    Thursday Pepsi Classic Trios

    Had a great night on the same pair of lanes that I was on this past Tuesday. I fared better than I did on Tuesday night. I think the focus is just there more on Thursday nights since it is a much more competitive league and it means something when I am bowling against someone and gives us a point for beating opponent each and every game.

    228-262-243-266 = 999

    So danged close to finishing out another 1000 series in this 4 game late league. Have been throwing it really well the last 5 weeks in this league.

    Game 1 started with 4 bagger, did not hit ball on release and it just sailed down the lane leaving a super washout 1-2-4-6-10 and only got 3 on conversion attempt, strike, pocket 7-10, 4 bagger and 10 pin in the fill. Got my point by 14 pins.

    Game 2 started with the front 8 before getting the ball slow and in(never a good combination) and left the big 4, struck out.

    Game 3 Turkey to start, 4-9 which I converted, bucket, turkey, 10 pin and struck out

    Game 4 started with front 6, 10 pin, 4 pin, turkey and an 8 count with a 3-6 on fill ball.

    That 8 count cost me the 1000 series again. LOL!! I am certainly not complaining of feeling down about it. Just very happy to be bowling so well. Gonna keep taking it one shot at a time.

    Oh, and the ball of choice for last night was my trusty Roto Grip Haywire for all 4 games.

    Sportsman Tuesday league

    What started out as a nice set, ended with a resounding thud. LOL!!

    232-256-168 = 656

    After game 2 using my Physix, I saw some over/under reaction with it and decided to make a ball change. The ball I decided to change to was my Hyper Cell Fused. Struck first shot with it, but then had trouble every shot after. I either got slow or got it too far down lane....just generally all over the place. Epic Fail!

    Oh well, on to tonight.

    Wednesday night league

    Another pretty good night on the lanes. Had a couple bad shots where I tugged or didn't hit ball at the bottom. Not hitting the ball is likely my most common mistake. I really need to work on that when I get some coaching soon.

    223-236-256 = 715

    4 weeks in a row with 700+ in this league. Unfortunately the first game put me out of the eliminator.
    In practice started with Physix and saw too much friction as it went high every shot I made. Switched to Winner Solid and that gave me a good look for all 3 games.

    Game 1 started strike, 4 pin, turkey, tug for 3-6-10 twice, double, 6 pin, strike to finish out.
    Game 2 started with 4 bagger, pair of 10 pins, double, 7 pin, 4 pin and strike to finish.
    Game 3 started with front 8, missed hitting at the bottom of swing and left 2-10 split going light, 2 pin to start 10th and strike to finish.

    Can't complain one bit other than about myself when I tugged or didn't hit bottom of swing. All on me.

    Thursday Pepsi Classic Trios

    Bit of a rough ending to my night. Started out pretty good with some nice games and beating my opponent by just 1 pin in game 1 and almost 100 pins in game 2. Games 3 and 4 it seemed nothing was working for me. Ball changes and different lines worked for a few shots and then went away. Some very fast transitions needed and missed a few of them. LOL!! Had a cut on my middle finger open up on my first knuckle which was a bit of a bother on the night, but I powered through it.

    238-233-175-194 = 840

    Games 1 and 2 were both clean.
    Game 3 was clean until 8th frame when I left 3-6-7-10 and then a big 4 in 10th.
    Game 4 aside from a really weird 5-7 split in 2nd frame and then a 2-8 in 10th frame was clean. Was in pocket every shot until 10th frame. Just no carry to speak of.

    Oh well, team did well and we won 18 of 30 points on the night placing us in 9th place for the 2nd third of our league. 1st third we were in 12th place. We are 6th place overall for the season.

    No bowling for me next week, I will be travelling for work.

    Look forward to what March will bring. I am going for coaching sessions for my birthday I think. I think I will give the USBC's ITRC a try for coaching and see how that goes. Very interested to see what they find with my game and what tweaks they can suggest for me.

    Back at it this week after having a full week off from leagues due to work travel.

