Horrible night
I went to league and was feeling good till the first game ended... I couldnt hit the broad side of a barn. I missed single pins splits and if everything fell over I managed some how to miss it lol... I just coudlnt peice anything together last night. I shot 130 146 16o something... I was so not happy and what made it worse was we of course some how only managed to loose three but my partner shot hella good with a 700 series first time he did it in league so of course I was happy for him but irritated we lost due to me not bowling as good as I can... All through league we knew it was my speed on the ball I just some how couldnt manage to get it down to normal...So all in all it didnt get no better cause after league I stay to practice to shoot a freaking 607 im like really where was this in league... partner was like yeah i should stab you in your eye lol... anyways thats how sunday league not went

we all have a bad night here or there but the thing you should of done was if you want to slow down your throw is slow down your feet but when you start having a bad game try not to think of the game but think of what you can do to fix it.
i use to always think of it when i was shooting bad and always missing spares and it would get into my head and mess up all my game, then i learned to stop thinking of my shots and think about what i want to get and then of how to get it.

Sounds familiar, I had pretty much the same thing Thursday night. Worst part is waiting a week for a shot at redemption. For me, it happens every time I'm felling good, and I am hot going into my league. Makes me want to put my stuff away for good, and go back to racing RC cars.
Trying not to suck, one day at a time.
Those are excellent games! In Sport league last year I bowled a 95,100,110,105,120,130 for most of the year. Now that I have corrected 95% of my problems,i'm bowling 150 and above in Sport and 180 on THS.

Bowling can be a frustrating game. January 12 on league night I bowled a 220, 214 and a 247. I pre-bowled for our January 26th league
night because I was having arthroscopic knee surgery on the Friday of the 25th. I started out with a 161. Lanes were dry as dust and I had a hard time finding the pocket and picking up single pin spares. I didn't give up though. Sometimes when you start out bad you try harder and make things worse. Then you blow all three games. I ended up playing deeper then I usually do but it worked out. It turned out that is where I had to be to hit the pocket. Plus I was able to figure out where to stand to pick up those single pin spares on the dry as dust lanes. Second game was 190 and the third was a 183. So instead of getting mad at your first game use your head and think about where you should target to hit the pocket and make adjustments for those single pin spares. So come up with a plan to make things better instead of getting mad. Tense muscles will make for shots that aren't accurate which means too much speed so the ball won't break at the right point or pulled shots that will miss those single pin spares that we should hit. Bad games happen to everyone. Life is the same way, not every day is a good day for us. You just have to work through it and before you know it you will be wondering how you are getting so many strikes and making almost all of your spares. NEVER GIVE UP THE SHIP.
Everybody has those nights. I'm averaging (or was) 228 on Mondays. Just shot 116, 209, 234. Talk about not being able to hit the broad side of a barn, I couldn't find the farm the barn is on!

I don't know which is worse, not being able to figure out what's wrong, or knowing what's wrong and not being able to fix it.
