Practicing today with my old plastic and I bowled 300, but only scored 194. It happened like this. Put the 1st ball down, and you've all had the feeling . Release dead right, hit target board, right line and speed - you know it's 'ten in the pit', as soon as it leaves your hand. It hits just the way you knew it would - one 'whoomph' and they're all gone !!! .Well, all except the 7 pin, that is. So, knock the 7 pin over, and on to the 2nd frame. Identical - No doubt this time - Whoomph - this time ! - Well, almost, just except for the 10 pin. Knock it down.
3rd... This time !! - Yes ! Strike! Seldom do I ( or you) throw what look like absolute identical shots - almost, yes, but identical - No! But these 3 were identical !
4th... Identical again...10pin. Miss it - open frame.
5th, 6th, 7th... All totally the same - Whoomph, Whoomph, Whoomph. 7pin, 10pin, 7pin..
Next 2 - absolute perfection, and duplicates of the previous 7... Both strikes !!.
Now for the 10th. Hard to believe i've thrown such identical shots - Done it again!!
10pin. Knock it down, and do it one more time.
Last ball - perfect again - Strike. Score 194. Dont remember when I last threw 11 seemingly perfect first balls in a game.... Been in the pocket over and over? Yes, but identical? No!
This is a weird game. In cricket, they were all sixes.' Any game where you score goals - football, hockey, basketball, they would have been all goals. Serves in tennis - all right in the corner, prob unreturnable.
This really is a silly game............ Hold on a minute, though - I've been playing it, on and off for about 53 years.... Must say something about me ...Hummm??
