There ya go again getting all fancy! Love the table layout :)

And decent first series!!! Only direction to go is up, right? :D

[bowl1820]

Well tonight was pretty good, We got another bowler for the team! Now we are only down one person.
The new guy is from the league last year, 174 ave., he didn't get on his old team. so he was a free agent.

We had a good night, new guy shot his ave. or better, Sandie shot 110 pins over her entering ave.

First two games I didn't do bad, the third I fell way off. I was hot and didn't make the right move quick enough.

Nice bowling!

[Aslan]

Hmmm…Bowl1820 traveling to Vegas…suddenly and for no other reason than to meet Iceman and Aslan…2 of his FAVORITE internet pains in his "patootie"???

Yeah. Good plan. And maybe you can send a message to Kirsten Dunst and get her to stay in my room with me…because I'm sure the likelihood is on par.

Don't confuse yourself Iceman…just worry about bowling against the 4 people already committed to this thing. I'm sure if the first one gets the pub and press it should…Bowl1820 and many others will be present for Challenge #2.

[bowl1820]

Not a particularly bad night, 587 series. We only took one point, we were just bowling ave. and the other team was over a little bit. They also had a last minute change, they lost a bowler so had to use a vacant. Which doubled the pins we were spotting them

Well bitter sweet night we took 5 out of 7 points, but I wasn't hitting too great.

It was dry! They started oiling on the high end, we were on 3-4 the next to last lanes oiled.

Of course I didn't bring dry lane ball (correcting that next week).

The only saving grace was hammering those final frames to get the wins in the 1st and 3rd games and keeping it close in the 2nd.

Not enough can be said about having that mental focus, when its needed.

Last game in the 8th frame I moved way left and was using the DUDE in between 3rd & 4th arrow. That was where the shot was, I should of been there sooner. I need to work on moving in sooner.

Even had my dry lane ball, I tried them all. Moved deep, they all headed brooklyn mostly.

Well we took 5 out of 7 points, Hard start tonight. It was pouring down rain, so the the place was cold tonight and the approaches tacky.

Still pretty dry but polished the Dude up and played inside more so worked better. They should be getting around to changing the oil soon (I hope) for the winter.

[bowl1820]

Well we started off the night good we finally got a 4th member for our team.

The lanes had a little better oil tonight, Took a couple of frames to get lined up.

The second game I had moved in a little, but just wasn't quite right. The 7-10 split in the 8th frame was from test, I tried going for a little heavier roll and it was right in the pocket. Soon as it made the turn I knew it was rolling out and going to be DOA.

After that I tried my old move and went back right and upped the speed. Found some oil where no one had been playing and started drilling the pocket. So pulled that last game out, but that open in the tenth cost us the game. But we took two and wood for 5 points, so not bad.

Well first position round next week and we're in the top ten tied for 6th after tonight.

Well that was a chore, had to go back correct all my percentage numbers. Mainly the spare percentages (I found my app had based the spare percentages on a set 10 attempt system and not the actual spare attempt number.)

Well we just had our first position round of the first half and I was missing two players.

We were tied for 6th place and lost all points , we are now in 11th tied for 9th place. 12 points out of first.

Well surprised tonight actually had some oil on the lanes, so was able to use the Beatdown for a change.

Was working okay till the 2nd game, grips started feeling funny. Then in the 4th frame I make my shot and the ball is bouncing like a pogostick down the lane, finger grip came half way out. At least when the ball came back the grip was still there.

Funny thing was a guy next to me had the the same thing happen! Of course we couldn't find a tube glue anywhere (shop was closed) so had to switch balls.

mean street beatdown worked great for me Monday!! Haven't had it out in a while, but I am having issues with the thumb hole, need to get it fixed! Or get another one!

[bowl1820]

Not a great night, but we took all the points.

Fortunately everyone was having a time on this pair of lanes, the left was different than the right a bit. I believe because the lane machine ran out of power just before our lanes. So they had to stop and recharge which took a while, IMO they should have re-primed when they started back up.

Started off with the Beatdown but switched to the Dude before the end of game 1.

Game 2 the lanes seemed wide open, all the scores went up. Then game 3 they just went away.

Bad night, bowling under the weather with a new ball is a bad combo.

http://s5.postimg.org/50oa2z24n/week_13.jpg

[bowl1820]

Well another grim night indeed, everyone was struggling this pair. high series was 509 and I was second with a 492!

We bowled on lanes 1&2 which turned out to be the last pair oiled.You couldn't get a read on the lanes, the pin decks were a mess. You should have seen the pins sliding around.

I bagged the Bad A$$ after the first 6 frames, I had changed the surface and it was way too strong. The Dude was the only thing working for the most part.

http://s5.postimg.org/chceeigzr/week_14.jpg

[bowl1820]

This has been a rough 3 weeks another horrible night!

I tried all 3 balls I brought (Dude, Beatdown, BA) nothing seemed right.

With my normal swing my ball speed was down 3mph, the balls seemed to start slowing down as soon as they got to the arrows. I couldn't find one spot of oil on my equipment

I tried moving in but nothing was consistent. Watching the high rollers, speed was needed and I just couldn't do it. My arm was starting to get sore, that tells me I had started trying to muscle it down the lane. So will have to work on not doing that again. Thinking about it afterwards I felt my footwork was too slow, I was being to deliberate in my steps and it was slowing me down.

Yeah. Just think to yourself, "I probably still bowled better than Aslan." It's not a HUGE consolation...but it might help.

[bowl1820]

:(:(
Well here we go again, the last 3 weeks 498, 492, 470 and now a 492!!!!

