I have found a way to make this easily.

There is 7 marks on the track that help you aim your throw. You have to aim two rightmost points (if you are left hand then leftmost) then add spin and try to hit first pin to the right side. (if you are left hand then left side) This should cause very clear strike. When you have found the right place from which to throw then don't chance your place and throw always with same style. You have to also pay attention to throwing power. I could do it by relaxing and just throwing. Do not try to hard or slow throws, just relax and throw.

If you do this right you will get scores between 240-300 (expecting that you know how to pick spares).
G3N3TIC FoX your solution have been the best for me, thank you, thanks to you I have the "King Pin" achievement but also "Neon Lanes Champion" !

My best result with your solution : 5 strikes in a row + 1 spare + 6 strikes in a row = 279

Gaanjaa Took me awhile, and I managed to get it pretty drunk at 6 AM after 50 attempts throughout the week, but I finally got it.

My technique was very similar to LIBERATE's.

Zordnil The spin throw is great for strikes, but i found that a third of the time it didnt spin for me even though i did the same way all the time. So i started throwing just straight down the middle without spin and got 290 my first try against champion AI (first was a 9/ spare and the rest were strikes). I am not downvoting you since the strategy should work.

Lifeless Reaper so i did what zordnil did and threw straight down the middle but i angled my body and learned how to throw my arm so it was a perfect throw no curves but when i would throw i would close my eyes to do it (to relax) and i pulled a 267 but the computer got the same score so i did it again and beat her by 10 with a score of 258
