Andrew Granite achieved a feat most bowlers can only dream of when he rolled a perfect 900 series at Country Club Lanes in Sacramento, California, on November 10, 2025. This accomplishment cements Granite's name in bowling history, as he became only the 41st person to record a certified 900 series in the United States Bowling Congress records.
The Night of Perfection
Granite entered the league night with the simple goal of raising his average, but as the strikes kept coming, it soon became clear something extraordinary was unfolding. By the end of the third game, Granite had rolled 36 consecutive strikes for three perfect 300 games—an achievement so rare that it had occurred only 40 times before in certified USBC play.
Equipment and Conditions
What sets Granite’s 900 apart is the challenge he faced: instead of the typical house pattern, Granite’s league was contested on the Storm Youth Championships Rhode Island – a 46-foot Challenge sport oil pattern known for its demanding nature. He used a newly drilled Ebonite Real Time bowling ball, which he has since signed and retired as a keepsake from his historic night.
The Significance and Granite’s Reaction
Granite’s achievement placed him first on his local association’s all-time series list, surpassing a 26-year record. More impressively, he became just the fourth Californian to shoot a certified 900 series, joining names like Vince Wood and Jimmy Schmitzer. Granite described the moment as "unreal," saying, “To say I’ve done something tonight that only 40 other people have done in the history of this game is insane. Always said it’d be cool to see someone shoot 900, never thought it would be me shooting the 900”.
A Moment for the Record Books
The historic night drew significant attention from fellow bowlers both on location and watching remotely, and Granite’s impeccable focus stood out as the pressure mounted—especially in the final frame. He called the experience the highlight of his bowling career and even compared it to some of the top events in his life, just behind family milestones.
Andrew Granite’s perfect 900 series is not just a statistical marvel but a testament to his focus, skill, and composure under pressure. For bowlers everywhere—whether in competitive leagues or aspiring for greatness—Granite’s journey is a powerful reminder of the heights that can be reached in this sport.
