That's my line from my Friday Night Classic league tonight, for a career high series of 782. I know a few of you guys have probably done better, but not many.

I was thinking about it and it might be my best sports accomplishment, in terms of doing something few people can do. I've had big basketball or soccer games but was never an exceptional player. I'd say this doesn't make me an exceptional bowler, but certainly very good.

Anyone beat 782 recently?

Ive gotten head from three girls of those exact weights and in that exact order in the past year.

Funny, here at college we call that a 700 series too. Were you also drinking beer from a cup while accomplishing this series?

[Klepton]

my last 6 bowling scores have been 4-8-15-16-23-42. sorry.

I once closed every frame for a career high score of 220 or so. Good job. [ QUOTE ]

Obviously you don't know how rare a 750+ series is. People can bowl their whole life without breaking a 600+ series, let alone 750+.

I really doubt anyone here has beaten a 782 series over 3 straight games. Hell I'd put money on the fact that 99% of this forum has never bowled over 750+ If you combined their 3 highest games.

[MCS]

I've never even bowled a series where I kept track of the score.

I rolled 211 once. Started off XXXX9 (and was a wobbly pin from XXXXX /images/graemlins/smile.gif )

Congrats! 782 is very impressive.

[mosuavea]

congrats, my high is 710. My cousin has rolled quite a few 300s and a couple 800+ series, quite impressive to watch

It's pretty rare, I know. In the house I bowl at there is a wall with every person who has shot 760+ and it's only about 50 people (in 50 years or so). Of course some of those people have done it twenty, thirty or more times.

We had a thread about this a while ago and there are several other accomplished bowlers here. Duke was one, I think kerssens was one, and a few others. I wouldn't be surprised if at least one person here has an 800.

Bowling on the next set over from me was a guy who has something ridiculous like 16 - 300's and 6 - 800's, bowled in PBA regionals and national events, etc. He said he'll take the 800 any day, it's ridiculously hard. I had a shot at it but couldn't carry a ten pin in the 5th frame of the third game.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words guys.

if i bowl a 400 series im happy.

[Leo99]

My highest series is about 770. I have 4 honor scores but no 800 series. I shot 1042 in a 4 game series seveal years ago. I've seen more 300 games shot than I can remember and I only bowl once a week. The scores seem to be as much a function of the bowler as they are the lane conditions. I want the 800 series.

Good shooting.

[KDawgCometh]

damn dude, damn. congrats. you should hustle people at bowling if you ever get the chance

Of the people who gamble at bowling where I bowl (not that many) I'd say >40% are clear to slight favorites over me and I'm only a dominating favorite over maybe 20%. This was a good night but there are some very good bowlers out there. I only average 210 right now.

I usually get like

I suck @ bowling

[InchoateHand]

Congrats man.

You still rock the Mr. Miyagi Style? Or is someone finally protecting your carpal nerves from yourself?


Edited to add:

My mom beat NT at bowling. Uh-huh.

[bwana devil]

Can't believe I'm the first to say:

"I see you rolled your way into the semis...Dios Mio, man."

[B00T]

Good stuff...

I bowled 794 in a summer league this year. (Flagged a 7 pin in the 9th frame, 3rd game)

I have 3 299's and an 800 series. 823, 247-299-277 Only 2 299's rings as 2 were in the same season. One day the 300 will come. Here is my little trophy case which I hope to grow shortly.

B00T, I hope you roll the 300 soon.

[ComeOn]

nice series.

My personal best is 792, started 246-257 and was joking with the guys that I "only" needed 297 for 800. Started with first 10 then ringing 10-pin in 11th for 289. This was about 10 years ago; incidentally, at the time I also went thumbless on my strike ball.

I've had 802 and 801. The 802 was moving pairs in a tournament. I've probably had 10-12 series over 782. Only 3 times in the past year though.

Hell, I had over 750 twice on a sport shot. Ok Ok I'm bragging now. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nice series BTW.

[mostsmooth]

ive had a few 900 series, but im amish.
