Went out to the lanes to do some practice today and found the lanes really burned up - not having been oiled yet today. I could not have been happier. I really wanted to practice "chasing the oil" today with a pretty aggressive ball and chose my Lucid. I ended up standing against the ball return and throwing pretty hard over the third arrow. Bowled four games - 200, 209, 215 and 219. Not incredible scores but I feel like I learned a little.

Jay, you were standing around 40 and crossing 15?

Yeah, something close to that. It was as though I was throwing at the 10 pin (I use the 3rd arrow from the right gutter as my target for 10s).

Keep in mind that I do not walk straight up the boards on my approach, but stand with my shoulders square with my mark and walk straight toward it during my approach. Where I finish my approach is not board 40. I finish between 25 and 30....I can see why you were questioning my numbers...

Yeah, I was thinking, "how does he keep it out of the gutter?"
