I would say, interesting. The "Sport" shot was supposed to be same pattern for 4 weeks and then move to another. Each and every week the pattern has played very differently. I will chalk this up to the center(AMF) not being able to know their a$$ from a hand basket. First and last time I join a league at an AMF center. Not the type of challenge I was wanting for the summer.Originally Posted by circlecity
Scoring has still been ok, but, nothing note worthy as I went into it as practice for the summer any way.

I'm only averaging 171 on the sport shot but they change the pattern every 3rd week. I would average higher if it was just the same pattern over and over again like THS. 2 things it has helped me with is playing the gutter and more practice at shooting directly at spares. Double wood spares are very hard on sport shots.

Tonight for our position round, they actually got the lanes right. Last of the 4 weeks on Kegel Autobahn pattern and the only week it played the way it is supposed to. Next week on to the Route 66 pattern for 4 weeks to finish up the league.

Game 1 had 6 strikes, 2 8 pins and a 10 pin along with a 3-6-9-10 and a 2-10 split for a 211
Game 2 had 9 strikes a 10 pin, 6-10(which I chopped the 6 pin) and a 9 pin for a 238
Game 3 had 5 strikes, a 6-10, bucket which I managed to leave the 5 pin standing, 9 pin, and 3 10 pins for a 191
211-238-191=638
For the sport shot last night I decided to just give my Uproar a try and it seemed to work really well. Skidded enough through the heads and then revved up. As long as I hit my mark which was about 9-10 30 feet down lane, I was pocket. Couple time I tugged it and went up about 13-14 and it held going much straighter, because of the tug it gave it some more speed as well to help it not over react.

Nice shooting on sports! Don't push that knee!! I can't wait to bowl a sports pattern! I am sure It will be a humbling experience, but a learning on!
TAKE CARE OF THAT KNEE!!!!
Don't walk on Thin Ice!
Thanks ICEMAN. Yes, been taking it very easy on it.
Sport shots can definitely be humbling. Several weeks there I had some very poor series. Think lowest was a 450 something or other. In the end though, I think I am more accurate as you have to be on the Sport Shots. 1-2 boards outside or inside and you are either not making it back to the pocket, or going through the nose. Very fine line.

We were on Route 66. The league wasn't a PBA Experience league, wish it was though.
