Idk anything about bowling but how are your warmups? Looking through your scores, 9 times out of 10 its the first game that throws you off til im assuming you find your strike line

Frustrating night 185 average

177-205-183

frustrating night. above average for the night for felt like I waxs struggling for every pin

Perrin
12-27-2012, 11:04 AM
Sorry I missed seeing that E-tank.

usually I am striking in warmups. that is the thing that frustrates me. I'll get a nice line and then throw a few 10 pins then back to the strike line.... then come the game my line disappears. (my guess is I am unintentionally increasing my ball speed)

Unfortunately the lanes here don't show ball speed so I can't easily confirm that.

Perrin

Got the new ball for christmas and threw a couple games to find lines with it last night

With the Misfit I will have to start having a spare ball since I haven't found a line that works for the 10 pin with this ball.

I also need to learn to trust the ball. With my older equipment I have to make the ball work the Misfit just wants to get on the lane and work for all it's worth.... have yet to see this ball not come back.

Perrin

Well first league night with the new ball. 4-man king of the hill singles league. hard to explain the format :)

shot 202-212-212-220

I have to let this ball do the work long as I execute my shot the ball works well when I fall back into old habits and try to force it I run into trouble.

Very nice!

Perrin

Good thing someone contacted me this morning. My wednesday night league was bowling after all

second set of games with the new ball. Still have to work on trusting the ball to come back and not forcing the ball to fit the line I want.

The late league asked me to sub again.

The oil is literally applied like 15 minutes before league starts and it makes for some weird results. Supposed to be the same pattern as the early league
167 could not find a line at all nothing I did seemed to work (throwing the same line I did last week in this league and the line I use in the early league)
185 moved a board to the right and changed my sight mark to 10 at 45 instead of 8 at 45
220 moved another board to the right and changed sight mark to 12 at the arrows to get an earlier read on the lanes.
185 7th game of the night with a bad head cold. got tired and started missing by a board or two and throwing slower so went through the nose a couple times

Overall this is the first time I have had to look at moving the right with the Misfit. Definitely something I will recognize earlier in the future. Good learning exdperience bad scores.... one to rack up as a lesson :)

Wednesday league

248, 162, 211

extremely frustrating middle game. everything was off, finally fixed it in the 10th for XX9 but it was too late.

Perrin
01-13-2013, 01:30 AM
Thursday coed. another frustrating middle game.

205-169-231

Perrin
01-13-2013, 01:34 AM
Thursday late league.

180 rough start the lanes changed quite a bit from warmups to the first game.
211 moved right and got some better ball reaction. Occasional ball 'skid' in the middle of the hook. guessing this is from teh guy throwing urethane down and in.
235 moved right again to get my ball outside of the carrydown.
220 Lanes started breaking down had a great game going till a split in the 9th (missed mark) and a near greek church in the 10 (should have moved left in the 8th)

Friday Night

Practice with the family. My girls bowl in teh Pepsi tourney this weekend but have never bowling in this alley before.

first game trying to take care of everything and not paying enough attention to my own bowling.
173
Wife obliterated me bowling her highest game ever of 236 so many brooklyns.... anyway :)

second game had to show up and defend myself had a 6 bagger to start.... finsihed 236

Perrin
01-13-2013, 01:39 AM
After my daughter bowled league we bowled a adult-youth 9pin no tap tourney.

first two games I have never seen so many big splits.

every shot was either a big split or a strike no spares at all

200-195

Third game I got smart and moved as soon as the ball changed motion instead of waiting for something to fail.

No tap 300 :D

I know it's no tap but it's my first 300 of any kind so I'll take it :)

Perrin
01-16-2013, 11:31 AM
Tuesday 5 man again.

Again the first game my line went from 28 over 13 in warmups to that line not checking up and getting back to the pocket once the game started.

Had to move all the way over to 25-10 to get the ball back to the pocket.

So close yet so far....

230-216-237 for a 683

Perrin
01-16-2013, 11:03 PM
Struggled with carry tonight. the good news is I found a way to pick up the 10 using the new Misfit. will have to see how that goes in the future... really should just break down and get a plastic for spares.

anyway

195-214-184 for 593 (194 average in this league)

Thursday co-ed


245-189-219

gettting frustrated with having a bad game every series.

Perrin

Thursday late league.

Again striking in practice only to have it completely fall apart come game time.

204 average in this league.

156-189-212-219

the 189 was clean just could not find a line to carry.

