Brandon, good job. A few years ago when there was a rash of perfect series (three 300 games in a row) being thrown across the US, a black guy in Milwaukee left a 10-pin on the very last ball. What the big deal about it was is he had the most unorthodox bowling technique anyone had ever seen (weird backswing and slid on the wrong foot), including the bowling magazine that featured him and his 899 series. It's proof that anything can happen.
Honestly, bowling is a mental game... Most opinions say it requires only 10% skill and 90% mental focus. Training your muscles to do the same thing over and over is what you're taught when bowling competitively, and it's up to your mind to make your muscles do that. Unfortunately they never factor in luck... On certain conditions missing your mark by a half inch or rolling the ball only .5 MPH too fast or slow could make you miss the pocket.
I've only bowled once in the past year, and it wasn't pretty that last time. Now that I live basically down the street from some lanes I hope to get back into the swing of things, and would enjoy showing you how things are really done.
