1st 300 on PBA Experience league
Posted by: Arthur Word on November 11, 2008 at 9:23PM CST

I struggled the 1st and 3rd games, but the 2nd game was all strikes.  I had a couple of shots in the middle of the game that were mid pocket that I thought might leave the 10 pin, but they all carried. In the late stages of the game, I was really concentrating on keeping the ball speed up and getting the ball out on the lane. I thought my second ball in the 10th frame was going to come in high, but it held pocket and came in high flush.  I was rolling a week ball with a strong forward roll over the 1st arrow out to the 2 board.

It took me a little while to get lined up in the first game, and I missed a couple of single pin spares (should have been a 190 game instead of a 171). I was pretty well lined up by the 9th frame.

The 3rd game, I had to pick up the speed to keep the ball from going through the nose. However, with the increase in speed, I lost some carry.

Art, way to go. You've done something RARELY done - a 300 on a PBA shot. And on the Chameleon pattern, not the easiest to master because it can transition in 3 frames, especially after a full game has been bowled. You hit it on the head - forward roll is critical - a not-too-strong mass bias gives you an entry angle that's just right and obviously you got that without having to adjust your tilt angle. Hope to see you Saturday at Shrewsbury for their King of the Hill. Scott

Artworld,

Congratulations on the PBAX 300. Thanks for the BowlSpot plug. Good to see some local bowlers utilizing it.
