75Lockwood's Bowling Scores!

[75lockwood]

Had a nice long practice session today

started off practicing corner pins:
23,54,48,44 <-- pro bowling lol

Then worked on footwork
98,124,130

By this point the already dry lanes were burnt so bad when i threw a 10lb house-ball straight up 10 with no axis rotation it went Brooklyn lol so i did some practice on coast to coast and found i suck pretty bad at it
132,129,145,210 (don't know how i did that),153

nice day of practice for new years eve. oh, did i mention? it was cosmic the entire time... lol

[75lockwood]

So, i went for some practice today and found out that it was cosmic (ugh) it started out with me waiting while the birthday party next to me stood on my lane and took pictures......


anyway after they left the lights stayed off but i got 4 good games of coast to coast practice in.


I started out with a 148 while trying to find the line, the biggest issue i've had with coast to coast is pulling the ball (i did a lot of this)

Second game: found a line and figured out the adjustment to not pull the ball, i ended up with a 209 finally think I'm getting decent at coast to coast. 2 more games of coast to coast at 182, 187, then i started spare shooting.

43,19(was nailing 10 and 7 pins), 33, 25.

great session of practice, but i don't think it should count for my first game of the year, save that for league tomorrow (after i expand my arsenal)

So, today was the day, i got the NeXXXus Drilled, and man does the ball hit like a truck, the pro shop had Abbey road set up on two lanes and off i went, first game was a 149, and i was playing way further inside than i should have been, moved right to the played 18 to 5 and wow the ball was the ball nailing the pocket, 217, 199 to end off the three game series

Had a lot of fun and loving the NeXXXus right now

Learned the limits of the marauder on burnt up conditions....

192,189,112

will definitely need a lower end ball....

put two coats of high gloss on that marauder, and it will still cook!!!! (on dry lanes)

actually, it turns out the NeXXXus works amazing on dry lanes, its drilled to go long, and given it's already a pearl it seems to completely ignore the early friction and hit the pocket like a truck.

Loving it, Thanks again (and again) bowlingboards!

wasn't sure if i should bother posting this....

got out of school early today so i walked to the bowling ally, only to remember i had taken my bowling shoes home to clean.... so i bowled 3 games with house shoes!

good lord was that uncomfortable after so long with my own shoes...

137,145,124 for a whooping 406 series... haven't shot that bad in a fair while lol man do i love having my own shoes.

Friday night league went rather terrible, during the second game i managed to pull my hamstring so i spent the rest of the night without and real approach. i ended up shooting a 446 series with 169, 145, 132. it

I wasn't sure i whether i would go to youth league Saturday morning, but my leg was feeling better when i woke up and I'm glad i did. After last night i finally decided to stop planting and teach myself to slide, and it went really well. the first game i shot a 166 while getting used to the slide and finding a line that worked with the reduced rev's i was putting on the ball, in the second and third games i did a lot better shooting 205 and 221 respectively for a 592 series! still haven't gotten that second 600 series, but i seem to get damn close a lot lol

By the way, is anyone actually reading this? LOL

Yes, I read it. I don't normally respond to score postings but I read them all.
Your revs will return once you get use to sliding. Part of the drop off is trusting where you will stop sliding at.
