Consistent night for me.

Game 1 Started with strike, 2-7-8, 2-4-5 which I pick the 5 off of it, turkey, 10 pin, strike, 10 pin, strike, and another 10 pin for a 204.

Game 2 changed balls as didn't like entry angle and leaving 10 pins and strike to start, 2-5, turkey before getting a bit slow and going through the nose and a 3-6-9, strike, 4 pin, strike and a 2-5 which I then picked off the 2 pin from it and a 205.

Game 3 strike, 4 pin, 10 pin, 7 pin, another 10 pin, change balls again and struck, washout 1-2-4-10, 2 pin, turkey before leaving 6 pin and a 204.

204-205-204 = 613

So close to triplicate LOL! Carry was just not on my side. Told my team mates that I guess I need to stop smashing the pocket so much and hit light to get better carry. :

Single pin spare shooting was perfect, it's the multi-pins that got me tonight. Washout, 2-4-5 and 2-5 got the best of me. Guess I was just not focused on those conversions.

Another blah night for me. Just an off week, so busy at work so had that on my mind all this week.

204-215-188 = 607

Not much to report frame by frame other than had the front 5 game 1 and then poor carry, pair of pocket 7-10's to end the game.

Successful night on the lanes for me. 30 Clean Frames!! Woohoo!!

Think the practice I had Saturday at the ITRC on the USBC Open Nationals patterns helped a bunch. I was pretty accurate targeting, just my speed on a few shots were a bit off.

Game 1 speed was a bit high and went light leaving 2-5, turkey, 2 pin, 9 pin, double, pair of 10 pins and a strike to end the game at 226.

Game 2 strike, 10 pin, 4 bagger, 4 pin, 4-7, turkey and 7 pin in the fill for a nice 246.

Game 3 10 pin, 7 pin, 5 bagger, got way out leaving a 1-4, double and 10 pin to end the game with another 246.

226-246-246 = 718

30 clean frames, 61% strikes, 12/12 on single pin spares(5/5 on 10 pin).

As a team we took all 4. We battled it out with our opponents and was close all the way up to the 9th frame of games 1 & 2. They had us by 20 pins both games and we came back and took it. Game 3 was a blow out, we won by 150 pins.
Back up in first place after dropping some most of the games the past several weeks.

Thursday fun league

Game 2 started much of the same going dutch the first few frames - 2-4, strike, 10 pin, 4 bagger, 7 pin, strike, 2 pin and 3-6-10 on a test shot in fill for a 226.

Game 3 started with double, 10 pin, got light just enough to leave 2-4-8-10, turkey, 4 pin, double then a 7 pin in fill of 10th for a 221.

Having a good week, went 30 clean on Tuesday and went 29 last night.

Texas State Tournament is this weekend, bowling Team event on Saturday and Double/Singles on Sunday. Hoping this weeks work translates into good scores.

Well the tournament wasn't a complete bust. Shot real well, just didn't have very good carry. So many corner pins!! Those freaking tenpins got the best of me this weekend. A bit out of character for me in that I missed several.

Team event we were in Division 2 as we had a few lower averages we shot a 3182 total. That included 84 total pins of handicap.
636 series for me with games of 225-185-226 = 636
3/6 on 10 pins on the day which were my only opens. No splits. Should have easuly had a 670 series without my lapse with 10 pins.

Doubles event partner and I were going into it scratch so Division 1.
639 series with games of 224-204-211 = 639. Partner shot 645.
2/4 on 10 pins for the set, 1 4-9 split and a super washout on my very first ball to begin as my other opens on the event. Should have had 660+ series with those missed 10 pins.

Singles event I was scratch so Division 1.
655 series with game of 184-227-248 = 659.
2/2 on 10 pins, 4/4 on 7 pins, 3/3 on 2 pins.

Total All Events - 636-639-659 = 1934

For the weekend, only 58% on 10 pins which is way lower than my current 90% conversion rate this entire past season in 2 leagues. Was missing just barely to the left of the 10 and it cost me dearly. Should have been a minimum of a 2000 showing. The other corner pin stood much more in the 9 games than I would have liked. Was up 8 times in total.

Used Hyper Cell to start each day. Transitioned to Disturbed in team and then First Blood to finish out last game. For doubles/singles transitioned to IQ Fusion and then to Disturbed in the last game. Should have gone to the Disturbed much earlier. IQ Fusion was doing well for me though after I did a test shot with it, so stuck with it even though it was finishing much stronger than I typically like. Left that smash 4-9 a few 4's with that ball.

My targeting on the lanes was really good all weekend. I was in the pocket 95% of the time. Only 1 split the entire weekend, a smash 4-9 in doubles event. I think that was pretty successful given the carry I had with 12 10 pins and 8 7 pins.

No idea where that puts me or the team in standings. Guess will have to wait and see how the field plays over the next couple weekends. June 6 and 7 is the last weekend for the tournament.

Feeling confident about my game on tournament conditions after the weekend. Can really see the work that I have put into my game and how it is translating to the lanes. Need to keep it going and keep my mindset in the right frame for a another month going into El Paso and completing our leagues. Especially finish out strong on Tuesday, we are barely grasping to the #1 spot in the league. Could potentially be a pretty nice payout.

Not a whole lot to report this week.

230-202-192 = 624 Tuesday, didn't feel like I rolled it very well. Just not getting reaction I wanted from any of my balls that night.

237-246-198 = 681 last night.

Was clean through 24 frames and then left a big 4. Didn't think the shot was deserving of that, but that's the breaks. Went back and forth with strike, 10 pin, 7 pin..... 10th frame 10 pin and I whiffed it. By that time we were up by 61 pins with only their anchor to bowl. He was on a double so I knew the max amount he could get in 10th frame was 60, we ended up winning by 17. So we squeaked that one out and split the series with them. They shot 896 game 2 scratch with 4 team members. Their lead off is only a 140 average bowler, she shot 181(her highest game).
