Nice night!

188-258-268= 714
It was my second week with my new Track LX16 (first series was 669), super aggressive ball. I just need to get it under control sooner and I could crack the 750 more than likely. I definitely love this ball!
Struggled terribly the first game last night, missed some spares again, which is driving me nuts. Heck, even missed a spare because I grabbed the wrong spare ball. Pathetic...
168-214-224=606
Last night: 201, 230, 187 = 618. We split in which was a victory in itself. Two weeks to go!
Saturday (last night of bowling thank GOD! - last few weeks was BRUTAL at this place)
177-170-141 = 488
Two weeks before shot a 501 so I decided why not try the First Blood here. In practice it was perfect. As soon as scoring started the lanes changed and couldn't do anything. Got so frustrated that 3rd game I missed 2 times on the 4 pin when I got tapped - and we lost by 1 pin. Felt about 1mm tall. We were down by 21 pins in the 10th. I threw the first strike. Second ball was perfect but left 9 pin. Picked up the spare and lost the game by 1 pin. 3 different balls and tons of adjustment could not do anything at this place for the last 4-6 weeks of the year. Started off the year with a nice 627 series and was pretty consistent up until a few weeks ago. Completely baffled.
Mudpuppy, it takes a person of good character to post scores like this ! I salute you by drinking a Newcastle brown ale, Cheers !

200 - 192 the other night just practicing. Been pretty consistent the last few week so I am happy
I only bowl one way - the best I can every ball. Whether I have a 270 game in the 9th frame or a 110 game I throw the same way. Some days your are the pigeon and some days the statue - Saturday I was clearly the statue. It was so bad that my own team starting betting against me. I was not real happy. I was glad it was our last night of bowling. The lanes themselves are poorly maintained, it is ALWAYS 1,800 degrees in there - even with shorts on and 50 degree weather outside I was sweating profusely - come on bowling is not that exercise intensive - not like I am running a marathon and a lot of the people on that league are just really holes to the A if you kwim. In the end I wasn't having fun and my rule in life is if you are not having fun don't do it (unless you are getting paid a lot of money and even then it is questionable). They are old wood lanes all beat up and they rarely oil them. Carry down would be an upgrade - the lanes not only change week to week but every ball you throw.
Finished up my league Monday night. We were up by only half a game.
Shot 224-215-205 = 644
Missed a sleeper on 2-8, ball slid through a patch of oil and never recovered. Chopped a 6 on a 6-10. For some reason started missing my mark to the inside, hit really heavy, and left myself some ugly splits and only picked up the baby 3-10. Picked up y few 10 pins, picked up my solid 9, a 4 pin, and a 4-7. Opened in the 10th on the 224, that was the missed sleeper. 2 late splits, 7th and 9th frame, killed my 205 game.
Lost the first game by 10 pins, won the second by 25, and finished them off in the 3rd winning by about 35 to win the league. Next week is tap, so time to bowl between my legs, some 2 handed bowling...
