Welcome back to bowling! How'd your first night go?

[jab5325]

It's been a long summer and until last night I hadn't picked up a ball since throwing a 759 in April.

Ended up shooting 568 (195 clean, 204, 169). I have to get my thumb holes all redone because of weight loss and didn't bother to "realize" this until last night. I used so much tape that it ripped the crap out of my thumb. By the third game, my thumb was a mess. A 568 isn't great, but I was 100% on single pins and only missed one non-split spare (1-3-9).

All in all, glad to be back bowling and on the boards here!

weight loss!!! I am on such a diet right now...lol.. But at 61 it's so hard to lose any weight....

Two weeks back now ( we start early ). 609, 594. Nothing under 193, nothing over 204. Consistently boring start.

Consistency is good. My whole summer league I had series between 490-515 in I think 9 of the 12 weeks. Two in the low 400s and one in the 540s. I like consistency.

First night of winter league went well for me. 177-171-159=507 Could have been better with two tenth frames open but ah well. In a league where new bowlers have to use a 180 average and the new guy we have is around 125-130 we took 3 out of 4 points so I'll take that any day.

Started with a 595. My goal is a 10 pin jump in average this year (ended last year at 184). I didn't miss a single 10 pin all night. If I can keep that up, I think I will be in good shape.

First week back and I started with a 259, 259 and a 183 for my first ever "official" 700 series... Now my handicap is shot, as my "Book average" is only 197... :rolleyes:

Our new season starts this Thursday night 9/22/16 so I'm hopping for
a good start to this season.

[chrono00]

Week two much better high game but a terrible game two.

219-107-159=485. Decent for me but man that second game was a struggle. Between that and a ringing ten in the tenth of game three that should have been a turkey, should have easily been in the 500s but oh well

[jab5325]

I'm slacking! No 600s yet and really fighting lane conditions. I can't keep my stuff in the pocket--everything wants to go Brooklyn.

[okfoz]

Book Ave: 197
Team League
Week 1: 259, 259, 183 - 701 (Consistency at it's best)
Week 2: 210, 201, 191 - 602

Singles Scratch League
Week 1: 220, 195, 215, 217, 289, 207, 166 (43x, 22/, 10 Opens 6 of which were splits)

Well the first night back last night wasn't exactly what I'd hopped
for but it wasn't all the bad either considering the shot they had
out there. The lane outside of the 7 board was like a desert and the
inside line wasn't much better if you missed left by a board you was
Brooklyn bound or worse as there was hardly any hold at all.

The way I understood it the pattern was almost like a flat pattern
something like a modified US Open but with hook area to the right.

Okay here are the scores
1st game 202
2nd game 184
3rd game 204

not my best bowling by far but kind of consistent anyway at least
the first and third games were.

My wife picked up a hard spare she got the 2-8-7 which is
kind of hard for her since she doesn't hook the ball all that
much and bowled better than she has in quite a while with
games of 124 126 then a 109 the funky shot helped her.

Last night 233-228-211 --672

[jab5325]

My Monday sport shot league is on the Cheetah to start--I'm really struggling with keeping up with changes in the pattern. I'll start out well using my urethane, standing at 24 throwing to 7-8. Usually start out scoring in the 190s/200s, and then the slide starts about the 6th-8th frame of my second game. The last two weeks my third game has been in the 150s.

Hopefully tonight goes better! I'm going to try to play deeper.
