Cathay Super Classic

airgrinder SG

Went down to the Cathay Superclassic finals yesterday. Really an eye opener. Watched the experts from all over the world bowl. The final step ladder match was really exciting. Technically speaking, Remy Ong finished the game with a 226. It was Kimmo Lethnomen's turn for his 10th frame. His current score is 216. If he close this throw, it is just simply hitting another one single pin to win the game. Unfortunately, even thought his ball hit into the pocket, he got a 1-2-4-6-10 split. (he is a lefty). He only manage to clear 1,2 and 4, leaving pins 6 and 10, thus losing the game to Mr Remy. For that, I think Remy was damn lucky.

Ha ha... It's a pity that we didn't catch the S$100,000 shot.

Wonder how it is like to have 12 strikes in a game... must have been great. Must try & get one in my lifetime Smile Smile It's bowling's ultimate challenge.

Correction Kimmo left a 2-4-6-7-10 split instead of what I said earlier.

ding,
U mean u went down too? Never see u there, but I wasn't there when he shot his 13th perfect game.

btw, tried to shoot 10 games yesterday, by the 7 game, my concentration drop, by the 8th, I dun know what I'm shooting liao, by the 9th, skin abrasion on the thumb was so bad that I have to stop. Couldn't complete the 10 game set. I still have a long way to go man.........long way.......long long way.........

No, I didn't go down. Should have went down to see world class action but then... didn't thought of that. How come no one jio in the forum??

Wasted... need to wait till next time.

I agree that it's difficult to concentrate for 10 games... mentally tough. that means we need to take part in more league master competition.

JEnnifer tan was the hottie there?
oh dear... not much to choose from, eh? Sad

I think it's advisable to build one's physical fitness first when trying to extend game stamina. The fittest bowlers generally find it easier to maintain the same level of mental and physical performance thru as much as 210 shots thru 10 games. Then play in small increments. 5 game series, then 7, then 10, etcetera. Else you risk injury or fatigue, after which you'll be likely practicing bad habits which might be detrimental to one's game.

Always remember: It's easier to spare from a channelball than a split. Very Happy
