I never understood how people can tell the pins are offset by 1/2' or an inch. But this is yet another thing that separates the good bowler from the great bowlers.

VDub is like the 6 million dollar man and can hear the pin as it is set down and can use his bionic eye to see where it's actually sitting.Originally Posted by bubba809
Little known fact: When VDub bowls in houses where the pin is set down in the proper spot...he averages a mere 153.
Could be more than 1/2". Don't know, but when you can look at a rack and actually see the pin offset you know there is a problem.
Coincidentally, we were on lanes 5 & 6 last night.

Tuesday night Sportsman:
Started off trying to get a good feel for my new thumb system. Got the VISE IT system put in on Saturday but did not have a chance to bowl any games with it. When I was getting the thumb fitted one was tight and the second felt pretty good. I think because I was using my thumb so much that morning going in and out of the thumb to get a good fit I swelled up a bit. The "smaller one" felt OK when I started to use it last night. IT's still a little bit tight, but not overly so. I forget who it was that mentioned to not change my spare ball out, and in hind sight I likely should have listened as it was a pain in the rear changing out the thumb when I needed to go to it. In the end, I put my 2nd larger thumb in it just to avoid that. Bone headed move on my part, but oh well. Too late now.
Game one did not start out so well. 10 pin converted successfully, then zipped right past the 6 pin(for a perfect 10 pin pick up) the next frame. Put a few things together going really light on right lane leaving a bucket. Disturbed was just not finishing well this first game. 189
Game 2 I gave Disturbed 2 frames to see what would happen and left smash 9 and a 10 pin. Enough and brought out Hyper Cell to get some better reaction and for most part it worked great, put together 6 of 7 strikes up until 10th frame after the change. Got way outside in 10th frame leaving another bucket and 235.
Game 3 proved that the ball change was a good one. With exception of the 2nd frame where I tugged the ball a bit leaving greek church, I was smashing the pocket. 255
189-235-255 = 679

Had you just thrown the Hyper Cell all night...you'd have had a 700.
Just Sayin.
Maybe, but, if I had just picked up that 6 pin and 10 pin in 1st game I would have had 700.

Rough night last night. Never felt that I was throwing the ball real well.
Made some really bad shots on spare conversions as well. Missed the easy ones and made a difficult one, go figure. Was just one of those nights.

After bowling in the morning at the US Open, decided I should go ahead and make it to league. Our anchor was also bowling the Open, he was on B squad and wouldn't make it in time for league.
Had a very good night. Felt the tighter lane playing at the US Open certainly helped.
214-256-267 = 737
1 single open from tugging ball slightly and leaving 4-6-7.
With 4 of us bowling this night, and our anchor put in as a blind. We took over the scratch high game and scratch high series for the season.
Games of 1118-1023-1268 = 3409
Last game, we went 202(anchor blind), 264,279,255,267

Looks like bowling in non-pro events is going to seem boring.
