New high series in league....236, 179, 234 = 649.

The lanes were quite broken down by the 2nd game. Many of us were getting in and some lost. I lost my line until the 9th frame and then found something 3rd game.

$10 gets you unlimited bowling last night. Threw 16 games with my buddy.

Threw his Frantic a game or so. Wow. It hooked harder backend than my Marvel Pearl. Loved it. Might get one.

[coachkapps]

726~~257, 227, 242. First 700 ever in league. Threw a 4-9 split in the third game otherwise no opens. Great night!!

188, 220, 204 - 612. Salvaged a horrible night. Missed 3 singles. Blew our first place opportunity - position round and we took 4/30 points. Ouch. At least I bowled my average and took 2 points.

[coachkapps]

Practice
234, 183, 210, 236, 223, 160, 216, 212.

Overall, a good day. Started with Defiant 2 games, switched to friend's Frantic (much bigger span) for 3 games, then Marvel Pearl final 3 games.

[coachkapps]

first three games with my new Frantic....threw 222, 223, 255 = 700!!!

Practiced with Cell Pearl, a few frames with Marvel, and 4 games with Frantic.

205, 203, 237, 235, 217, 239 = averaged 222. 16/16 single pins - 10/10 on 10 pins.

Lost another thumb. Dam spare ball needs to have the thumb hole fixed.

Friggin A. Threw 8 opens last night. Managed a 631 - 188, 234, 209. Once I missed my first 10 pin spare in the 1st frame of game one, I lost it. Of course, I also had 2 pocket 7-10s. First 2 of those ALL season. Oh well, at least I fought back again tonight and didn't give up.

Here's the scores of the OTHER team...
653, 722, 590, 746, 776. Bowled outta there heads. There 3487 scratch series beats season high by 5 pins.

[coachkapps]

Practice last night...
222, 202, 221, 204, 185, 222, 205, 201, 215, 243, 203, 234, 259 = 217 average.

[coachkapps]

League last night: dry lanes. Wasted opportunity as I usually enjoy those conditions. Crossed over 6 times and carry was tough to come by. Guys were hooking spares and missing 10 pin. I managed all 6 singles but missed 3/4 splits.

190-180-215 = 585. First series or practice session below 200 average since end of Nov 7. Now I need to start another streak.

[coachkapps]

Son's basketball tourney canceled. Threw the balls in the car and threw a quick 12 games. Baked my Marvel Pearl and Roto Grip Defiant yesterday. Light resurface of both including polishing the Defiant to see how it would react (worked very well!). Games in bold Defiant polished.

224, 219, 235, 259, 204, 246, 191, 191, 217, 191, 183, 222 = ave 215

[coachkapps]

Another so-so night for me. Wasn't finding a good line the first game. Found one the second. Lost it the third!

180, 237, 177 = 594.

Threw 9 practice games after..... 268 with front 8 one of them.

[coachkapps]

First time in a while I didn't record all my games on my bowling app on my phone. I did throw 14 games averaging 203.

Top games: 259, 263, 267. Started each with 6, 7, or front 8. Very exciting to have that kind of success and a great line. Fresh oil and used my Defiant polished.

[coachkapps]

Missed league tonight so I drove over to practice after. Wow!! Lot's of fun. Threw 15 games. Focused a ton on spares and just had fun mixing things up and trying different balls and their line. Found a great line with my Marvel Pearl the final 4 games.

235, 245, 290 ... ended with 11 strikes and then 3 in the next for a new high game (289 old high) and 14 strikes streak (previous was 13). I was so pumped and in a zone it just felt easy. I actually felt out of it after the 290 and the next game I kind of lost my mojo if you know what I mean. I was so in tune the 290 game that the next game (214) I wasn't feeling my hand, speed, etc as well.

I also feel SOOO much better now about my 10 pin spares. I moved my eyes to the dots and tried to stay back a little (not so crouched over which I sometimes do as a fault) and it totally worked. Looking forward to hitting more spares now.

[coachkapps]

Excellent night of practice and fun!!

My buddy threw a 300 and a 279. I threw a 280 and 279 along with a bunch of other good scores. He about ripped my hand off high-fiving me after. Got the final frame on video on my phone.

I'm settling into a nice routine with my 10 pins. Just gotta have the confidence and stay relaxed in league.

[coachkapps]

Last ball of his 300 on Friday night. Not the first 300 I've seen but the first time a friend has thrown one or one thrown on same lanes. Was pretty cool.

Practice last night. Lots of spares and a few good games to top it off.

269 and 277. Had front 9.....pure shot but a pinch high, left a solid 4. Looked good all the way. I feel like a 300 is close.

For the week.....3 days of practice.....high games of 269, 277, 279, 280, 290. I've gone away from moving inside and just going with a little more speed and some loft. Seems to be working. Maybe I can get back on track Wed at league.

[coachkapps]

Yuck. 202, 193, 170.

Managed to pull 6 shots Brooklyn. Only struck 38% and left opens in 10th in two games. Lost by one first game and a few the last. Practiced after for 6 games and figured a few things out. My buddy saw some things. Apparently I was rushing, setting down early, pulling because of early timing, and falling off my shot a bit too. I practiced staying down at the line and posting up and also getting the ball out the to the right and I had success. Oh why do I always do this!! I practice and then lose my focus or forget what I learn when league starts. I just tense up and lose my 'feeling.'

[coachkapps]

Practiced Friday night. Lots of great games and awesome spare shooting. I sure hope I can continue this into league Wed. Posted shot, slowed WAY down on set up and approach. Feel so much better. Not that it matters, but 220 average for 12 games of practice. Making those pesky 10's finally cuz I'm slowing down.

[coachkapps]

149, 157, 236 in Wed League.

[coachkapps]

After 5 weeks of sub 6's (585, 594, 565, 542, 464 yuck!) I managed a 606 (199, 209, 198) and 677 (213, 237, 227)!! I feel like I'm back after struggling big-time. My problem was I kept leaning too far forward and dropping it. Now I'm trying to keep my shoulders back a little and lead with my ring finger. It's helping me get the ball out to the right on both strike shots and spares.

Whew! What a relief!

[coachkapps]

Wow! What a difference a new (used) Defiant has over an old burnt up one. I've had my Defiant for a few years and have hundreds of games on it (prolly like 200+). I bought a used one from my pro shop and it's only got a few games on it. I threw 220, 226, 245, 225, 211, 203, 231, 215 with it right off the shelf! Incredible the difference in the hook and reaction. My old one has been used and resurfaced so much that it doesn't read the lanes the same as this one.

Now I'm trying to decide if I want a hybrid version of the Defiant. I've got a few pearls and a Frantic. I like the weight block in this Defiant. We'll see....

[coachkapps]
