Game 1 I left a smash 8 pin in 5th frame.
Game 2 I was still in pocket until 6th frame on right lane going high and leaving 4-6-10, thought I threw it bad and in 8th frame stayed in same spot, again high 6-7-10(time for a move LOL), Finished out striking and salvaging the 2 opens.
Game 3 the lanes were really starting to transition, I just kept moving left to get deeper and making sure speed was up.

Wednesday League
Great start again on the night. Used the Crux Prime to start. Felt a little off during practice with my thumb feeling like it was not holding the ball real well. I have felt this before and likely need to get another thumb drilled up to help correct this. Likely a pitch change, but for now added an extra piece of tape and it wasn't too bad.
289-258-234 = 781
Game 1 every shot solid in the pocket...until 11th shot where I left a 10 pin. Ball was maybe a little outside and didn't recover enough. Struck to finish it out.
Game 2 Again every shot in the pocket, started with 4 bagger, 10 pin, 4 bagger, 10 pin, strike. I needed 2 marks in 10th to win game for the team. Made it a bit more difficult leaving the 10 pin, but at that point, I needed an 8 count to win in the fill. Won game by 3 pins.
Game 3 strike, 4 pin, 4 bagger, one bad shot on the night got it out and left 2-4-8, double, 4-7 and 10 pin in the fill shot.
30 clean frames and so close to both 300 and 800 again. Better still for the team, is, we took all 4 last night.

Thursday Pepsi Classic league
A bit late posting this, but had the ITRC lesson more on my mind over the weekend.
Our team was going up against two PBA tour players. Anthony Lavery-Spahr and Sean Lavery-Spahr. I was up against Anthony. If you saw the PBA league draft yesterday, you will see Anthony was drafted to be on the LAX team.
196-269-212-210 = 887
Game 1 I was having a bit of trouble getting a consistent reaction on both lanes. Left lane was just fine, it was the right lane where I encountered a hang spot leaving super washouts 2 times in the game. Anthony beat me by only 9 pins.
Game 2 I was lined up really nicely. Left a smash 8 pin to start the game, 4 bagger, then a 10 pin and struck out. I beat Anthony easily on this game with him shooting 231.
Game 3 I started going high and leaving a few 6-10's. Started with 6-10, 4 bagger, 6-10, strike, 6-10, strike and then way too high leaving greek church to finish out. Anthony struggled with a 176.
Game 4 Started with front 5 and then everything fell apart, 6-10 and pick off the 6 pin on conversion attempt, 6-10, 6-10, strike and then left a 6-9-10. On the spare conversion, I picked off the 10 pin only off of it. Crazy!! Anthony shot 225.
I beat him on totals, but I should have won game 3. Kicking myself for that because as a team, we lost totals by only 2 pins. UGH!!
Anthony's brother Sean struggled on the night, he only shot 790!! He was playing super deep at 28 at arrows. When you have as many revs as these guys, it's tough when the lanes are so tore up on our late league.

279-221-242 = 742
Crux Prime was the ball of choice on the night. I really love this ball.
Game 1 front 7 before leaving 10 pin.
Game 2 started with front 5, smash 9 pin, strike, got way too slow big 4, strike, 6 pin and 4-6 in the fill.
Game 3 9 pin to start, 3-10, turkey, 3-9, 4 bagger and 4-7-10 for the ending of 10th.
Started to implement some tweaks from my trip to the ITRC, but need more practice on my last step of my approach and keeping my head steady. Will take a little getting used to that.

Wednesday Nascar league
Struggled mightily on the night. We were in position night and was not the right to time to struggle. Fortunately my team mates carried me for a changeLOL!
We ended up taking 3 for the night and sitting pretty in 1st place with 5 or 6 weeks to go I think.
223-203-182 = 608
The struggle was real and I just could not repeat my shots for a complete game. Just one of those nights.
