Sunday Night Established Mixed League
Bowled against a team that didn't show...but we probably lost 3 out of 4.
Week 8
538 Series: 146-181-211
Felt like I was throwing a good ball, but just couldn't carry and then got penalized with three unnameable splits in a row.
X, X, 9 /, 9 -, 9 /, S6 2, S7 2, S7 1, X, 7 2.
Moved to the Fireball....took a couple shots to get re-aligned...then two unnameable splits in the 8th and 9th to ruin things.
6 /, X, 9 -, 9 /, X, X, X, S7 2, S7 2, 9 / 9.
Moved to the Fortera Exile...was able to make some good shots...but also started making a couple bad ones.
X, 7 /, 9 /, X, X, 5 4, 8 /, 9 /, X, XXX.

Wednesday Night Established Men's League
Week 8
Played another good team...couldn't believe that we only got like 9 pins of handicap per game. So, this was gonna be a tough night.
543 Series: 201-160-182
X, X, X, 7 /, 8 /, X, 7 /, S7 2, X, 9 / X.
Wasn't terribly upset with my performance. My only open was on a split in the 8th. Just had trouble running strikes together after the first few games.
S8 -, X, 9 /, X, 6 3, X, , 7 /, X, 9 -, 9 / 6.
After leaving a 2-10 in the 1st frame, I switched to the Ebonite Fireball. But, just couldn't get lined up on one of the lanes. A terrible game.
8 /, 8 /, X, S8 1, X, 9 /, X, 7 2, 9 /, XX8.
Switched to the Fortera Exile for Game 3, but still struggled to run strikes together.
PinPal Stats:
First Ball Average: 8.79 pins
Strikes: 44%
Spares: 64% picked up
Single Pin spares: 83% (5/6)
Most common single-pin leave: 9-pin (2x)
Also left a single 2-pin, 5-pin, 6-pin, and 7-pin.
Makeable spares: 78% (11/14)
Multiple Pin spares: 75% (6/8)
Most common multi-pin leave: n/a
Splits: 0% (0/3)
Average over 3 games: 181.00.
Average had I picked up all single-pin spares: 184.67.
Positives
- Overall, the stats were slightly improved.
- Was a split away from a clean game in Game 1.
- Marked in all my 10th frames.
Negatives
- Can't score very well if you can't run strikes together.
Frustrating that I'm still mired in this 180s slump...but it wasn't "terrible".

Sunday Night Established Mixed League
Bowled against a team where we got very little handicap...which is abnormal given we have a 100 and 70 average bowler on our roster. So, on the one hand..I was relaxed that there wasn't a high average bowler on their team...but on the other hand....the pressure was on me given that I was clearly the highest average bowler on the pair.
Week 9
649 Series: 246 (clean)-222-181
Felt great. Got a couple breaks...but it was a solid start to the night.
X, X, 9 /, S8 /, X, X, X, X, 9 /, XXX.
Stuck with the Black Widow Hybrid 2.0 (BWH)...almost had a second clean game...but couldn't convert the baby split in the 7th.
X, 9 /, X, X, X, 9 /, S8 -, X, X, X S8 1.
Moved to the Fortera Exile in the 2nd frame...but was starting to make bad shots.
9 /, 8 /, 7 /, S7 -, X, X, X, S7 1, X, 9 / 9.
PinPal Stats:
First Ball Average: 9.29
Strikes: 58%
Spares: 69% picked up
Single Pin spares: 100% (6/6)
Most common single-pin leave: 10-pin (6x)
Only left 10-pins.
Makeable spares: 100% (8/8)
Multiple Pin spares: 100% (2/2)
Most common multi-pin leave: 3-10 baby split (2x)
Splits: 20% (1/5)
Average over 3 games: 216.33.
Average had I picked up all single-pin spares: 216.33.
Positives
- Picked up 100% of my spares...I'm very happy about that.
- Only left 10-pins...which I think is indicative that I was throwing a decent ball.
- Love the clean game.
- The 246 is my 2nd highest game thus far this season...in either league.
Negatives
- Still leaving too many splits.
- The mystery score was a 241. I swear, I'm never gonna hit that dang mystery score!! 
Thankful for a decent night after weeks of being in a slump.
