Went from feeling great Tuesday to feeling like a zero on Wednesday.
Didn't even crack 600. Struggled on all aspects.
212-159-204 = 575
Game 2 was either strike or split, unfortunately. Started game with 3 splits. Just could not recover after that.

Had a good look to start the night out using Roto Grip Haywire in this late league.

Changed to Hustle INK in game 4.
Only 2 opens on the night, had an 8-10 in game 4 and missed a 10 pin in 10th grade of game 2. Beat my opponent all 4 games on the night. First time all season that I won all of my points.

Back to the lanes last night.
243-223-183 = 649
Gave my Storm Drive a little bit of surface before starting practice hitting it with a 2000 grit Trucut pad.
Overall I felt pretty good and was getting into the pocket, double to start, 6 pin, double, 10 pin, got fast leavin 2-4-8, 4 bagger and 8 count in the fill.
Game 2 started with 4-6, turkey, fast leaving 2-4, 2-5, turkey, 2-5 to start 10th frame and strike to finish.
Game 3 with 10 pin, 5 pin, strike, 10 pin, 6-7-10, strike, 10 pin, strike, 10 pin, 4-7, strike in fill.
10 pins in game 3 would just not get out on right lane. Made adjustments on each frame and was just not my kind of carry on the night.
On to tonight.

Late to post from my Thursday league action.
We started out and I go to my usual ball, Roto Grip Haywire, and as soon as it hits the lanes, it hooks. Wow!! Crazy! Use various balls to try and get a line in practice, but everyone is having the same issue.
Come to find out that the center had an issue with their lane machine after it got to lane 23. It broke down, so basically from 24-48 they were not run.
The night was an adventure to say the least.
193-199-187-148 = 727
Was able to keep myself completely clean on makeable spares. 8 splits on the night. I did convert a 5-7 split, 5 pin went into the curtain and bounced back out hitting the 7 pin.
Was certainly not fun by any means, but, all on the pair experienced the same issues. I did see some people end up just putting in a blind score so they wouldn't have to bowl on the conditions. LOL!

Started the night out not feeling all that great, attitude kind of sucked too. Stressful day at work with a busy January looming over me.
182-279-244 = 705
Game 1 started with strike, right lane was giving me a very different read in practice, went through the nose leaving 3-6-10 and picked off the 6-10 for an open, great. Strike, lined up again on right side for 10 pin, 10 pin, 10 pin again on right side which I missed. 10 pin again and then...you guessed it 10 pin one more time. Struck in 9th frame and then finally made the right adjustment and struck to start 10th, slowed down too much in fill leaving 3-6.
Game 2 started to feel a bit better and ran off the first 6, adjusted my target in 7th frame on right lane as the last strike in 5th frame went a tad high tripping a 4 pin...but it went in flat and I left a 10 pin. Punched out for a nice confidence boosting 279.
Game 3 started with front 4 before laving a 10 pin, strike, lanes started transitioning here, went high leaving 3-6, then 6-10, strike next 3, then dumped ball leaving 1-2-4 in fill.
All in all a good night, except for the spare misses in game 1.

Wednesday league
Horrible scores to report this week. Lanes were horrible with no oil on them at all. This is almost exactly a repeat of what happened this past Thursday, but in a different center. Only this time, the lane machine didn't break down. The "technician" just didn't check and put oil in the machine. All seems to make sense that this was at an AMF center that has no regard for the league bowlers that fill up the house on the night.
195-170-180 = 545
OUCH!!

Thursday Late League
After last weeks debacle where we had no oil on the lanes, we were back to normal...bowling on blown up lanes from the early mixed league.
A much better night for me.
235-236-214-246 = 931
Game 1 started with 10 pin, double, 7 pin, high leaving 4-7-10, 10 pin, punch out with last 6.
Game 2 10 pin again to start, high leaving 4-7, double, 10 pin, 4 bagger, 4 pin, strike in fill.
Game 3 double, 6-10, turkey, then a pair of 10 pins, strike and 4-6-7 in 10th frame.
Game 4 has typically been my problem game, it is my lowest average game. 6 pin, strike, 2-4-5, 6-10, ran off the next 6 and then dumped the ball leaving 1-2 in the fill.
Felt like I really threw the ball well tonight, using Hyper Cell Fused for all 4 games. Thought about switching to start game 4, but just made a 4-2 left move instead and it worked out pretty well.
On to the next week.
