    Well, the seasons are done.

    Tuesday 05/15

    Started off really well using Hyper Cell Fused and didn't move much all night long aside from adjusting to 10 pins.
    280-247-222 = 749

    Thursday 05/17

    Struggled on the night. Finding the pocket but again in this house the carry was abysmal. Missing right a few times and missing a 10 pin on the night with a split to end things on a low note in game 3.
    214-234-173 = 621


    Collect money next week with 9 pin no taps for a fun night. Now to analyze my stats for the year.

    #2 Continue 10 pin conversion rate, 10 pins are 45% of my total single pin leaves. Upping this conversion rate will continue to help my average.

    Bowled a Trios tournament this weekend.

    The tournament was match play style. 2 points person against their opponent, 4 points for team win. 10 points total per game. Tournament was handicap and we of course knew that going in and ended up being our downfall.

    We were in first place after game 3. In game 4 we were up against a team that had 221 pins handicap against our 72, so a tough hill to climb of 150 pins. They took 8 points on us and we then swapped places dropping to 2nd. They were all 160-170 bowlers that bowled well above their stated averages. They just had alot of really lucky pinfall. They were not very good, but they got the pins to fall just being near the headpin. Too many Brooklyn strikes to count. Lol.

    In-game 5, again, we were up against the same team and had that hill to climb. We ended up taking 6 points in the game, I bowled 268 to help the team take totals and beating my man. Both of our teams got leap frogged by other teams after this game. My team dropped to 4th while our opponent dropped to 3rd.

    So for game 6 and the 3rd game in a row, we were again up against #teamhandicap, lol.
    Their anchor, my opponent, had a 240 scratch game, 305 handicap!! D'OH! I beat him scratch as i bowled 256, but I only got 8 pins handicap per game and never had chance. Our team only took 2 points.

    We ended up sitting tied in 4th place which was the last spot to go to Baker style match play games. We got beat out by the team with the highest total pinfall which was only by 24 pins. A bittersweet ending to the tournament for us. Oh, and #teamhandicap ended up winning the whole thing. Seemed nobody could beat their extra bowler worth of handicap. Lol.

    On the day I started rough only bowling a 190 game, but I never looked back and ended up with a +240 pin performance and averaging 240 on the day. Felt really good once I got lined up after the first game and barely even moved the rest of the day. Also, never even made a ball change. Used my Roto Grip Idol for all 6 games.

    Games of 190, 268, 223, 238, 268, 256 = 1443, 240.50 average. 100% single pin conversions, left 9 10 pins on the day.

    Collected our prize money last night for our league. We do doubles and singles events on the night since no points are awarded. Doubles you pay $1 each and can be any combination of bowlers to enter. We do not do 9 pin no tap on this league.

    I shot really well again last night. Too bad it doesn't count towards averages. LOL

    Using my Hyper Cell Fused again last night and it matched up perfectly. In pocket all but 1 shot when I got lazy in fill of 10th frame on game 3.

    245-248-267 = 760
    1 open frame, a 10 pin to start game 2.

    Well, started my sport shot league for the summer this week.

    The league is a draft league and is based on entering average. 48 bowlers total. Lowest 16 averages are team captains and draft from the remaining bowlers to add to the Trio's team. Going into the league you just have no idea who you will be bowling with.

    I got picked kind of in the middle of the pack and bowl with one person I know and the team captain that I didn't know.

    We bowled this first week on the PBA Dick Weber pattern, will bowl on the pattern for 3 weeks and then it changes. This week was a big embarrassment for me. Couldn't get lined up correctly. When I thought I did and got a double going, next shot would be off with a wash out or a light hit split.

    Games were:
    146 - Used Roto Grip Idol. 4 opens on the game 3 were splits, 2-10, 2-8-10, 2-8-10. Missed a 3 pin to start out the game. D'oh!!
    172 - ball change to Storm Drive and had a better look. 3 opens, 2 splits and both 2-10's. Chopped 6 off a 3-6 leave.
    160 - Switched to Sure Lock and kept ball inside. Score doesn't show it, but I actually had a better look and will remember for next week. In pocket on left lane and right lane gave me fits. Left lane 10 pin followed by 4 strikes. Right lane, 1-2-10, 4 pin, 2-10, 3-6-10(left 3 pin standing on conversion). 5-9 and a strike to finish out the night.

    146-172-160 = 478
    Well under what I have averaged before on sport shots.

    Only one way to go from here and it is way up. HAHA!!

    My bad. Added games to my post. Got sidetracked and posted before completed. Maybe I am actually just a house shot hack with the way I shot this week. LOL.

    Pulled out a 3rd place finish in a 40 and over 8 game scratch match play tournament over the weekend. Qualified 4th for stepladder. In first match of step ladder, needed to strike out to win first match, pulled it off.

    Next game gave the eventual winner of the tournament a run for the money. Had a nice clean game and was in pocket each ball. Left 2 4 pins and a 10 pin. Carry just didn't go my way. Used my Roto Grip Idol for all 10 games. Took the ball to a 2000 grit before starting the tournament. This ball is just so controllable and doesn't jump off the spot.

    Averaged right at 218 in a tough house. Was a grind the whole day. The A/C in this center was not working very well making a hot a sweaty day.

    Sport shot league week 2 didn't fare much better than week 1.

    Have some issues with my hand after the tournament on Sunday. Blister right at the base of my index finger and my thumb was swollen. Had a hard time getting out of the ball. Progressed up my interchangeable thumbs and had a nice release and line in game 2, but thumb continued to swell into game 3 and just had bad time releasing well.

    171-220-147 = 538

    Think I will start more in the middle part of the lane next week. The pattern is a lighter oil pattern at 45' and I have been trying to use the outside a bit and moving in, when I moved in for game 2 and got a good release it was looking very good.

    Good thing is, I beat my man game 2 and in totals so I won the match.

    Uggh!! Averaging 169 in the sport league now. Still only one way to go from here LOL!!

    Sport Shot Week 3

    Had a better week using my strategy of staying inside more and not playing outside as much. Started at about 11-12 in game 1 and 2, then started moving in to about 14-15 when we were in to game 3. Started game 2 with the front 6 before tugging and going through the nose. Ball started to move quite a bit more at about this time too.

    178-235-182 = 595

    Getting better, and, just as I start to figure out the pattern and how I can play it, we change patterns next week. LOL

    Johnny Petraglia pattern for the next 3 weeks. Maybe the shorter pattern will be a better one for me. Not likely, but it is fun to get some practice on patterns instead of the same old walled shots.
