First 600 series

[Big Nick]

After struggling for a few weeks with the switch to fingertip, things have finally started to click. Tonight during league, I bowled my first 600 series. My first game was a 256, followed by and 175 and a 177. I had the eye of the tiger the first game, but I lost my focus at the start of the second game and didn't transition fast enough. Then once I found my line again, my wrist was a little fatigued and I wasn't making the same quality shots as I was during the first game. Sooner or later I'll figure out what to look for and learn how to transition with the lanes. All-in-all it was definitely a good night, and I can't wait for next week.

I also wanted to say thanks to everyone who has given me advice on this forum. A big portion of it has been truly invaluable! :D

Congratz on shooting the 600 series..

Congrats on 600! Practice will increase wrist strength and you will get used to the finger tip. Don't practice too much that you are always sore though. This could be creating more issues than helping.

Too much practice has definitely been causing some soreness. Right after getting the new ball, I was practicing two or three nights a week in addition to two league nights. Since last week I've cut back my practice to one night a week and my wrist feels much better.

Congrats Nick. The 600 is nice but I'm more impressed that all your games were over 174. You're definitely making huge strides.

[Big Nick]

Thanks bill! After the first game, the second two scores felt a little like a let down. However, looking back on it now, I realize that all three were good scores for me. I've got another session with my coach this afternoon, so hopefully things will continue upward from here.

The first 600 series is sweeeet. When you start to get them more often then it is really sweet. My highest series was a 710. Now that was really sweeeeet. Good luck on hitting more 600 series. Have fun.

Congrats! It's a little rough getting used to the fingertip grip, but once you get the hang of it, it will improve your game immensely! Finger tip grips=more revs, which=more pin action which = more strikes, which = higher scores! Just make sure you pick up them spares ;)

Keep up the good work!
