Too many people can bowl perfect games. Which is why the pick up spares game was added to this. I can’t bowl a 300 anyway unless I spend lots of time to perfect it, which I won’t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Yeah, they make it seem easier than it is. bowling 279 The computer made an error on frame seven.

I got a 300 a few weeks ago and posted it on Twin Galaxies, but for me it's NOT that easy.... Everything has to be perfect for all 12 balls otherwise it's a spare or open frame city... ? My game lastnight was perfect until the 2nd ball in the 10th frame, lol and then I missed the spare...... ugggghhh.... ?

I got a strike but the computer counted it as an open frame. Your score is correct there. Since all strikes add the next 2 balls together, and you got 9 in your first ball in the 9th frame, then the 209 for frame 7 is correct. You can double check this online in any bowling calculator.

fakecortex Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I bowl better in real life, I promise! (And even better on Wii, hahaha.) Low score club scores comin' at ya... Bowling - 98 Pick-Up Spares - 32 Hard game, lots of little details. But I think I'm understanding it...mostly. Kinda putting me to sleep atm, so I'll have to revisit it. Question for everyone tho- what slickness and ball weight is everyone using? I was testing out with 0 slickness and 16lbs, but my starter scores aren't much to go off of. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOWLING - SCORE OF 300 It's impressive if you used the right handed bowler. Running the tournament with right handed bowlers only would be much more challenging.

I don't think the ball weight makes much difference with the technique most people use for 300 scores. Otherwise, it is a hard game.

I play leftie, bowl 300, and noone, not even a video helped me figure it out- In fact, I did it for spite, almost had 300 right handed, copying a buddy's shot, he didn't like it, so I figured out my own. Mebbe it was me they copied... (Doubtful...) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
