On Sunday 27 May 2007, I achieved the perfect game at Wii Sports bowling.
I was particularly delighted for two reasons:-
- It was done both in competition with three other players and in full view of the majority of my pals; and
- It laid to rest the ghost of Super Monkey Bowling (the pressure got to me and I missed my best shot at a maximum by just one strike a couple of years ago).
My technique is to shuffle as far over to the right as possible and bowl straight ahead — but with as much counter-clockwise twist as I can muster. (In Super Monkey Bowling, if I remember correctly, I stayed in the middle, stopped the swinging arm when it was pointing right and used maximum counter-clockwise twist.)
Perhaps I should have just built a robot instead…
Thanks, Sally, for the photo.
