Seven Hundred!

Less than a month after posting about how I couldn’t throw a 700 series, I finally manage to pull it off. In the “Sunday Fun League”, of all places, but it’s still an ABC sancitioned 720 series. I started off practice with a little tightness in my arm, and my first few shots hurt a little bit. I wasn’t sure if I was actually going to be able to bowl at all. After a few more shots, though, it loosened up, and it seemed like I couldn’t miss the pocket. I wanted to display all the games here, but didn’t really have a good way to do it, so last night I wrote a bowling score WordPress plugin. 🙂 It still needs some cleanup, and then I’ll release it. Here’s the result:

X   8/X   8/X   9/X   X   X   X9/
20406080100120150180209229
X   X   X   X   X   9/X   X   X   XX9
306090119139159189219249278
819/8/9/9/X   X   X   X   9/9
927466585115145174194213
Series: 720   Average: 240.0

I also have a new high game, the 278. My previous high was 268 (twice). In the 6th frame of that game, I threw a good pocket shot, but left a solid 9 pin. The fill shot in tenth was a little light, and left the 2 pin. Overall, I’m more than happy with the game and the series. My new goals: 279, 299, 300, 750 series. 🙂