The first 6 frames here are the Bad A$$, not the right ball at the moment. So switched to the Dude, which was close. But I could see towards the end of the 2nd game, the lanes were going fast.

I think I could have went deep with the Bad A$$, as long as I kept it in tight. But frankly I didn't have the confidence and I was worried about the team losing.

Which we did anyway, the last 4 weeks we've basically have been play scratch. We do better if we are either getting pins or giving them, when it's even it's a scramble.

http://s5.postimg.org/mc6aszekn/week_16.jpg

At least this time I had my video camera going to help see what the problem is.

One thing is the conditions are dry, at least for me (and I'm not the only one that thinks this). Now according to the Pro-shop we have medium conditions, this maybe medium for him but not for me.

Looking at the lanes you can see the oil is 10-10, outside of 10 the minimum with clean backends. Normally I can see where the buff ends at about 41', so I know the oil has been cut down.

Another sign of a drier condition is my girlfriends scores have gone up. She uses a plastic ball and when it's oily, it deflects alot more than it is now.

The main problem is my speed needs to be higher. Making my normal shot before the last few weeks, my overall ball speed was around 14.5-15.5 mph. Using my video I determined my average overall speed was about 13.8 mph.(which is close what the monitors say) Which I believe is do to the drier lanes.

I'm going to put 2 of my other balls back in the rotation (a pearl & hybrid) which should help. Also Drew in the shop said I was playing a little to deep and going outside a little too early and I should tighten my line up some. (keep it in the oil more).

[Amyers]

Bowl it looks like with the dry you've got going on the bad a$$ is just too much ball or you're going to have to change something in your line or how you are throwing the ball. I struggle with getting the ball out in the dry too early also I've found moving my target a little farther down lane can help with that sometimes. Good luck

[bowl1820]

Here's a picture of the oil we had that night.

From 10 out I could barely feel any oil at the start, at the end of the night. From 6 in it was just about stripped bare hardly any different than the outside.

http://s5.postimg.org/va9e9b0jr/oilbefafter.jpg

[bowl1820]

Well a somewhat better week, finally.

After studying the video of me from last week and Using information found online and some tips from the PSO here
, I made a few corrections to my game which helped quite a bit.

We had a little better shot, there was a little more oil (I suspect the reason the oil has seemed off is the machine needs maintenance).

Another almost scratch match! we were only getting 21 pins.

First game the ball (The Dude) was like it was on a rail going to the pocket, which was good. I was matching the other teams anchor ball for ball. He went 279 to my 268. We won by 12 pins.

2nd game while not as good as the first, I don't feel bad about it. I was making good shots, just missed my spares (everyone the ball just barely missed it) We tied this game.

3rd game almost a replay of the 2nd, we lost by only 9 pins. I kind of wanted to change balls, but the dude was staying consistent so I stuck with it. We lost by 9 pins

I improved my release compared to what I have been doing. Now I didn't try to improve my speed any with the changes I made, But I kept track of it tonight and I believe I stayed pretty consistent with it. Average speed was about 13.25 mph that could be a little faster (if I can increase revs to match), but the speed didn't vary by much which was good. see chart

Nice game 1820 with the 268 and good series.

[bowl1820]

Well a most embarrassing ending to the half.

Last week I shoot my highest game of the 1st half, this week I shoot my lowest game and series of the 1st half.

Well we start over next week, so maybe I can get back on track.

Well at least it's good to see that cheap happens to other people and not just me. Good luck in the new year

Well Meh. at least it was better than last week.

First game didn't look bad, was using the Dude.

10th frame of the second game, I pulled out the Bad A$$ and moved left and shot 3rd arrow.

Did okay up to the 5th frame of the 3rd game.

Well a somewhat better improvement, finally got back to a 600 and got my SBR up.

Only 5 opens tonight
Started out with the Beatdown and then switched to the Dude toward the end of the second game.

Changed surfacing went with P500/P800/1500 with polish, went old school a used paper (except for the 500 used a pad.) . I'm going to stick with paper for a bit, I liked the look of the texture better. Plus the reaction was a bit smoother looking.

While not as good as hoped for, this felt better.

Seemed like we had a little more oil than we've had lately. My speed was up and I was seeing a better reaction from my equipment than I had been.

The first two games were mostly strikes and 9 counts, some more revs would have helped. The last game I made a move, bumped up my speed some and my carry improved.

Well it may not look like it, I feel tonight was a slight improvement.

The first game was a experiment, I didn't use my wrist brace I wanted to see if I could crank up my revs (plus increase speed some).

Since there seemed to be enough oil, I used my Hammer Bad A$$ I knew it would turn the corner.

Well I did increase my rev's without the brace, Normally I average about 3"-4" of flare. This game I was hitting 5" (I carry a measuring tape in my bag).

My speed was up also, I got a little faster footwork going, the problem was control which had my accuracy off.

Game 2 I put my brace back on and while my rev's went down some, my control felt better and I was more consistent.

My timing was better thanks to working on Robs suggestion (good timing feels like: absolutely nothing) working with the one step drill. Plus I was starting the ball sooner

[bowl1820]

Nice set especially on game 2.

The only thing was that missed spare or not doubling in the 10th at least caused us to tie that game.

I was going strike for with the 220 anchor on the other team, he shot 278

We lost the 1st game by 73 pins. Tied the 2nd and won the 3rd by 61 pins and lost total by 12

While I shot average the first game, The other guy on my team was struggling the 1st game, his ball wasn't coming up at all. He kept leaving the 1-2-4-10 washout alot and shot a 108.

The other team struggled the first game also, the 220 ave. only shot 192. with a 214 for the 3rd game.