Finally in the third and fourth games I got far enough right.

After the league I found out the house has been working on the lane condition because people had been complaining about the lanes being dry (was just clean backends on the shortest house pattern in town) so they reduced the amount of cleaner they have been using on the backends......

Leaving me stuck with heavier carrydown which I assume has been causing my issues the last few weeks. Chalk one up to a learning experience.

Perrin
01-23-2013, 02:24 PM
Another rough night with oil conditions. I am just not used to the oil carying down vs drying out.

184 145 238

Second game I kept going back and forth between my ball jumping and going through the nose or breaking late and causing washouts.

The last game one of my teammates with more experience recommnded I play an outside shallow shot(laydown 12 break at 6 board) instead of continue trying to adjust my more normal line(laydown 17 break 5)

obviously it worked :)


Got a video with my phone but need to figure out how to get it posted

Perrin
01-24-2013, 09:19 AM
Got the the lanes early and saw they didn't get the lanes oiled till 10-15 before the warmups started.

because of that I started where I had finished up the night before.

240-200-226

second game I tried to force the line for too long before changing my focal point.

last game killed the pocket every ball. left a 7 and 3 10 pins.

Really need to look at getting plastic for spares.

Perrin
01-24-2013, 10:12 PM
Thursday co-ed 187 average

202-233-208

don't know if I have lost something in the way I throw, have sped up, or if the ball has now broken in(at least 75 games since Christmas)
but I am now laying down at around 12 crossing the arrows at 9-10 and breakpoint at 6-7 board

When the ball was fresh I was laying down at 18-20 crossing 13-15 at the arrows and breaking at 5-7 board.


Oh well the scores have been good with the new shallower line

Could it have anything to do with the fact it has gotten cold so they have to heat the alley more?

Perrin
01-30-2013, 12:58 PM
yet again in warmups the line worked then come game time I had to move this is getting old fast.


245 (open-spare first 2 frames) 191 180

Made the Finals in teh no tap tourney with my daughter :)

Not so good the first 2 games
191-195 then I finally got out of my head and started throwing teh ball decent and shot another no-tap 300

ecub
02-11-2013, 01:29 AM
I know 686 isn't going to win a no-tap, but hopefully you won something with the 300.

Perrin
02-11-2013, 01:32 AM
Thanks :)

It's an adult child tourney she bowled 182-156-141 with ~100 average.

we bowled combined a little better than we did in qualifying overall since she bowled better. THere was another session after ours so I probably won't hear anything till next week as to how we did.

Perrin

Tuesday 5-man

235-225-200

unfortunately filler in the last game I got slow and went through the nose for a 5 count. opposing 4th guy blows his 10th 7-1 and then the anchor goes 9/9 to beat us by 1 pin. felt about an inch tall :(

Perrin
02-14-2013, 11:21 AM
205-193-202 for a 600 on the nose.

just didn't have the carry that I have lately. a pair of pocket 7-10 splits and alot of single pin spares.

Perrin

Thursday late league.

they re-oiled after the early league but didn't strip the backend so the oil was heavy and long.

I slowed down and played outside with good results.

223-204-211-237

Perrin
02-19-2013, 10:53 PM
Finally... Finally this year
got my first 700 this season

226-264-225

second ball of the tenth in the second game I slowed down and left the 3-6-10 the last ball I somehow managed to pick the 6 out of the middle.

Perrin
02-27-2013, 10:00 PM
Not so good tonight.

Struggled with consistent carry in the first and first half of the second games Then I stuck on the lane and thought I damaged something. pains in knee and ankle so I had to change to a no slide style I started o get som carry with that and then lost it again the third game

171-205-179

Perrin
03-01-2013, 03:50 PM
Started the night 245 and thought it was going to be a good night.

THen things started going wrong. my ball reaction went from smooth and consistent to either Jumpy or week.

158-146

Perrin
03-10-2013, 04:55 PM
Tuesday league. Not a good night 195 average bowling against the blind this week.

181 - 180-125

First game was just bad luck didn't have any carry and missed a few ten pins

Tried to adjust to carry the 10 and it got worse for the second game. By the third game I was mad and not throwing the ball well at all. shouldn't have let it get to me.

Perrin
03-10-2013, 04:56 PM

Perrin

First night with the new ball. Slingshot drilled shorter span and pin just above the ring finger.

this translates to 5-5.5 in pin angles of ~65 and 45


676 first series.

I just about threw the last game away but saved it shooting 6 in row 5-10 for 194
