Great way to start off!
Week 1 in the books for my Tuesday night league. This summer aside from Nationals, I barely picked up a bowling ball. I practiced maybe 2 times in the past few months since getting back from Reno. So, going into last night, I had zero expectations of how I was going to do. I was pleasantly surprised with my performance. Helped our newly formed team out to win 4 last night. We used to be the highest average team and were always the ones people gunned for. Couple personal issues with our captain and the majority decided to boot him. We reformed and have a better balanced team with a lower average bowler(165) to give us some more handicap and also a couple mid average, 195-200 bowlers along with my 227. Balanced out nicely I think, but will see as the season progresses. I expect the 165 bowler to increase average as we get into season.
Anywho, almost a 30 clean for me. Opened in frame 30 with a leave that has been haunting me for some reason. Have never had an issue with this one until it crept up on me while in Reno. Seem to regularly pick off the 10 from a 6-10 leave.
260-245-256 = 761
Hope all are doing well. Good luck for your season.

Nice set Vdub. How much are you adjusting from the 10 pin to the 6-10?Originally Posted by vdubtx

Thank you. From my spot for 10 pin pick up I move right just a few boards.

Tip from my coach keep your target the same move right 1 board it's improved my percentage on it. Most people over adjust for the leave.

I keep the same target and move right 4 boards. The 6, 10 is probably my most consistent multi pin spare conversion.

People say try to chop it. Chances are you'll end up never chopping it if you try to. Of course you could also end up whiffing at both pins
Thanks. Yea, that's the thing though, something mentally about that combination for some reason for me. Susie Minshew is my coach and I have quoted and posted about her article that covers this very thing. In my last lesson with her, I picked off the 10 pin the same way as I did last night multiple times. I will just have to get some more practice at it in the coming weeks. I haven't changed anything else with my spare shooting and my 10 pin conversions are getting better.
