    Because I tend to work on things while practicing, my scores are not terribly high in practice. That is okay though, as I am not looking for scores anyhooo.

    I too shouldn't be posting to this thread since I don't keep an average for my practice bowling. Since I usually throw one game of low ball and one of shooting at each key pin in turn, it would be pretty low.

    I keep score of all my practices since I'm not in a league yet. I try to focus on staying consistent when the pressure is on. If I bowl more than 3 games...the first 1 or 2 doesn't count as I'm usually practicing 7s or 10s or my technique, then I get serious with my last 3 games.

    I definitely plan to work more on my spares next time out. I usually shoot at least one game of just 10 pins. Maybe I'll do MUCH more next time. After that I usually play like a normal game trying to make transitions and work on things a little during the game. Although I keep score, it's done on my phone and I look at things later like spares, etc.

    I usually practice 5 games, 1 game before my league. It takes me awhile to warm up. Then 4 games after the league, but we usually play for $$$ so I don't get much practice at all.

    My average in pratice is not relevant. I open with release and fouu line drills that result in gutter balls. I roll for specific pin leaves, like 3-9 against a full rack. I bowl 7 and 10-pin spares against a full rack. I finish off with 2 - 3 regular strike balls for integration sake.
    I live by three simples rules:

    2. Never discuss business at the table
    3. Don't ever side with anyone against the family

    During practice I try a few different things but I have been able to average a 167 during practice with a high game of 255. I was on fire that game and everything was working right. My league average is a 165 and high game of 234. So my averages are closer but with the last two weeks being horrible, my league average might have dropped.
