Its not an easy thing to do. Once you get so close..10 in a row for example, most of us have gagged at one time or another. God knows how many times I have choked in similar situations. frown

I get all worked up at 7 in a row LOL... more less 9 or more. I've put 15 in a row together, too bad 12 of those weren't in one game. Back 8 along with the front 7... Oh well plenty of time to get it done!

Yea today I threw 7 in a row on the chamelion. I was dead on with my line and everything....very consistent...all flush pocket hits. Then someone says, he's going for a 300 on a PBA shot. I was pissed. and I ended up rushing my approach and leaving a split. and then struck out haha. I was pretty angry. But yea...I've thrown one before and my legs were shaking on the last shot. It's difficult to keep your nerves together haha.

Beyond saying that out loud, no one should be thinking that after 7. You're only 1 shot past half way there. To me it's not "almost" or "going for" until you get into the 10th frame. No need to put more pressure on yourself or someone else than is needed.
