First time back on the lanes in a little over a week. I got there right when it opened and I guess the lanes hadn't been re-oiled since the 8:00PM leagues the night before. I didn't see a problem until my line moved left to the 2nd arrow...when suddenly I was going far left. I ended up having to move 4 and 6 inside to get away from the track...despite starting out targeting 7-8 and standing left toe on 18. Once I got in and was on the 12-13 boards...I just didn't have the hand to get the ball to come back. In addition, with so much less practice time, I was very rusty and missing 2-4 boards (usually right) of target on many shots. Bummer.
