I bowled a 193, 179 and a 181. It was one of those nights where I was hitting the pocket consistently in all three games but it wouldn't give me strikes consistently. I picked up 98% of my spares. A lot of the spares were 9 count spares. I was real good at picking up the 7 pin or the 4-7 pins. As far as opens go I had one in the first game, two in the second game and one in the last game. I know these aren't great scores but let's face it sometimes you have one of those nights where you can't string strikes or get a few of them scattered around in all three games.
The rest of my teammates were on their games also. We ended up taking all 7 points. I have started to bowl better games now that I surface my own balls. I have the right grit that works for me. I have a 400 grit surface on my Columbia yellow dot and my Blue Hammer urethane ball. With my yellow dot I was playing with the arch of my slide foot on board 30 and throwing it out to a break point of board 5. Sometimes I hit board two and it still came back to the pocket. Putting that 400 surface on both balls was like putting snow tires on a car. Oh yeah, no polish on either ball. For me dull was the way to go.
