WOO HOO! I finally bowled an 800 series!

[sprocket]

267,257,280 for 804!

I had typed a whole story about it but when I posted it the only thing that showed up was three smiley faces! Well, I'm not typing it all again. I caught a few breaks and picked up the 3-10 and the 6-7 splits. No opens and 31 strikes. Three 9 counts.

I'm 49 years old have been bowling my whole life and that is my first 800 series!

YAH HOOOO!!!!

Way to go a 800 series is a lot harder to get than
a 300 game is as you have to have 3 great games
to get there.

Tomorrow is my chance to do it again! I practiced this morning with my usual group and I wasn't executing well at first. It's funny; I could hit my target at the arrows pretty well but couldn't keep the ball on line. I must have been drifting off line. Last Monday I felt so locked in it was as if I was only bowling on a 15 ft lane. All I did was looked the my target at the arrows and then delivered the ball. But ironically I think that developed a bad habit. Today I couldn't visualize the line so after two games I switched to a modified quiet eye method where I first looked at a certain spot at the base of the 6 pin, got lined up to that and then brought my eyes forward to my target at the arrows. That helped a TON! I also borrowed one of my friends' balls and immediately rolled 258 with it! It was a Storm Hyroad Pearl. I've got to get me one of those. Man, did I have a reaction with it!

Anyway, tomorrow is another day and I plan on using the same targeting method for more accuracy. My team is in 1st place now.
