cyberdude611 -> Legally blind bowler bowls perfect game (5/10/2008 4:30:58 PM)

A 78 year old man with macular degeneration bowled 12 consecutive stikes scoring a perfect 300. He has no vision in his left eye and only peripheral vision in his right eye.

Bowling is really easy there are so few variables, I'm not surprised really.

To me it just represents someone going through a repetitive motion without the aid of visual clues misguiding him.

Okay Raechard. Go out tomorrow, play three games and come back and report your score. Because if bowling was so easy then a lot more pro bowlers would be getting perfect games every time.

Throwing a baseball is just going through repetitive motions so why doesn't every pitcher get a perfect game?




Raechard -> RE: Legally blind bowler bowls perfect game (5/10/2008 6:30:29 PM)

Lack of mental discipline leading to anxiety and other emotions that stop the pitcher swinging his arm and releasing the ball exactly the same way every time.

Last time I went bowling my fingers wouldn't fit in the tiny holes no matter how much I forced them, I suppose I should have chosen one of the heavier balls. Their was this youth there I was playing against he had the strangest technique which was probably illegal but I noted even then there were very few differences in his action that ensured he hit the gutter every time so why not a different action for a strike? We don’t like to think the games we play are so easy if only we played them with less passion and more analysis.

Case in point male tennis players:

Serve, ace, serve, ace, serve, ace, serve, ace etc. etc. until someone makes a mistake.
