280 Points in a Single Game Bowling Backwards

In the game of bowling where getting a perfect strike every time seems almost impossible, Andrew Cowen made a new record by scoring 280 points in single game and that too while he was bowling backwards. Crazy but true!

His style to do it all is just amazing; he grabs the ball from the rack looks at the target (pins) and then checks and marks his footing before a turn as he winds up with twisting hand from where the magical bowls rolls to hit a perfect strike.

More interestingly, Andrew doesn’t need to look at his shot and can tell whether he is going to get a strike or not. Besides this he can pick up a single pin spare and he intends to learn and develop his skills.
