He left a 4-7 in the 2nd frame of the 2nd game, a 10 pin in the 5th frame of the 3rd game
and a 10 pin on the last shot of the night, the fill ball in the 10th frame of the last game.
For those of you who are counting thats 33 strikes and only 3 shots that weren't strikes.
Jon bowled all 3 games with a 15lbs.Ebonite Matrix Trimax I. The previous SDB house
record was 822 ( also bowled by Jon ).For those of you who don't know what it like to
shoot a 800 it is a great athletic feat. Over 3 games and 2 hours you can't make any mistakes
and you must anticipate lane condition changes. In other words you need to move on the lane
before you miss. In bowling slang you have to be razor sharp. You have to watch your bowl roll
down the lane, watch it react and know if the reaction was caused by you or the lane. For most
people watching someone bowl this is the stuff no one sees. When a Golfer hits a drive 300
yards or a baseball players hits one out of the park you can see it happen, but when a bowler
makes a 1 board move or throws a shot a little harder or softer only the bowler knows.
In Jon's series the 1st 10 pin he left in the 5th frame of the 3rd game was off a move he
made left on the lane (25) the ball hit a little weak. The next time he was on lane 25 Jon
didn't move he just made a little slower shot and the result was a strike.I hope I have given
you a better understanding of what it takes to bowl this well but it's a very hard thing to
describe. There are very few achievements in sports where an athlete performes this flawlessly.
Yes you read it correctly bowlers ARE ATHLETES.What Jon did Thursday Night April 13th,
2000 was a remarkable.
