Thread: Screwed up my 600 series...

    I hae actually made it a habit of not turning on the scoreboard when I practice. I can't do it at every alley I go to, but I can at my home lanes. I started bringing a notepad, and writing down each shot. Did I hit my marks, did I slide to the right spot, where did the ball break, in the pocket or not. Sometimes taking the score out of the game helps a lot.

    Should I use the notepad during league or only practice?
    I have taken a notepad a couple of times when I went to practice, but my notes were more like..
    Stand on 19th board Aim at 10th board, control revs

    I'll take notes on certain splits, and how to get the 7 pin, my 7 pin notes aren't 100% yet. My 7 pin average is still pretty low. :/

    There are several bowling apps that will allow you to not only track each shot but will give you percentages on how you're doing on every pin,spare you shoot. Go to the app store and you'll find them. They're cheap and can be of great help.

    You want to talk about blowing a 600, I got u beat. I bowled a 153 first game. So I blew it first game right? Nope, second game I found my line, and went 244. Needed a 203 for my 600 (I bowled a 207 and a 223 in practice that day) and I knew I could do it. It came down to the 10th frame. I needed two strikes and good.count, and I had my first 600 of the season. First ball, strike, second, flush hit, left the 10 pin. 197. For a 594 series. Sucks.

    I have an app on my Android for my leagues, it's called BowlingScorekeeper, it's free. I saw someone posted yesterday, or sometime about PinPal, I think it was, that one costs $8.99.

    I also use a site called bowlsk.com, and from what I've seen of PinPal, these two have a lot in common. Except, youd' have to use bowlsk in a browser.
