This was the (my) shot of the day at Quad Squad bowling on August 11, 2018. I am posting it now to share and preserve it on my blog. I needed to convert this 3-10 split in the 10th frame in order to have a chance at 200. The pressure was on to make the shot, plus I knew I was being recorded. And as this video shows, I got it! :-)
After that, I needed seven pins with my last ball to bowl 200… and I got seven! :-)
Here is my scoresheet:
It’s my 26th game of 200 or better from my wheelchair with my IKAN Bowler®.
All glory to God! :-)

I started this blog to highlight how wheelchair users, especially power wheelchair users, are being empowered through sport, in particular: dynamic wheelchair bowling. It's actually bowling that emulates the able-bodied bowling process, i.e. setup, then physically approach and release the ball upon stopping short of the foul line. I happen to be paralyzed from my neck down, and ventilator-dependent, yet I've actually bowled 24 legitimate games of 200 or better. I say that NOT to brag, but to show what is possible and make the point that ANY wheelchair user who can safely operate their chair, they can bowl (I helped invent a device that makes it possible). Please look around and feel free to ask any questions! Thanks and God bless!
