I worked at a bowling center for four years, and I can tell you why that happened. Whoever oiled the lanes didn't spray on an even coat of deck spray. See, the pins have a nylon ring around the base of them, and if you don't use deck spray or you don't apply an even coat, they start sliding. Kegel has their own spray, but it's not as good as the old Tide and water mixture.

Dude, what's it like to work a bowling alley? I found a job working maintainence at a golf course; something I'd never thought of as a job, and loved it. I know a bowling alley is a little different, but I'm fascinated by the inner-workings of jobs like ours.

I learned how to fix the machines and fit and drill balls. Plus, I got free games, so I went from a 130 average to 200 in a year.

If I ever roll eleven strikes in a row, I think I'll just walk away. Lots of people score perfect games, but I'll probably be the only person ever to quit at 290.

The head pin came off the right sideboard hit the six and the six slid standing up without wobbling over to the seven pin knocked the seven out and stood in its place.

I needed two to tie, so I ditched my Hurricane and grabbed my plastic and launched a straight ball to try to clip the 5 into 7... It was a good fling at it... and I managed to knock the 5 into the side board... it MISSED the 7... caromed back across the lane toward the 10, and managed to miss the 10 entirely. Our team (my rescue company), was bowling against the engine company out of our station... the informal bet we had going, was that the losing team would pay the winning team's share of the food costs, on our next shift at the firehouse together, and the losing team would also be responsible for cooking the meal and cleaning up after.

Less normal event to happen yeah. What makes this shot so unlucky, like Randy’s, is the timing of it. Clearly both things happen from time to time. But to lose a 300 to this or lose a major to a stone 8 is just wrong. Barnes also lost in the semi final one year of the us open. Rough, and that then made it so Wes was POY, if Barnes won that game either he or Norm would’ve been Player of the Year..

Rip...gotta watch out for those bottom heavy pins.

From my experience when a pin is moved out of position like this the pin setter machine cannot come down and it’s considered a strike as no pins show in their spots. Am I wrong on this? I’ve seen it happen.

I bowled at a brand new place only a couple of times where almost every pin was doing that. And your ball would come back with so much oil on it that it would slide right through your hands almost landing on your foot. I questioned their ability to properly run a lane oiler.

I'm just learning how to stay consistent. Pick up the 10 pin if I don't kick it out, and practicing as many splits and spare shots I can. This is my second year in league and just since January 2021, my book average went from 127 to 170, hit my first 600 series and 5 since, and a lot of it was from watching your videos to work on my weaknesses. It's really hard to relate to some tutorials as there still aren't too many out there for 2 handers like there are for conventional guys. (Like try linking me a decent guide on a backup ball for 2handers....) Thanks for making our style more accessible to those who want to learn and grow Sku!

Don’t separate 1 or 2 handers, technique really isn’t that far of each other, especially 1 handed power player and 2 hander. Main thing is to have good basics and a bunch of practice. That orb is super heavy and to be able to repeat shots takes a lot of work, good basic and strong core definitely doesn’t hurt

Bad break. I still consider the solid 8 for righties, solid 9 for lefties as the only true tap. These balls nowadays have such sharp back-end reactions, that solid 9s for righties are common for an off shot. This one wasn't quite there, since it caught a piece of the 9, but more or less was that type of hit. Almost can be a call shot half way down.

@OskuPalermaa300

I agree. 9 pin only rarely is a tap. 8 pin is, though actually also is left due to too much angle through the pins, but obviously we wouldn’t change anything after that.

Stuff like that doesn’t happen too often at all.

It hit high. Pressure made him short on the follow through which kept him inside his mark leading to hitting ever so slightly high on the head pin. That's sometimes forgiven with a random bounce of a pin but unfortunately it just didn't happen. Great game either way, I know it's hugely disappointing but it's obvious he'll get back there again.

@lumberlikwidator8863

You are absolutely correct. You can tell it was high by the way the left clothesline fell. Head pin went back (=high hit), 2-pin went to the left off the front of the 4-pin, 4-pin missed the 7-pin but some other pin took it out. I will say it wasn’t a bad shot but it certainly wasn’t a perfect pocket hit. They should teach bowlers the difference between the accuracy line ( the 1-2-4-7 pins) and the carry line ( the 1-3-6-10 pins). I’m amazed at how many bowlers, even pros, don’t know about this. Sure, the guy got a bad break, but his ball was high and rolled over the 8-pin spot. It never touched the 9-pin, so he had to have some other pin take it out, and unfortunately that didn’t happen.

2 weeks ago I had the front 8 9th frame pocket 7-10 split struck out in 10th for a 266 it would of been my 6th 300 and 2nd one this year ugh can't believe a damn split.
