Out of all the patterns we play in our PBA league the only one that kills me is cheetah

My avg dropped about 7pins on the three weeks on that pattern when we started that pattern I was at 184 and when we finished at a 177 then after the TOC this week I finished with a 181 a lot better then the 168 from last year
Update from my past week of leagues starting up.
My goals were as follows:
1. Maintain my 225 composite average
2. Shoot another 300
3. Shoot another 800
4. Shoot at least 1900 at Nationals
5. Increase my single pin spare conversion to 95%
6. Not shoot under 600 in both leagues.
My Tuesday league started up on September 2, so I am 2 weeks in now and have already messed up one of my goals for the season.
Last week I shot 572, last night only a 584. Just not feeling comfortable on the lanes lately. Out of practice, hadn't been able to get out at all in the months of July or August. Only bowling I did was the sport shot league. Was good making spares aside from a few splits, but just keeping consistent line for my ball has been my issue. Yep, time to make time to get some practice in and work on my targeting.
I know it will all come back to me, just have to power through the mini "slump" and get back to work.
Thursday night league starts up tomorrow. This is my fun league.

OK start to the season on Thursday nights.
First game I was in the pocket every frame, but, had 4 10 pins to show for it missing one of them. Made adjustments each time as 3 were on same lane. Made ball change in 10th frame to see what that did and worked great, ended game with 205. One of my lowest games being in the pocket each time. Started with Hyper Cell, ended with IQ Fusion.
Game 2 started with turkey, 10 pin, 9 pin, another turkey before leaving another 10. Doubled and left 6 pin to finish out with a 246.
Game 3 started with a stone cold 8, strike, yet another 10 pin, went heavy for the first time tonight leaving a 6-7-10. 4 bagger, 2 pin, then tugged to start the 10th frame leaving a 1-3 then struck in the fill for a 213.
Hard fought 664 series. Darn 10 pin, left it 7 times for the night picking up 6 of them. One of my goals for this season on that pin is to pick it up 95% of the time.

Good shooting. Funny thing about bowling, if you hit the pocket every time you better know how to pick up corner pins to keep your good game going.

Quick recap of my Tuesday night league:
First ball of the night, went high leaving 4-6-7. 4 Bagger, before leaving a 7 pin, double and crossed over head pin leaving 3-6-10, 9 pin and struck to end game with 224
Game 2 started going heavy leaving a 6 pin, double, 6 pin again, struck, 9 pin, 4-7, turkey and another 6 pin in the fill to finish with 226
Game 3 started off pretty good leaving a 4 pin, strike, 10 pin, double, 6-10, 4-6-7, 10 pin, 6 pin, bucket, 6-10 for a 187. Lanes were so crispy last game, I was actually high on team.
224-226-187 = 637
Spare shooting aside from 2 splits was perfect.

Good night for me tonight. Had a nice read on the lanes with my Hyper Cell and barely had to move a half board on each lane.
Game 1 started with a ringing 10 pin, double followed by a pair of 10 pins, converted each of them. Doubled, and went through the nose leaving a 4-6. Turkey then another 10 pin in the fill for a 223.
Game 2 again started with a 10 pin followed by turkey and yet another 10 pin. Then ran off the next 7 to finish out with a 269.
Game 3 started with a double and then yep, you guessed it, another 10 pin. Ran off the next 5 before almost leaving a pocket 7-10 and luckily the 10 was kicked out. 4 pin to start the 10th and then struck to finish out with a 247.
223-269-247 = 739
All in all a very good night. Was in pocket each ball before I missed my mark 1 time leaving that 4-6 and was in pocket every ball afterwards.
Very happy my spares and in particular the 10 pin(6 for 6) were perfect tonight.

Had a good night tonight.
Game 1 started with my First Blood and had four bagger to start before going a bit heavy and leaving 4 pin, dropped my speed and left 4-6 next time up. Punched out with next 6 for a nice 256. 2nd ball of 10th my ring finger insert came out of my ball, happened 2 weeks ago as well with my middle finger insert. Ended up finishing with my Disturbed.
Game 2 stayed with Disturbed and started with turkey, then left a 4 pin. 4 bagger then another 4 pin, strike, 10 pin for a 248.
Game 3 again stayed with Disturbed and again with a turkey to start. Went way heavy luckily only leaving 3-6-10. 4 bagger then a 10 pin, doubled in 10th before leaving a 6-7 in the fill for a nice 254.
256-248-254 = 758
Lanes played really tight tonight. Had to really project the ball down lane. My target with my eyes was literally 45-50 feet down lane. Any closer and was going high through head pin. Did some reading on how to handle lanes with high friction and it helped tonight. Chose the right balls for the conditions and they reacted nicely for me.
Spares were perfect tonight and only one split left.
