    Scratch singles tournament yesterday. Shot pretty well and my last game put me into a cashing position.

    269-216-216-213-193-268 = 1375

    Some poor carry in the middle games made it a grind. 2 splits on the day and 2 missed 10 pin conversions didn't help matters either. Was 14 pins out of match play and settled for 8th place and made my entry fee back. Some great competition out there and I held my own.

    Won the 50/50 pot which is the first time I have ever won.

    Back again today for some Baker doubles action.

    Well the baker doubles didn't go as well as I had hoped. I was just not getting out of the ball very well and tugged a few too many shots hitting high and leaving either a 4-6-7, 6-10 or even crossing over and leaving 5-10 splits, I left two of those on the day. My partner had his moments as well. Uggh! Think I need to invest in another interchangeable thumb or two.

    We ended up 1 place out of the last cashing spot. We did end up making some money on brackets so it wasn't all bad.

    Catching back up:

    Tuesday 03/27 - 253-189-257 = 699
    Thursday 03/29 - 279-200-207= 686
    Thursday 04/05 - 262-173-215 = 650

    I shouldn't have bowled this past Thursday. After a delayed flight out of Rochester from my USBC Open Championships trip, I pulled an all nighter in Baltimore due to missed connection. I was just plain tired after the first game. Back and ready to get into league mode again.

    Solid spare shooting for me this week. Went 30 clean on both of my nights.

    Tuesday 225-207-213 = 645
    Tried to use my new Roto Grip Idol in practice, but it started hooking as soon as it hit the lane. Put it away and used Storm Drive for game 1 and most of game 2 before changing to Roto Grip Haywire.

    Thursday 246-245-268 = 759
    Solid night in my heavier volume house and used the Roto Grip Idol for all 3 games. This ball is strong. Had a beautiful swinging shot standing on about 30 and out to about 5-6 at breakpoint and it made a very strong move to the pocket. In this house it will be my go to ball for sure, sad that leagues are coming to a close though. As long as I get it out on the lane I have no worries about hitting heavy. Anything inside the ball is so strong it will not hold and it hits up a bit high. Didn't have any shots cross over or fear of splits. Had 3 4 pins leaves due to a bit inside on my shot. Very impressed with this ball at the mid price level. Will need to get some video shot of this one in practice this weekend.

    Solid week on the lanes for me this week.

    Tuesday
    247-210-215 = 672
    Used the Idol for game 1 & 2 as it now has some lane shine on it from being used a few games. End of game 2 I was stubborn to make ball change and paid for it leaving split in 9th frame. Changed to Drive and was in pocket the rest of the night, but carry just didn't go my way.

    Thursday
    247-184-244 = 675
    Idol was ball of choice, had a very good look all night long. Tugged the ball three times on the same lane for some reason. Left 3-6-9-10 to start the game and left the 9 pin standing, next time up on same lane left 3-6-10 and picked off the 3 from the leave. Oi Vay!! Next time up on the same lane, greek church....OUCH!

    Good note for the week is 10 pin pick ups were 100%, 10/10.

    Oh well, on to the next week.

    Missed a week of posting scores:

    Tuesday 04/24
    248,256,218 = 722
    Used Sure Lock all 3 games. Hadn't used it in awhile.

    Thursday 04/26
    183,221,223 = 627
    Struggled with pin carry all night long. Missed 10 pin in very first frame of game 1, then missed a 2 pin of all things in 10th frame of game 1. Oi Vay!!

    Tuesday 05/01
    279,195,179 = 653
    Great start to the night and then everything fell apart. Lanes became very over/under and I struggled to get lined back up again. Made moves left, changed speed, changed balls and never found it again.

    As the fall leagues are winding down, I am looking at a sport shot league for the summer. I will also be doing some fit maintenance on all of my equipment. Had my span changed last fall which has worked for me really well, but I still feel something is off. Sometime not getting out of the ball very well and it affects targeting when I am tugging due to it.

    Struggling with carry and also with mental focus in this "fun" league. This will be my last year in this particular league.

    173, 233, 239 = 645
    Game 1 could just not string anything together, a missed 10 pin and a pocket 7-10 put a damper on this one.
    Games 2 and 3, pocket the rest of the night and just could not get 10 pin and others to fall. Adjusting didn't seem to be working either. LOL!!

    Tuesday 05/08
    Was not feeling well, but that is the only excuse I have. I just plain did not show up and one of my worst series of the entire year between my 2 leagues.
    Not much else to be said of this night. Put it in the back of my mind and move on. This was first sub 600 series the entire season in this league. D'OH!!

    Thursday 05/10
    In the pocket 33 of 34 attempts. Struck 23 of those times. Ten, yes ten 10 pins on the night. Good thing out of this is I converted all of them.
    Non pocket shot was high leaving 3-6-10. I need to figure out my speed a little bit as I feel that is the biggest culprit to my 10 pins on the night.
    30 clean for the night. Woohoo!!
