2/11/2013 630 = 205, 242, 183
It was our 2nd Third Position round. We were bowling for 3rd or 4th position, but teams were so close up top, if we took 7, we could take 1st place. Unfortunately, our team only won 5 points, 1st, 3rd, & series. Some girl on the opposite team, who normally averages around 148, shot a 220 scratch. I couldn't catch up with her and the rest of my team didn't bowl well. We were winning 3rd game, so I didn't really try. We were fortunate that the 1st place team didn't win all there games, so we tied them with games. So we had a 1 game roll-off for 1st place. I shot around a 232, but my team didn't bowl. Just wished one of the other bowlers on my team bowled their average, since we only lost by 30 pins. We at least have 2nd place secured.

2/13/2013 662 = 212, 224, 226
Used my Hammer 1st Blood. Made the handicap and also scratch survivor 1st & 2nd game, but 2 opens on the 3rd game left me with a 226. I didn't bother sticking around, since I figured I didn't win any money. I happened to stop by Friday and found out that I took 4th place on a survivor, unsure which one. WOW, I guess I was fortunate that everyone else struggled.
Sunday Mixed
2/17/2013 577 = 177, 176, 224
I put my Hammer Taboo Original in my Revivor oven to extract the oil, then I resurfaced it, which was originally at 2000 grit. I repaired all the small nicks and cuts and put it back at 2000 grit, but added polish. I also extracted the oil in my Hammer Taboo Blue/Silver and repaired the nicks and cuts and resurfaced it back to 4000 grit. I decided to use it Sunday, since it wasn't really a big money league. I had a bad 1st and 2nd game, since I was experimenting between my Hammer 1st Blood, Taboo original, and Taboo Blue/Silver. I switched back to the 1st Blood and I started figuring out my line by 2nd game. Then someone on the other team suggested that we bet $5 man on the last game. I'm not a good bowler, but I knew I was the most consistent out of everyone on both teams, so I agreed. Guess who took home the money? :)
I forgot to post this as my 1st post, but I shot a 300 after league bowling a few weeks back..
763
I figured since people were posting there practice scores.

Congrats on the 300 I hope to get one one day lol
Thanks. I didn't really get that excited, since it was only practice after our league night.
Monday Mixed
2/18/2013 605 = 201, 169, 235
Beginning of the last 3rd. Used my Hammer 1st Blood 1st & 2nd game. Lanes were dry. I didn't have enough hand/speed to use it when it's really dry, so I switched out to my Hammer Taboo original, and started to do well. Unfortunately, we lost the 2nd game, due to my team's poor performance. We lost the 2nd game by 75 pins. Fortunately, we won the 1st, 3rd, & series.

Used my Hammer 1st Blood. Won some $$$ with 1st game handicap, with 271. I had 11 handicap. Started struggling 2nd game. Switched over to my Hammer Taboo original and started doing well again. We won the 1st, 2nd, & series.

As expected, I didn't bowl well. I was late, due to helping a friend out, so I didn't get a chance to really relax and practice. I subbed for the night.

Sunday Mixed
2/24/2013 679 = 230, 260, 189
Did well 1st & 2nd game. Left a couple of splits in the 3rd game. Won $$$ 2nd game high game handicap score.
Monday Mixed
2/25/2013 609 = 203, 224, 172
Use my 1st Blood on the right lane, Hammer Taboo Original on the left lane. Right lane I was 5 boards farther right, compared to the left. We had a sub in our team, who can crank the ball and dried up my line really quick. I wasn't used to the condition by the 3rd game. Lost chances for survivor in the 3rd game.
PRACTICE AFTER LEAGUE
200, 221, 233, 200 - A few of us usually bowl after the league for money. Actually, just $1 a game. I used the Hammer Taboo original 1st game and won. Struggled a bit on the 2nd game, and finally switched over to my 1st Blood and started doing well. Unfortunately, my friend bowl a 232 and won. I knew I had the 3rd game, since I was already locked on. 3rd game, I won. 4th game, we bet $2. I had 4 strikes, and on the 5th frame, I left a 10 ping and missed the spare, so I left the frame open. Fortunately, the other guy opened as well on the 4th. On the 5th & 6th I got a strike, 7th frame 8/spare. 8th frame, I left 4, 7, 10 split and only picked up the 4 & 7, so I left another open. Again, the other guy opened. The 9th I left a 10 pin and picked up the spare. The other left another open, so I had the game locked. Struck on the 10th, and left 4, 6,7, 9, 10 split. No worries for me, since I already knew I won it. Picked up the 4, 6, 9, 10. Finishing with a 200 on the 4th game.

