Aaron Franklin's "Unlucky" 300

[Tiger]

Tasmania Rachuig player, 33-year old Aaron Franklin shot 300 in the ATBSO Men vs Moonah All-Star unofficial practice tournament at Moonah Bowl this afternoon.
Franklin slotted all twelve strikes in-a-row in the Second game of the event but, due to the event not being sanctioned receives only a pin and a print-out of the score for his Lane 1-2 effort which captured the attention of the small but enthusiastic gathering.
The Moonah All-Star Team went on to win quite convincingly over the ATBSO Men but, the event was hailed a success by all who participated as a good, solid hitout for our ATBSO Teams.

And what a joy it was to watch, on the worst lanes in the world.

Congrats Aaron.

Franklin Shoots "Unlucky" 300 in Unofficial Challe

Once Again Well Done Unkle Aaron :lol:


AND GO THE MOONAH ALL STARS

Looks like a good practice session all around.

As always, i am sure the ATBSO teams will do Tassie proud.

Well done Aaron, even though it was not an official one, it is still a great effort.

Androo, a question, how can you say they are the worst lanes in the world.
In the Moonah team a couple of bowlers who have not bowled at Rachuig level and a junior who did not make President's Shield averaged over 200. I am not criticising these bowlers in any way, just stating the facts.
Add to that your 700 plus during the week.
What is wrong with the lanes?

 

[androooo]

Good Morning Brett.

The comment I made was the fact that Aaron bowled his 300 on lanes 1-2, which, ask anyone that has bowled on those lanes lately, have a HUGE difference in them.

While this problem doesn't occur all that often in tournaments, as more care is made to condition the lanes correctly, during league and practise they are an absolute nightmare. Even the manual for our lane machine suggests that you run the machine twice on the first lane, to ensure that it is working properly, and that everything is primed. Apparently they don't read manuals, and couple that with a backend of the lane that is warped (so it seems), you're in for an entertaining experince.

The rest of the house, as shown with the scores being shot lately, is good, maybe a bit easy, but good. The pattern is the same as what was used in the State Teams Challenge


Hope this clears up my comments.

Well done Aaron.

It might not be sanctioned, but it is still a 300. Just keep that good form going and repeat the feat in Bankstown next month.

 

[WASS UP????]

top effort... lane 1 and 2 must have been easy! lol

PS. to all who care, this is Elliot and due to unforseable circumstances( my ex haked into my email and wont tell me the new password) i now have a new email address [email protected]

 

[Jessy_2_Messy]

Hey Ell,
Did you mean to spell where wrong because thats your Email address or just spelled it wrong in your reply?? hehehe

Good One Aaron :!: Maybe Friday nights launceston trash practice helped? ... lol.. doubt it..

ps. Androo, i noticed a difference between lane 1 & 2 at State teams challenge so I getcha

 

[Just Me]

Congratulations on your 300 Aaron, unlucky that it wasn't sanctioned but i'm sure you will get one. Do keep up the form for nationals.
