Bowled my first perfect game tonight
I bowled my first 300 game tonight. I have been bowling for less than 2 years and was practicing with my new ball tonight and rolled 12 strikes in a row. I was using a MoRich awesome finish.

That's cool man. I have been bowling since I was a kid and still haven't done that yet. I have rolled more than 12 in a row before but never in one game. I have a 200 average and have been as high as 210 before. I have a couple of Ebonite Vortex bowling ***** and also a Storm Bolt. I stopped league bowling when I had my kids and just haven't started back up.....

I was alternating. Whenever I practice I do it just like I bowl in league. The worst part of practicing when it's open bowling is that sometimes you wind up with someone next to you that doesn't know lane courtesy. My 12 year old daughters high game is a 203,

Congratulations !!! My first 300 came when I was 15. Something you may want to think about when you practice again is to pace yourself. What commonly happens is when people are practicing by themselves they are able to get in to a rythm that does not represent what happens in league play. Believe it or not the folks next to you who do not know lane courtesy will actually help you to practice your focus. The most important thing is to stay focused and consistent. I have won many bets with people when I bet them they could not throw 12 stikes in a row over the period of an hour and they had to use the whole hour, I basically told them when to roll. Good luck going forward and remember to come back to the basics when you get frustrated.

Congrats. It's quite a thrill to roll a 300 even in practice. I too practice on a pair. I used to bowl 5 nights a week. a few of us nuts would stay after the late league and practice until 3am sometimes. It was pretty tough bowing on burned up lanes but it made you concentrate. Sometimes I would bowl 10 games of nothing but 10 pin or 7 pin spares. I always set a goal for practice.
I rolled a pair of 290's in practice one night then the next night in league I rolled 815 my highest ever in league. Funny thing it wasn't even in the top 5 for the season, and not even high series or any of the 3 games high game for the night.

Congrats on the game!
I haven't hardly bowled in about 5 years. I used to bowl about 3-4 times a week. Best I got up to was about 250. I still have my "Ti-Beast" though and keep reminding myself to pull it out again and go roll.
Have a good one.

Everyone has a different definition of perfect. My perfect game would be all my rolls making in the lane in which i originally started, and not falling and making a fool of myself. Oh yeah, and not getting too drunk and puking in the little hand blower thingy.
Oh yeah, congratulations on your perfect game.