2/27/2013 602 = 172, 236, 194
I didn't do too well. I was all over the place in the 1st game. I couldn't stay consistent. Finally figured it out 2nd game. 3rd game, my line was spotty. Unfortunately, out of any pots.

2/28/2013 642 = 186, 222, 234
Subbed in this league. I usually have trouble at this center (Brunswick Zone), so I have some handicap. 30 pins :D Yeah, I suck here. Made the survivor and got 2nd place.

Sunday Mixed
3/3/2013 630 = 224, 194, 212
Didn't do well. Lanes were really oily. I couldn't carry with so much oil with the Hammer 1st Blood on the 1st game, so I switched over to the Hammer Taboo. Had to play down and in shot 1st & 2nd game, with so much oil. By the 3rd game, my line was finally drying out, so I was able to switch back to the 1st Blood and play an Out & in shot. I was the highest on the pair with a 630.
Monday Mixed
3/4/2013 644 = 269, 193, 182
Forced myself to use my 1st Blood all night. Shot was great all night. I just needed to hit my mark, too bad I didn't. The other team bowled well too. 1st game was very eventfull. Scores was close between both teams, and it was up to the anchors on the 10th frame. I had a double up to the 9th, shooting a 239. We both struck on the 1st game on the 10th, so I needed to double to secure it. Threw a 2nd strike on the 10, and another on the filler, to finish off with a 269 and win the game. We took 7 points from them. Normally, we lose to their team.
PRACTICE AFTER LEAGUE
174, 193, 191, 173, 240 - A few of us usually bowl after the league for $1. We normally bowl on the same pair, but we had to move to the next pair over. Lanes had allot more oil, compared to our lane. I lost 4 games and 1 guy was giving me crap, so I wanted to bet $20, he only did $10. Beat him with a 240.

