5,7,10 - twice - what the???

[dazgore]

Ok, what gives, reasonable flush pocket hits, slightly high on the head pin, but leave the 5,7,10.
How the F@#$%k does that happen? Is it because my ball is a flip, and it flipped in on too much of an angle?

Thanks

My guess is that when the ball hit, I took the 2 which kicked to the 4 and the 4 slid sideways the three took the 6,9 and the ball took the 8

Hope that helps,

But still...It should have been a strike by the way you were describing it

I usually found that I left 5-7-10's during times that I was carrying pretty well, strangely.
I left it on two consecutive shots in a Hobart Masters over ten years ago with an Ebonite Gyro.
Late in matchplay I had a 777/3 which had "the tree" on the fill-ball in the tenth of the second game and opening shot of the third game.
Eight in a row, 5-7-10, 5-7-10, ten in a row.

Might have been a bit too much ball-speed, but that particular pair (3-4) used to leave an extraordinary number of 5-7-10's back in those days.
Popular theory was that the old pin decks on Lanes 3-4 were a little warped, causing the ball to get airborne slightly as the ball impacted the pins.

Well it sounds good anyway...

i guess the main question here is did you manage to pick it up ok??

A bowler named Oswald (Dessy) De Simone who bowls at Keon Park Bowl left the 5-7-10 about 2 years ago and then went about sparing it.
