Tuesday Night league:

Rough night of carry for me. Was in the pocket pretty much all night and just did not have good carry. Seems like the other team would barely hit pocket or go high and got all the carry for the night.

Game 1 - bit too much speed 2-8, strike, 2 pin, 2-5, double, smash 9, strike, pocket 7-10 split, 10 pin and strike in the fill and was only able to muster a 195 game out.

Game 2 - struck, 10 pin, bit slow going high and a 4-7, ran off the next 7 before being stopped by a 10 pin and a 257 game.

Game 3 - struck, slow going right through the nose 4-6-7-10, struck, 10 pin, turkey, 2-8, 10 pin, strike, 10 pin to finish out with a 199.

195-257-199 = 651

6 danged 10 pins on the night, all converted. Pocket 7-10 always tick me off, almost had another but the 7 was kicked out late.

Extremely rough night for me. Left lane the head pin was just off to the left of center, and right lane the 3 pin was just to the right of it's spot. I have told the center before they needed to fix this pair as the hand dryer barely works either. Seems they just don't care.

In any case, with those 2 offset pins, there were some weird leaves but that wasn't the only thing. I was just a bit off on my shots tonight too, so compound those things together and it doesn't equal anything good.

Game 1 started with a strike, 7 pin, double then one of those weird leaves a 4-8 which I got too fast with on attempt and picked off the 8 pin, 6-10, turkey before leaving a 4 pin and flagging it. Doh! 203

Game 2 started with 4-6-7, 10 pin, turkey, another weird leave 4-7-8, strike, 2-4-8-10, 3-6, double and 10 pin in the fill for a 201.

Game 3 10 pin, 7 pin, double, another weird 4-7-8, strike, and get this... a 3-4-10 split(how is that for the weird leave?), greek church (face palm), strike, 10 pin and strike in fill for a lowly 180.

203-201-180 = 584

This was only my second sub 600 series in this house in at least 18 months. Gonna talk to the center manager again about the off spot pins as that really wreaked havoc on pin carry, for not only me, but all of us on the pair.

It must be nice when your bad night is still a 580+ series!!! that must really stink with the pins being off set good luck next week.

Sounds like a tough time, when the lanes are not right it's really frustrating! Hopefully they'll get the mechanic working on getting those problems fixed !

Shot pretty well tonight. Atleast it feels that way anyway.

205-290-230 = 725

The 290 was put up in the worst possible way....Front 11 and then gutter.





Disturbed was in pocket all of game 1, but was just not kicking out the corners. Switched to First Blood and struck out in 10th frame.

In game 2 ran off the next 11 before guttering. I don't even remember what actually happened and how I dumped it, I just know I was in my stance, started my approach with my eyes on my target down lane, my arm swings and the ball proceeds to drop in the gutter about 35 feet down the lane. Ball hits something in the channel and pops back up on the lane.

Game 3, after that embarrassment, had the front 5 and then smashed the pocket leaving a 7-9 split.

Great games / series
Sorry to hear about that 12th frame, nice comeback to finish out the last game strong, that's a tough way to lose a 300 game.

I posted on here earlier that I actually saw somebody do that with the final ball of a perfect game. In his case, he smacked his leg and the ball immediately dropped in the gutter.

Just shake it off and laugh about it vdub....you're still one of the best bowlers on here.

Thanks Bubba. Yea, that is about all I could do was laugh at the situation. Funny to see after the ball jumped out of the gutter and what it left standing on the lane. It left the 1-5-7-10 LOL.

Thursday Fun League

Back at it again tonight. Thought all yesterday and today about my gutter ball moment and what the heck did I do. One of my team mates told me tonight that I slipped on the approach and my right shoulder was way lower than normal. Guess the helps explain my gutter.

Game 1 was on it, had the front 10 before going slightly high leaving a 4 pin and a nice start to the night with a 289.

Game 2 started with a 10 pin, got a little quick the next few frames leaving a bucket and a 2-5(which I then picked off the 5), another 10 pin, turkey, 7 pin, pocket 7-10(ugh!), 7 pin again then strike in the fill for a 188.

Game started strike, 4 pin, turkey, 10 pin, turkey, 10 pin, 4-9 in the fill for a 236.

289-188-236 = 713

4/4 on 10 pins. Only make-able open was the 2-5.
