Hakim Emmanuel of Boston became just the 26th bowler in history to roll three consecutive 300 games for a 900 series (officially sanctioned by the United States Bowling Congress). The feat happened at Westgate Lanes on Feb. 20, 2015.

There is hope for all of us Friday night bowlers after all!! BOSTON is TITLETOWN

    Did the USBC inspect his bowling ball between series to make sure it was within regulation?

    Lol....never thought of that but I'm SURE it was properly inflated. My best score in my bowling prime was a 278... I think I had 10 strikes in a row, it felt like I was on FIYA!

    It is pretty amazing considering the first game he threw was his first ever 300 game. And then to get two more ... I league bowl and I know how your nerves start to mess with you if you roll seven straight. Especially when everyone else stops bowling to watch you.

    Good for him.

    Look at it this way ....after this feat it's ALL downhill from here. He will probably never bowl another 300 again.

    Went bowling last night for the first time in like over 5 years. Bowled 3 games and if you totaled my scores up I got over 300 😛 (102, 98 and 118).  

    Used to go bowling all the time like 30 years ago. A whole bunch of us from work would go like once a week. My high is actually 240.

    I really miss bowling, it used to be one my favorites sports back in college. I practiced and played just about every day with an average of 225. Along with table tennis 🏓 , one of the sports I look forward to in the Olympics. The Asian players really dominate that sport. Their play is simply 👏 amazing.
