten pin. I think this showed that I didnt have that much room for error and had to be accurate!

I felt this was actually better bowling than my last 300 as I had to vary my speed, revs and line and hand position for every shot .

Anyway, thanks for reading.

Congrats Paul on ther good score and the great practice session. One thing by doing what you did, gave you experience now on when and how to change release/speed and equipment when the conditions call for it. Nice practice session and keep up the great work.

It wasnt in a practice session it was in a tournament, Lanes had gotten drier so I was forced to play a different shot on the right lane. I cant stand infront of the ball return as I plays up my speed and timing.

And this game pulled me up to 2nd.

Nice Bowling Paul, I have to do the same thing last night in league, we bowled on 1 and 2, lane 1 is always 7 boards stronger than lane 2, so had to use the CP(drilled skid/flip) playing deep and making sure that my hand was open at release on lane 1, lane 2 I used my Raid (a lot stronger than CP) playing 15-4 and having to make sure I caught it good at the bottom or it would come up light, when I came out perfect it was dead flush, had 650 something throwing like this. Definately feels better than shooting 730 and not having to move all night.
