That may be true. A 'glass is half full' vs 'glass is half empty' approach I suppose.
Tuesday Men's League: THS
Eleventh Week
621 Series: 183-236 (clean)-202
Tried to start out with the Grudge Hybrid; but once again couldn't find a decent line and had to very soon switch to the Aura Mystic. I was so confused by what I was seeing that I even tried to throw the Rhino Gold late in the game and that failed miserably. 6 /, X, 7 /, 9 /, 9 /, 9 -, X, 9 /, X, 7 / 7.
By Game 2 it was clear that Aura Mystic was working well on the left lane and right lane...I just needed to add a little length to my shot on the right lane my adjusting by vertical target. That strategy led to a 4-bagger before making a bad shot. I finally had to make some small adjustments by the 7th and 8th frames, but I kept things clean and struck out in the 10th for my best game of the season thus far. X, X, X, X, 8 /, X, 9 /, 9 /, 9 /, X X X.
Continued to strike four more times into Game 3 before realizing that maybe another ball change was in order. Switched to the Fortera Exile...but needed to make a slight adjustment...and by the time I did...Game 3 was about over. X, X, X, X, 8 1, 9 /, 7 2, 8 /, X, 9 / X.

Another 4 out of 4 point night...our team furthers our 1st place position. I have my best series this season, my highest game thus far this season, I win two high game $5 team pots, my average gets back into the 180s, only 3 opens, and I get another clean game. My spare shooting was decent. My ball change choices were sub-par...I usually do better with ball change decision-making. But, still a good night.
