There was no time to spare!

Amazing new video showing bowling whiz Ben Ketola breaking what he says is the world record for the fastest perfect game ever — scoring 12 strikes in 86.9 seconds.

The 23-year-old Syracuse alley worker performed the incredible feat by tossing balls down 10 lanes one after the other in his signature two-handed style, then sprinting back to the first couple to complete every bowler’s dream: a perfect 300.

Even Ketola was bowled over by the result.

“I honestly wasn’t expecting to do it,” he told Syracuse.com. “I just wanted to see how quickly I could get across the house and get strikes.”

There is no official record for the fastest perfect game, but Ketola was aiming to strike out a 2015 effort from pro bowler Tom Dougherty, who clocked in at 110.99 seconds.

Now that he’s on a roll, the pinhead plans on setting up spares in every lane and trying to pick up those with the same speed, he told the website.
