Aslan's Scores (of the non-lady kind)

Sunday Night Established Mixed League

Week 22 (POST BOWLING)

Went in on Saturday to make-up from when the team didn't bowl due to weather.

545 Series: 188-182-175

Thought I was lined up well, but just inconsistent shot-making.
S7 1, 8 /, S8 -, X, X, X, 8 1, X, X, 8 /X.

Switched to the Fireball, but just couldn't seem to carry.
8 /, 7 /, X, 9 /, X, S8 -, 9 /, X, 9 /, X 9 -.

Stayed with the Fireball, but struggled MIGHTILY in the first few frames.
6 3, 6 2, 6 3, X, X, 8 /, X, X, 8 -, XX7.

First Ball Average: 8.79
Strikes: 47%

Also left a single 5-pin and 10-pin.

Positives
- Consistent scores.

Negatives

We got swept by the team we bowled against. They had a good night when we were absent...and we had one bowler that couldn't make the post-bowl and the other 3 of us did terrible.

Sunday Night Established Mixed League

Week 24

Kinda weird that we bowled two nights in a row...and it is against the same team we post-bowled against on Saturday.

639 Series: 153-249 (clean)-237 (clean)

I was SO ticked off. Carry was horrible and I couldn't pick up a corner pin to save my life.
9 /, X, 9 -, X, 7 2, 9 /, 9 -, S7 2, X, 9 /X.

Just when I kinda 'gave up' and resigned to throwing my first Dutch 200, I started striking like mad.
8 /, X, 9 /, X, 9 /, X, X, X, X, XX9.

Tried to keep things going with the Black Widow Hybrid 2.0, but after leafing a 2-pin on a decent shot...I decided to switch to the Fireball and make a little line adjustment. Same as the game before...carry was off early on, but then I just got in a groove.
9 /, X, 9 /, S8 /, X, X, X, X, 9 /, XXX.

PinPal Stats:
First Ball Average: 9.40
Strikes: 57%
Spares: 71% picked up

Single Pin spares: 80% (8/10)
Most common single-pin leave: 6-pin and 10-pin (3x each).
Also left a single 2-pin and 7-pin (2x each).

Makeable spares: 75% (9/12)
Multiple Pin spares: 50% (1/2)
Most common multi-pin leave: n/a

Splits: 50% (1/2)

Average over 3 games: 213.00.
Average had I picked up all single-pin spares: 220.00

Positives
- Two clean games is always a good night.
- When dialed in, I bowled extremely well.

Negatives
- Teammates were having a rough night, so harder to enjoy my success when they were bowling miserably.

Hoping my two strong games will get us 2-3 points...but hard to say. The opposing team is pretty solid once they decide to show up and bowl.

Nice bowling the second two games!


Wasn't the other team there?

Thanks. And, no. Super Bowl Sunday is always a night when half the league doesn't show up. We've talked about having it is a week off...especially bowling in Kansas where the Chiefs have always had a good chance of being in the Super Bowl. I'll probably vote to take it off next year just because of how many teams don't show. And its weird because we essentially bowled the same team we post bowled on Saturday.

Wednesday Night Established Men's League

Week 23

Tied for 1st place, but bowling another really high average team. We were getting 85 pins per game...despite our team having 4 of 5 bowlers averaging over 190.

617 Series: 222-202-193

X, 9 -, X, X, X, X, 9 -, X, X, XS8 1.
The Black Widow Hybrid 2.0 was hitting well in warm-ups, so I stuck with it. Would have been a huge game had I picked up more than ZERO spares!

X, X, X, X, 9 /, S8 -, 8 1, X, 9 /, 9 / 9.
Started out strong, but switched to the Force Pearl in the 7th frame. Was hammering the pocket...but getting ringing 10s and just having bad luck concerning carry. But, I shot my single-pin spares well...and that saved me.

X, X, X, 9 -, X, 8 1, 7 /, X, 9 -, XXX.
Got derailed by some pulled shots toward the middle of the game. And my lack of spare shooting ability reared it's ugly head again. But, struck out to help us salvage a split.

PinPal Stats:
First Ball Average: 9.44
Strikes: 61%
Spares: 33% picked up

Positives

- 600+ series.
- Around the pocket all night.
- Won 2 card games!

Negatives
- Obviously, spare shooting was terrible.

Not a "bad" night...just bad spare shooting.
