    Red face Finally broke 200

    Guys I finally did it! To top it off it was in league, my first two games of league where low scores, because the ball wasn't returning the way I needed it to, I was using 2 hands during those 2 games, Something in my head said to try out 1 hand again... The results were amazing, ended up getting my personal record of 217. Not only that, but my number of consecutive strikes also is now a striking 5 in a row. I should of had 6, but a stone 7 pin. I've noticed that on my 3rd game, I had more hook on my release and power so it equally matched out, I was throwing 15mph.
    First game, ( 2 hands)
    8- 8 1 8 / 8 - X 4 1 7 1 8 / 7 2 7 - = 104

    2nd game ( 2 hands)

    6 1 3 5 7 2 X 9 / 7 2 X 7 - 8 - 7 2 = 111

    3rd Game ( 1 hand 2 fingers)
    X X X X X 9 - 9 / X X 6 1 = 217

    I played 2 games after practice, and using the same approach got,
    187, 176.
    Before I'm flamed about throwing with 2 hands is wrong.., I would like to say I have maintained a 150 average with it, just today it wasn't working for me. I'm staying with 1 hand technique although.

    still haven't got my Reckless yet :/
    so putting my thumb in the ball right now is not possible, the thumb hole is too far away
