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 Energy and tonight did show the outside bump area which had been absent for the last couple of weeks. The shot didn't change the entire night except I moved a board or so deeper on 40 by the 3rd game. The result was a clean night (no opens) which is quite rare for me. Carry was also quite good as I only left five 10 pins. Looks like playing the flatter line has improved carry as was the case last week. Had a couple of good strings but nothing real huge (a 5 bagger was the biggest) and ended up with a 726. To shoot this many 7s this early is also unusual for me as Feb/Mar is when I normally have the majority of the big series. At least the team is doing well this half which is the most important part. We took 5 of 7 this week and I had a chance in the first game to double in the 10th to win the game. I struck on the first ball, but pulled the second shot leaving the 3-6-10. I guess hindsight is always 20-20, especially when this shot could have given the team all 7. There is always next week, but it's back to crappy 25-26 which has been hell from a carry standpoint. Just have to hope for the best.
