Yeah, but he didn't have to pick up any spares.

Seriously, that was quite a feat.

[Dave McElderry]

When I bowled I was lucky to break 150.
Pretty incredible. I was wishing he had kept going, just to see how far he could get before missing one.

In the era of After Effects and Photoshop I kept thinking...hummm I wonder if this is real.

I noticed that he uses two hands to roll that ball (actually it looks like he is throwing it) with a lot of muscle behind the throw. But it is still quite a feat.

Yes, he has a heck of a delivery. Good curve, right in the pocket. I understand what Sidd is saying, but I suspect this one is legit.

Yes, the video seems to be too shaky. If I were faking it, I would have made sure that it was rock steady.

Pretty sure that is real. A lot of bowlers have that style of delivery these days, some are even more "two handed" than that and put a huge number of rotations on the ball.

I love bowling, closest I've come to a 300 is 269. I have had as many as 8 strikes in a row multiple times. I've bowled many tournaments and worked at a bowling alley for a few years. Even got to be in a Pro AM with some amazing pro bowlers back in the 90's. Don't do much bowling anymore. My youngest son and I were in a father son league a few years ago, and I was a coach for various junior leagues over the years. Haven't been bowling in about 2 years now.

This guy is bowling on more than 2 lanes so the feat is not legal as far as the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) is concerned, he will not get a 300 ring...

Even more phenomenal is that he is reportedly using a different ball on each lane.



Any chance his feat will result in the USBC creating a new category of competition, with no limit on the number of lanes--bowlers will continue until they fail to produce a strike?

My guess is that he already has one.

[Chuck Engels]

Highly possible that he does, but not for that 300 game