3/6/2013 575 = 220, 179, 177
Struggled. Lanes were dry and the team we bowled on all played the same line as I did.
Men's Thursday Night Strikers
3/7/2013 540 = 179, 200, 161
Subbed. Struggled as well. Lanes were dry.
I thought I was bowling really well, that I'd always be bowling a 600 series or better in each of my leagues, but the last 2 leagues humbled me. I need to work on moves when the lanes really dry up. The only thing is that I'm playing with 2 new balls, that I'm not used to playing them when it's really dry. My Taboo original isn't really new, but this is the first time I'm using it at 2000 grit with polish. Prior to this and my 1st Blood, I haven't had any polished bowling balls.
Monday Mixed
3/10/2013 650 = 209, 249, 192
Even though I didn't do well 3rd game, I was happy. I played brackets for $$$ and beat all of them. Surprised I also beat the guy on my 3rd game, since he was a scratch player. Fortunately, he didn't do well and opened allot and finished off with a 162. Won 2nd place in brackets.
My previous score was from my Sunday Night Mixed league. I can't edit it.
Monday Night Mixed
3/11/2013 648 = 175, 237, 236
Had a tough time 1st game. The approach was sticky and I thought I had an extra slide sole, but couldn't find it, so I kept using the shoe brush on it until I was starting to get comfortable. Another issue I had was it was very oily. So if I stuck, I would pull it. So I couldn't get a set line. I finally figured out by the 8th frame, I know rather late. My slide was workable AND I decided to go down and in, instead of out & in. I had an 86 by the 7th frame, but struck all the way to the 10th, and a 9 count on the filler to finish off with a 175.
PRACTICE AFTER LEAGUE
235, 247, 220, 203 - We bowled for $1 game again. Won the 1st 2 games. We gave a girl 50 pins 3rd & 4th game, she won the 3rd. Another buddy won the 4th.
Wednesday Men's
3/13/2013 551 = 170, 196, 185
Struggled. Lanes were real dry and the house was very humid, so I didn't have a clean release. Left a few opens on the 1st game. I should have brought my urethane ball for the night, but I usually just leave it at home. Took my Taboo original, which I finished to 2000 grit with Powerhouse Factory Finish polish, up to 4000 grit with Powerhouse Factory Finish polish. Hopefully this will give me the length when it's really dry again. Oh well. Just tried to keep a clean series.
Thursday Night Strikers
3/14/2013 519 = 171, 158, 187
Another rough night. Lanes were dry. I have a bad habit of throwing too hard when it's dry, which rushes my shot. I end up missing my mark and/or not getting enough hand in the ball. I shot the lowest series in our team.
Sunday Mixed
3/17/2013 604 = 235,171, 198
Though not too high, at least I'm back to shooting 600 series again. I was a little disappointed in the brackets. I was shooting well, but the guy I was going against was also shooting well, PLUS had 33 pins handicap. I have no handicap and I shoot a 235. The guy I was against shot a 213, but with his handicap (33), his score was a 246. I didn't do well the next 2 games. We took 5 points against the other team. When I started the league about a month ago, the team was last place. We are now 2nd place and about 2 points away from the 1st place team, which just bowled against.
Monday Night Mixed
3/18/2013 589 = 182, 191, 216
Another rough night. Lanes were really oily. I couldn't find a good line. Lanes were finally drying out by 2nd & 3rd game, that I was able to find a decent line.
Wednesday 6:30pm Men's
3/20/2013 670 = 223, 235, 212
I started off bad the 1st couple of frames. I opened the 1st frame, and got 9 spare, 8 spare, 9 spare the next consecutive frames. I finally figured out the shot and hit 4 in a row and finished off with a 223. Although I shot well, the rest of my team didn't. We lost 7 points.
Monday Night Mixed 3/11/2013
621 = 216, 214, 191
I subbed tonight. Use my Hammer 1st Blood 1st and 2nd game and a few frames of the 3rd game. Won doubles with my team mate on the 2nd game. 3rd game, struck on the 1st and 2nd frame, but started jumping 3rd & 4th frame. Unfortunately, left both frames open. Made a ball change to my Hammer Taboo original (@4000 grit w/Polish). Struck 5th, 6th, & 7th. Threw a 9 count on the 10th, and opened on the 2nd ball. Finished with a 191. I have a nice 30 pin handicap in the house, so I was able to take 3rd place in survivor.
Oops. Last post, which I'm unable to edit, is actually from Thursday Strikers, 3/21/2013
Sunday Mixed 3/3/2013
618 = 233, 213, 172
My game started going down, especially 3rd game. I don't know why, but I was all over the first couple of frames on the 3rd game. Left a bucket on the 1st frame, picked up 2. Left another an 8-10 split on the 2nd frame. Left a 10 pin on the 3rd, missed the spare. Finally got it together, then switched from the Hammer 1st Blood to the Hammer Taboo original. Finished off with a 172.
Monday Night Mixed 3/25/2013
583 = 209, 184, 190
Rough night. Really allot of oil. It didn't seem like the typical 39'. Even our sub, who averages 224, shot a 586. After a few frames with the Hammer 1st Blood, I switched over to my Hammer Taboo Blue/Silver (@4000 grit). The 1st Blood would not move. Had to lay down the ball at 1st arrow and let the ball creep over 2nd arrow. Pretty much stayed with the ball the hole night, even during practice afterwards.
Practice After Bowling
199, 225, 216, 179
Stayed in the same lanes. Used my Hammer Taboo Blue/Silver (@4000 grit) all 4 games. Won 2nd & 3rd game over 4 other bowlers.
Wednesday 6:30pm Men's 3/27/2013
607 = 192, 238, 177
Used my Hammer Taboo Blue/Silver (@4000 grit) majority of the night. Struggled the first couple of frames of the 1st game. Got a split, with an open on the 1st frame, then 8 spare on the 2nd. Finally started stringing them along. Finished off with a 192. Finally got my game back 2nd game, but lost it again on the 3rd. Lanes were drying out, plus I was having issues hitting my spot.
Monday Night Mixed 4/1/2013
547 = 215, 147, 185
Used my Hammer Taboo Blue/Silver. Oil was all over. The team we bowled against were straight bowlers, playing 4th, 3rd, and even 2nd arrow. Their bowling balls weren't really maintained, so the oil was all over. I struggled. It seems as though I hit the same line, same shot, I'd get different results.
Orland 1500 4/2/2013
548 = 215, 211, 158
Mean's league...Starting to sub again in this league. I was a sub on one team, but was kicked out. I kept refusing to sub, since they require their subs to pay. So once I was off their roster, I was immediately pulled on this team, which was on the same league.
Used my Hammer Taboo Blue/Silver. Shot somewhat decent. I just missed a few 10 pins. Strangely, I usually don't. 3rd game, I left allot of splits.
Texas Holdem Trio 4/2/2013
610 = 206, 212, 192
This is a later league at 9:30pm. Lanes were really dry. I was a little tired, since I just finished bowling Orland 1500 at 6:15. I left a few opens on the 3rd game. Used my Hammer Taboo Blue/Silver 1st and 2nd game, then switched over to my Hammer Taboo original. Being tired from the previous league, helped me out in this league, since I didn't try to throw too hard.

