Tuesday Pepsi Master's Trios: THS
Week 3
762 Series: 167-209-232-154
Game 1 I opened on 2 single-pins and then a split in the 10th. You can't win a scratch league against quality competition and miss single-pins.
Game 2 I settled down a bit. Split in the 4th kept me from a clean game.
Game 3 I was a pocket 9 leave away from the front 8. The Special Ops, which I rarely use, was just hammering the pocket. Another split, this time in the 9th, cost me a clean game.
Game 4 I decided to finish with the Force Pearl. Usually an automatic 195+ when I switch to that ball...but I struggled to get back to the pocket something terrible. Didn't strike until the 8th.

Left my Wednesday league for a full team on Tuesdays with a guy I bowled a summer scratch league with two summers ago. Once they figure out my handicap, we probably took 7 out of 20 points. The team only had 2 points in the first 2 weeks...so this is an improvement. And, we played a very, very good team with one PBA50 player anchoring it. Hard to win in scratch leagues when you're playing a team of 200+ average bowlers and nobody on your team averages 195. Heck, one of them averages sub-160.
Just want the practice. I need to work on my form and fix my spare shooting woes before fall season.
