    Anyone ever choked?

    11 strikes and then I popped one off my leg into the gutter. 290. And that was after a 287.

    How do I make sure this doesn't happen next time?

    I will not be a choker.

    Had to get this out. Pissed.

    Crazy thing is last week I bowled my high series of 711. This week I broke it with 735 after a 158 first game. Wacky. But the finish. Ugh.

    My goal is to break 100, if I do then it's a solid effort on my part.

    As soon as I saw the title I was ready to come in here and talk about my experience with an extra cheese thick crust pizza and of course disappointment after reading the first post.

    Choking is the norm. 80% of what separates major league athletes from minor leaguers and amateurs is performing better the more pressure there is. It's not a natural trait, kind of a mutation really

    I choke once in awhile. Who doesn't like a little asphyxiation. But usually I do the choking, and not be the chokee.

    The equivalent of a field goal kicker shanking a PAT for the win.
