Summer League

Forgot to enter these in last week.

Week 7

564 Series: 175-166-223

X, 9 /, X, 7 /, 8 /, X, - /, 9 -, S8 1, X 7 /.
Wasn't terrible...just couldn't carry.

S8 1, S8 -, X, 7 /, 9 /, 9 /, 9 /, 7 -, X, X 8 /.
Balled down to the Scorpion Sting (SS). Still couldn't carry.

9 /, X, X, 9 /, 9 /, X, X, X, X, S7 2.
Stuck with the SS...found my carry...then I got reamed in the 10th with a wonderful 4-6-7 split.

PinPal Stats:
First Ball Average: 8.66 pins
Strikes: 40%
Spares: 68% picked up

Single Pin spares: 87% (7/8)
Most common single-pin leave: 2-pin (3x).
Never left a single 3-pin, 4-pin, 6-pin, and 8-pin.

Makeable spares: 86% (13/15)
Multiple Pin spares: 85% (6/7)
Most common multi-pin leave: 3-6-10 and 4-7 (2x each)

Splits: 0% (0/4)

Average over 3 games: 188.00.
Average had I picked up all single-pin spares: 191.33.

Positives
- Better spare shooting.
- The female team member found a babysitter.

Negatives
- Carry was once again abysmal.
- And a split in the 10th...after a 4-bagger...is like a kick in the shins.

Not a great night...but I'll take a 550+. Brings my average up to 179...hopefully I can get into the 180s by the end of the season.

Week 8

541 Series: 211-163-167

X, - /, X, X, 9 /, S7 -, X, X, X, 9 / 9.
Pretty decent game. Bummed that I opened....would have liked a clean game. Benn awhile.

S8 /, X, 9 /, 9 -, X, 9 -, 9 -, 9 /, X, 9 / 8.
Opened with 5-10 split that I picked up with my spare ball. Of course, picking up only half of my single-pins....when leaving SIX of them...not a good game. Switched to the Scorpion Sting (SS) in the 7th.

S7 2, 5 /, 9 /, 9 /, 7 /, X, 9 /, 9 /, 8 /, 7 2.
Switched to the Radical Outer Limits Pearl (OLP), but the carry was even more abysmal than the previous train wreck. Chopped a 1-3-8 in the 10th to put a cherry on that poo sundae.

PinPal Stats:
First Ball Average: 8.56 pins
Strikes: 31%
Spares: 70% picked up

Single Pin spares: 75% (9/12)
Most common single-pin leave: 10-pin (5x).
Never left a single 2-pin, 4-pin (2x), 5-pin (3x), and 9-pin.

Makeable spares: 76% (13/17)
Multiple Pin spares: 80% (4/5)
Most common multi-pin leave: n/a

Splits: 33% (1/3)

Average over 3 games: 180.33.
Average had I picked up all single-pin spares: 191.33.

Positives
- Ummm...I picked up a 5-10...seemed impressive at the time.
- At least one of the games was a 200+.

Negatives
- Another night of bad carry.
- And, friction DRAMA...AGAIN!

So we're playing a younger team...looked like a few 19 to mid 20s type of ages. Well, they didn't really do a good job with "etiquette". And, rather than calmly explain to them what proper bowling etiquette is...or having a captain's meeting...or whatever...MY teammates decide to either slam their ball down and march off or yell at them. By the end of the night, our team looked like a bunch of moody idiots and the leadoff bowler decided not to play the last half of Game 3, etc...etc...etc...

For crying out loud. I miss my fall team. The good news is the season is half over. I can't stand drama when I bowl. Drama needs to stay on the internet where it belongs.
