Hi Guys,

Just want to know if anybody has ever thrown a 300 with a conventional house ball before? I threw one last night during league on Middle Road with an orange 14lb AMF Extreme Conventional house ball. Could not believe it.
 
Yes !!! A proper 300. Up there with Joe Velo and the others in the 1960's, etc. In those times all the balls were effectively 'House Balls', except that the grip actually fitted your hand. - well, reasonably - depending who drilled it.
Anyhow, you can really say that you bowled a 300, the ball didn't do it for you

Not the first with a house ball though. 1979, Joan Bell, on a 157 average, in a 5 person team, bowled 300 with a 10lb. houseball. She won $2000, and the Centre gave her the ball.
 
Poor Frankincense,

It is true that he is yet to bowl one in his very long career. However he is a supremely better bowler than about 70% of 300 bowlers out there. To bowl 300 you need a degree of luck and poor Franky just hasn't had enough. You will bowl one this year at the Barrier Reef Open (prediction)
