Your Goals for the 2013 - 2014 Season

[TCJ]

Since the 2012 - 2013 season (and THREAD) is over (at least for most people) and I don't really consider summer as part of the bowling season, it's time to start a new thread for the coming season's goals. What are yours? As for me, I'm keeping them simple:

• Get my average over 200 again (dropped from 209 to 196 last year).
• Achieve a 175 average left-handed. I'm currently hovering around 160, unofficially.
• Get a 300. I've "missed it by that much" many times, but haven't gotten it yet.
• Be on a team that can actually finish in the top 50%. It'd be nice to be even higher, but I'm trying to keep it realistic.
• Come out ahead in the individual pots that my team does. I did this last year, but two years in a row will be nice.
• Win the monthly King of the Hill tournament. 3rd is my best finish so far.
• Learn to keep consistent balance at the line. I'm getting there, but I still fall off the shot too often.
• Achieve a 180 average on the sport conditions. I know I can shoot close to that on Shark and the other patterns are easier (for me).
• Improve my spare shooting. My ten pin is around 81% right now. I want it up to 90% for this coming year.
• Throw a clean series. Last year my best was 29 frames clean.

200 average (did this in 2 leagues that I didn't bowl the whole season in but want to do it for a full season)
300 Been within one strike a half dozen time (279s) and had a Varipapa 300 last year(756 series)

better control of ball speed. I am very reve dominant and would like to learn to throw with more speed/less revs to control ball action better.

footwork/balance I am putting these together since they are so related. I plan to try to find a local coach to start working with on this part of my game.

My main goal for next year would have to be consistency. That is a HUGE problem for me. So that is my number 1 goal. If i can achieve that the rest should fall in place.
-Avg. 200+ (avg 189 last year)
-Bowl a 300 (many close games)
-Bowl a 750+ . . . i think 800 is a little out of reach
-BE CONSISTENT!!!!!!

My goals are not that bad....
I just don't want to suck!

If there is any goal I set for myself is to cash in tournaments.
Last year was pretty good. Hoping to repeat this year.

I'm counting this summer as my next season. Looks like I'll be moving from Denton to Ft. Worth around September/October so I'll be late joining a fall league (hoping that I can find one with an open spot for me!)

So this summer I hope to
1. top my personal best game of 266
2. Get a 700 series
3. get a series with no open frames

I'm also hoping to join a PBA Experience league, I see there is one at my home alley starting later this month. I have to see how long it runs and if it's 12 weeks or so, I'm totally doing it! I just dont want to be in a league that I have to drop out of near the end due to me moving.
