Vdubtx's bowling scores

[vdubtx]

FTLOB, I use my Disturbed on Tuesday nights as it has been working really well. Might consider getting another, but can make one of my other balls work for me if need be whenever the time comes to retire it.

Game 1 came in late just after practice had finished so went in cold, but was fine and started with the front 4 and ended with a clean game and a 257!
Game 2 started off in much the same fashion as game 1 with a few frames where I increased my speed unnecessarily and left a 4-8 in one frame and then a 10 pin in 9th frame which I missed. Then struck out in 10th frame for a 234.
Game 3 started with front 5 then picked my speed up for a frame and left a 2 pin. Next time up not wanting to get too fast, got too slow and went through the nose leaving Big 4, which I then proceeded to chop the 6 pin not even getting the 10. Then struck until last ball of fill frame leaving a 6 pin for a 251.

257-234-251 = 742

All in all a great night with 2 open frames and just kills me that I missed a 10 pin. Have been really good at those lately. As a team we took all 4 with our anchor edging me out this week by 2 pins.

Thanks Circlecity. How have you been bowling, haven't seen many updates on scores since you set a new personal best.

Thursday fun league and had another nice night of bowling.

Game 1 with Hyper Cell started with a double then got ball inside too far in the oil and it just scooted down the lane for a light hit and left a 2-10 split, proceeded to pick it up though Followed that up with the next 5 before going a bit high flush and leaving a 4 pin. Struck out in 10th frame for a nice start and a 257.

Game 2 started with strike, then dropped speed and went high leaving 3-6-9-10, smashed the pocket and not sure which pin it was, but it moved into the 5 pin spot and was spinning around and wiggling, but did not fall. Light next time up, likely compensating for last time on this lane when I went high and left 2-4-8 and left the 8 pin standing on the conversion. Turkey before going heavy again from ball speed and leaving 4-6-7. Turkey and then 4-7 in the fill for a 204.

Game 3 started with turkey, then smash pocket but leaving 2 back row pins 7 and 8, which I converted. Ran off the next 5 and with possibility of maybe winning the game for the team, I left a bucket and picked 2 off of the conversion try. Was already mad at myself for not making a better shot and kept my shot in the oil too long and my ball just slid down the lane with not enough time to make the move to take all 4 pins out and a 240 to end the night.

257-204-240 = 701

All in all a good night, was in pocket most of the night, but my ball speed at times got the best of me. Sometimes slow, other times when I tugged and kept ball inside the oil going light. To my surprise, I did not leave a 10 pin all night. This house and from my prior weeks is notorious for 10 pin leaves. Split shooting was actually better than my multi-pin spare conversion rate on the night, only 33% on my multi pins, but 66% on my splits, LOL.
Ah well, next week.

Bowling a 4 man team tournament this weekend. $3000 guaranteed for 1st place. We have a good team built and hope to place in it.

I have been bowling pretty good. My average is bouncing around 217-219 still. I got another job as a local beat writer(reporter.) So I have kinda have 2 jobs and household stuff so I really haven't put any time to this site anymore. I read some once in a while but not like I was before.

Just a blah night. No carry and couldn't hold my line or speed for much of the night.

Game 1 starts of in grand fashion missing the head pin entirely land leaving 1-2-4, double, 10 pin, 2-7, 1-8, super washout where I proceeded to only pick out 2 pins, strike, 6-10, double in 10th with a 2-8-7 in the fill. Like I said, all over the darned place and a 194.

Game 2 starts out looking better, seems like I pulled my head out of my arse and start with a strike, and then the carry issues begin 10 pin, 9 pin, double, get way too fast and ball just sails down the lane leaving 1-2, 4 bagger before going light again leaving 2-4-8 in fill frame for a 234.

Game 3 starts with 10 pin, turkey, fast again 2-4-10, 2-5, double, 10 pin, 10 pin in 10th and then for good measure another 10 pin in the fill LOL and a 212.

I know it wasn't the ball all night, and was certainly me and my horrible speed management on the night. Those last 3 10 pins, had they not been at the end of the game, certainly would have prompted me to make a ball change. Was hard to change ball up knowing I was all over.

194-234-212 = 640

Ah well, next time.

Thursday night fun league.

Practice started out not so great, which for me typically means by my last ball of practice I have found where the miss area is. If I start striking on my first ball and all after that in practice, I am usually in for some trouble. Not sure why, but that seems to be what happens.

Game 1 started with the front 8 before I went a little fast on speed and left the 2-8, 10 pin in 10th and another 10 pin in the fill for a nice 266.

Game 2 started out with the front 5 before laving a 10 pin, doubled and then bit of speed picked up leaving a bucket which lately I have been having trouble converting, left the 5 pin standing. Punched out in 10th for a 243.

Game 3 started with turkey before leaving a nice pocket 7-10 split. Ran off the next 5 before leaving another 2-8(my 3rd bad shot of the night) and finally a strike to end the night and a nice 242.

266-243-242 = 751

All in all a great night. Had good carry, couple messengers taking out 10 pins and only 3 bad balls all night that were not flush in the pocket. Made a couple adjustments due to 10 pins left standing and also to nearly leaving 10 pins to keep up with some transition. Was actually moving right vs. moving left tonight. On to next week.
