    It's actually more likely to shoot triplicates when shooting games like 230's, than when shooting games like 160's.

    With 230's, there are less opportunities to lose pin count.

    237 is a common score with 9 strikes, and 3 9 count spares.

    The 239 is more rare score because it's probably a game like 270, / X / X X X X... with another 9/ in there somewhere.

    It was the last digit in the scores that Billf used to post that raised the BS detector for me.

    Games like 273, and 262 just don't happen very often.

    Although I did see a 262 the other day... The guy went X 9- X X X X X X X X X 4 (left a 3-4-6-7-9-10)

    Not a good start to the Fall season in my Tuesday league.

    The 10 pin really killed me last night. Left 7 of them(1 was a fill). Something was just not right with me shooting at the pesky pin, I only converted 1 of them. Each time I missed about 1 foot into the channel in front of the pin. Still cannot believe it. I have never missed the 10 pin so badly in one session.

    220-164-205 = 589

    9.27 first ball average and no splits. Smashing the pocket pretty well. Just couldn't get the 10 kicked out enough times.

    Need to get in a good practice session at this particular house. Had not had one shot here since back in May.

    Oh well, on to next week.

    Wow vdub, I remember when I was having trouble trouble with ten pins last year and you said it was one of your strongest pins to pick up. Then, more recently, I remember you saying how you will shoot a full game of nothing but 10 pins. Maybe you jinxed yourself lol.

    For you, I'm gonna have to say it was more of an anomaly than any type of pattern. I just hope I didn't just now jinx myself, as my league starts tonight!

    ICEMAN feels your pain,,,,! I can't say I NEVER miss them,,,, I am real spotty, as in potty! Some times I will get them, other times maybe 50/50, other times lucky to get ONE!



    As the pin is looking at you, along with all your teammates, it seems to say: "Feel lucky punk!,,,,,

    I really think its a HEAD THING! I know people on house oil that say the 7 pin is tough. I never miss it,,, once in a blue moon! ( Again on house oil)

    You would think a person would be consistent with their percentages, not like ICEMAN above!!???!!!

    some times, not often a piece of cake, other times, a rotten, bad, decayed, putrid, spoiled piece of painted wood! Maybe the most hated thing in a bowling alley on league night! So hated, that even a mother couldn't love it!!

    Yeah, definitely an anomaly. To miss even 2 in one night is pretty few and far between, but to miss 5 is just nuts. This past year I have really worked at it and converting at a rate of 91%. Last season, missed it a total of 20 times. To have missed it 25% of that number already is not a good sign of things to come. LOL!

    Shot this yesterday. Missed the first 10 pin got mad messed my timing up threw a gutter then missed another one. Wasn't sure if I should be happy with a decent score or pissed from missing the spares.

    Another night on the lanes for week 2 of league.

    Did not have a good look in practice with anything. Stuck with my trusty Disturbed though to begin game 1.

    Game 1 started with front 4, 7 pin, fast leaving 2-5, fast again leaving 2-8, strike, 7 pin, smash 9 and strike in the fill for a nice starting 224.

    Game 2 strike, 10 pin(hallelujah I picked it up), ran off the next 6 before going really fast and really outside leaving 1-2, double and 10 pin in fill for a nice 257.

    Game 3 strike, fast leaving 1-2-4-5, double, smash 5 pin(which was actually a 4 pin that moved over to the 5 pin spot -noone on the pair could believe it), strike, another 5 pin, this time I got inside with higher speed and deserved this one, strike, 4 pin, 4 pin, and 4 pin in the fill for a 207.

    224-257-207 = 688

    As you can tell on the last game, the lanes were really transitioning. Had to keep speed up or would go through the nose. Double edged sword as when I would get it out too far ball didn't have a chance to come back.

    All in all a good night with 30 clean frames. 2 weeks now that I haven't left a split which I am encouraged about.

    Solid night on the lanes last night. Felt good during warm ups with Hyper Cell, as long as I kept my speed in check.

    Game 1 started with a bit of a weak 8 pin, 10 pin(converted), 5 bagger, 10 pin, strike, 10 pin and strike in fill for 238
    Game 2 started with front 5 before leaving a smash 9, ran off another 5 leaving a 10 pin in the fill ball for a nice 278.
    Game 3 started with turkey, 10 pin, 7 pin, strike, 10 pin, 2-5, 10 pin, double and a 4-6-7 for good measure to finish out with a 222.

    238-278-222 = 738.

    Should have changed ball mid way through last game. But, nice start to the league and another 30 clean series. 2nd for the week.

    1st ball avg 9.57!
    Strikes 65%
    9/9 on single pins including 6 of those darned 10 pins.
