Last season I joined a trio league that was a handicap league. I tried getting us double the pins. I was blind, the captain has cerebral palsy and the third guy is just stupid. How much more handicapped could we be? I was an in-season addition after a guy quit. The other two were a little discouraged that a blind guy had a higher average

[MICHAEL]

For a blind guy, I have watched your video's you are remarkable!!! LOL!!! Went to your profile, (what is your average if you don't mind me asking!!

I'm ready to rumble on Friday.. and tonight!

Jason ,,,, a,,,,, Joyce and me won 4 out of 5 tonight on bad lane conditions, (as you and everyone else knows!!) They were so dry that I use my spare ball towarde the end! Wish I would have switched quicker. V.G. nanno, first game, first throw, shot across the lane like a rocket!! Almost the same with the
Undefeated,,, still to much back end. My spare ball worked well, I just waited to long to pull it out!! Lesson learned! With that win it puts us I believe one game out of first, if you won 2 today: You were 7 wins and 3 losses. we had 4 and 6,,,, now we are 8 and 7. So its very close, or so it looks to me!
Joyce is really doing GREAT! She carried me again theis week... I know its early only 3 weeks into the short season.... but It looks to be a close one!!!

And just where did you get the idea to use your spare ball on dry lanes?

[JaMau24]

Ya, they were strange lanes tonight. I don't understand how a typical house shot pattern can vary so much week to week. It should be the same, or not far from it, week to week. Honestly though, the lanes weren't the reason why I just had an "average" type of night tonight. Actually had a pretty good strike percentage (60.9%), I just missed 10 pins and missed easy spares.

I had a 189 (Vivid), 225 (Nexxus), 213 (Nexxus), 192 (Vivid).

The 225 game, I missed a 7 pin in the first, which I NEVER do, but I suppose it happens... I also missed a 10 pin for the first part of the 10th. So my possible 248 turned into a 225.

The 213 game I missed a 10 pin in the 8th, which got rid of a possible 224.

The 192 game at the end I missed a 10 pin in the first, and in the 3rd. It's a 215 if I pick those up.

So overall, I missed four out of five 10 pins tonight, and also missed a 7 pin. I'm so tired of missing that 10 pin. It just crushes my games. I had an 819 four game series and if I would have picked up those four 10 pins and that one 7 pin, I think it would have been an 876 series or something.

Honestly, I think a big problem is, my spare ball isn't drilled correctly to my hand. The span is way off (small), so this causes me to grip the ball and muscle it towards the target instead of letting it rest and having a nice free straight arm swing. I'm going to get it plugged and drilled correctly some time in the near future. I think that, plus still not having a ton of experience throwing a straight ball at it is what is causing me to miss it so much. I so badly want to master that pin.

Anyway, my avg for tonight was 205 (could have been 219 if picked up 10 pins and 7 pin), so I'm not all that mad considering the lanes were pretty difficult. Seriously, it was like a sport pattern out there. If I missed my mark by a board or two, bad things were going to happen. Usually on a typical house shot, you have a couple boards of leeway. I dropped my average of 220, to 215 after tonight. I hope not to drop it anymore.

Only won 2 out of 5 possible points too. So Mike and Joyce are just one game behind us.