    Tuesday Sportsman league

    231-202-205 = 638

    Game 1 started out pretty well, 10 pin to start, 5 bagger, 10 pin, bucket, over compensated from bucket leaving 4-5-7, struck out.
    Game 2 strike, 10 pin, strike, slow leaving 4-6-7-9, double, 10 pin, 10 pin, 8 pin, double and 10 pin to finish out.
    Game 3 double, 2 pin, 10 pin, strike, 10 pin which I missed, 6-7-10, 4 bagger to finish.

    Picked up another new ball, the Storm Crux Prime. I keep winning balls on line, which I am certainly not going to complain about. Dropped it off at my driller and picked it up just before league started. Specs on the ball are a 4" pin and the mass bias is kicked way out vs. more of a stacked layout as on my Physix. See some pics below.

    Might be hard to see how far the MB is pushed out to the right, but here we go.






    Physix with the MB closer to stacked layout and closer to thumb.
    This one rolls really nice and smooth.

    Wednesday league

    Started out using the Crux Prime.

    239-202-259 = 700

    Game 1 double to start, 7 pin, strike, 4-9 which I converted , strike, another 7 pin, struck out with 5 bagger.
    Game 2 started with double and then more of the back row pins started to show up, 8 pin, 9 pin, 9 pin, 10 pin which I missed, 4-6 split, made a ball change to Physix and got a turkey and then a 2-8 in the fill to finish out.
    Game 3 stuck with the Physix, strike to start, got slow with a 3 pin, 4 bagger, 9 pin, 5 bagger to finish out.

    In retrospect, when I started leaving back row pins in game 2 I should have changed ball sooner. Could just be bad luck on the run of 4 back row pins, but next shot showed me it's more likely the Crux Prime was bit too strong on the conditions.

    Thursday Pepsi Classic

    Had a good night overall and felt like I was throwing the ball really well. I was getting to the pocket, but was just not getting the carry I would have liked.

    183-212-236-206 = 837

    Game 1 started with Physix
    Strike, 10 pin, barely high with 4-10, strike, 7 pin, 10 pin, strike, 8 pin, strike, changed to Haywire on right lane left 10 pin, 4-7 in the fill.

    Game 2 started with Hyper Cell Fused on right lane to see if that gave me a different look and threw it bad.
    1-2-4-10 to start, strike, 4-6-7-10, strike, back to Haywire on right lane and strike and first double of the night, 9 pin, double, 4 pin, strike out.

    Game 3 stuck with Physix on left lane - Haywire on right.
    6-9-10, 10 pin, put Physix away and using just Haywire now, 6 pin, 5 bagger, 7 pin, 6 pin, and striek in the fill.

    Game 4 stuck with Haywire
    4-7-10, 4 bagger, 10 pin, strike, 10 pin(did not convert), strike, 6-10 and strike in the fill.

    15/16 on makeable spares with 3 split mixed in for a pretty good night I felt. Was able to keep ball in play most of the shots that I kept my speed in check.
    I did notice on my 10 pin miss in the last game, the miss was exactly the same way I missed on Tuesday and Wednesday night. Seemed the ball hung up on my thumb just a bit and it went just barely left of 10 pin on the tries. Will have to check my thumb and maybe open it up a bit more.

    On to next week.

    Tuesday Sportsman league

    Started the night out with Crux Prime. Tried it and Halo in practice and Crux was finishing much better.

    242-220-245 = 707

    Game 1 started out really well with turkey, left a 7 pin which I missed(first one all season long after 244 games). 4 bagger, went high 4-7, double and then high again leaving 3-6-10. That 7 count, or missing the 7 pin, could be counted as why we lost the game by 3 pin.

    Game 2 started with double and both going a bit high just tripping a 4 pin out, got out too far 2-5, high leaving 3 pin, switched up to Halo since Crux was finishing so hard, 4 bagger before going through nose 6-7-10, 6-10 and strike to finish out.

    Game 3 made another ball change to Physix went high 3 pin, high again 4-10 and then made another switch to Hustle INK, 7 pin, 7 bagger and 6-10 in fill.

    All in all I was making some good moves with my feet to keep the balls in play. Afraid of going too deep and then leaving flat 10's so I made ball changes after the ball started hitting higher as the night progressed.

    On to tonight
