so I didn't have to go to school until late today, so I decided to go practice with my friends. I had a sore throat, an achy back, and my thumb hurt so yeah...
I was also trying to adjust something in my back-swing... due to some advice from a local cool-guy

first game, typical 155..

next game.. front 11... solid 8-pin for a 299, wow. I've gotten so close so many times in the last month :(


Go ahead and watch my shame here

was using my urethane ball again, followed up the 299 with front 3 233, front 5 243, front 5 222, and a front 6 240 :/

DANG YOU 300 GAME! Lol, soon.

You don't have 300 yet? Well, close enough anyways :p. I have a team mate that has 297, 298, and 299 but no 300. At least not in league, can't remember if he's done it in practice.

i have a 286, 288, 289, and this 299 was my first time breaking the front-10 for the front-11.

soon the front-11 shall be broken like all the others

maybe..

i think the slow approach is to keep my timing good with my high backswing
