Well, after a promising start to the second half, things have really gone south. Had 33-34 last night which has always proven to be a tricky pair. Noticed lane 33 had some of the lamination about 2-3 feet on the lane that was peeling off. Great-- another obstacle in addition to the oil pattern to worry about. This did come into play as when my ball rolled over this area, the shot was high everytime. If I was on either side of this spot, the ball was in the pocket. Not that this made a huge difference, ...
All I can say is what a difference a week makes. After last week's debacle on 25-26, moved down to 31-32 which has been one of the higher scoring pairs in the league. The back has been feeling a bit better, especially after 3 visits to the chiropractor. The lanes were freshly oiled and the backends stripped, so I expected quite a bit of movement. Tried the usual line of 10 out to 6, but the backends were just too strong. Moved in to a 12 out to 6 line and this looked like the shot. Started the first ...
Well, the nightmare continues on 25-26. Maybe it part psychological, but after last night, I just think this is a really crappy pair. Tried to play the same flat shot (10 out to 6) that has been very successfull over the last 2 weeks. It was obvious this wasn't going to work unless I really amped up the ball speed. With my back still giving me issues, this was not a possibility. Decided to move in to a 12 out to 5 line. This was marginal at best by the time practice ended. Started the night on 25 ...
Was a game time decision once again whether or not my back was going to give out. Popped a couple of Advils and did about 20 minutes of hamstring stretches. This seem to do the trick and I got loose fairly quick. Had 39-40 again this week, and practice showed the pair to be playing like it always has with 39 about 5 boards tighter than 40. Don't think fresh oil was put down right before the league, but the shot seemed to indicate the pair had been oiled within the last few hours. Went with the Virtual ...