Pardon for sneak attacking your thread, but I am curious about a trend I have noticed. In most of the series, you have a tendency to start off great and start to trail off in games 2 and 3. Are your balls just not finishing into the pocket properly or are you rushing shots? I realize with such a strong/controllable layout at the RICO, you may lose entry angle as the lanes break down. Do you leave a lot of 10s? Aslo, something I used to do was get over-amped and start rushing as the night went on. My shot making suffers when this happens. I was just curious and wished to inquire.
Majority of my issues are me :D Sometimes my head's not in the game. I make the wrong move, leaving bad pin counts. Of course, I sometimes make the right move, except for that one. Then I get lost at times, not knowing where to move. Also inconsistency. If I bowl with bowlers who throw hard/fast, subconsciously, I increase my speed. Or sometimes, when the lanes are dry, I throw harder/faster, instead of just moving. Unfortunately, when I increase my speed, my revs don't match.
There are a few times that I don't have a big window, where if I miss a board right, the ball won't hook, or if I miss a board left, the ball hits Brooklyn.
Wednesday 6:30pm Men's 4/3/2013
658 = 213, 213, 232
Finally a decent night. Sort of. Shot was there, I just had to hit it. Threw a few too hard or not enough hand, so my ball didn't come in the pocket at the right angle. Also a few stupid mistakes, like missing a few single pin spares and a few splits. Used my Hammer Taboo Blue/Silver the 1st and part of the 2nd game played a Down & in shot, then switched over to the Hammer 1st Blood the rest of the night and played an Out & In shot.
Thursday Night Strikers 4/4/2013
593 = 220, 151, 222
Used my Hammer Taboo Blue/Silver. Rough second game. Lanes really dried up and had issues with my release. Made a bad move. I moved deeper and threw harder and got frustrated that I couldn't get my ball out so it would hook back. Finally decided to move up and right, still throwing hard, but down and in. Started striking again.
Sunday Mixed 4/7/2013
711 = 264, 215, 232
Really good night. Used my Hammer 1st Blood all 3 games. Pattern seem like a Top hat, aka block shot. Outside between 1st & 2nd arrow was dry, inside was oil with some length. Carried allot of shots, even light hits. Shot was there, I just had to hit it. Won 1st place in brackets and high game handicap (3rd game).
1st game 9 strikes in a row, choked on the 10th, leaving a 6 count and only picking up 3. Ending with a 264. Beat my guy in brackets, who shot a 234. He had a 12 pin handicap.
2nd game 9 spare, then 9 open. Struck and picked up spares to finish with a 215. Beat my guy in brackets, who shot a 200. He had a 46 pin handicap.
3rd game 4 strikes. 8-10 split on the 5th frame. My guy to beat (0 handicap), who happened to be my team mate, also got 4 strikes, giving a big chance to get me on the 5th, but he left a 6-7-10 split. I continued striking and picked up a few spares, to finish off with a 232.
