I don't know if this is a known exploit, but Mike found a near-foolproof technique for nailing a strike. He developed it on another Wii a month ago. I started doing it in my third frame and hit strikes every time.

Mike then started trying out other throws, but none were as successful as his initial discovery. Which is why his score is lousy. He was also playing for Clark after Clark stopped playing and started eating. Which is why Clark's score is so good.

I mean, look at that. In case you're wondering, once you pass five strikes, it starts calling them "X in a row." Also, the game yawns and loses interest in you.

The trick is, tap almost all the way to the right... just after that last red tickmark. Then zoom in and change your angle so you're pointing right between pins 1 and 3. Then throw a granny shot so there's not much spin on the ball.

Strike.
