Sunday Night Established Mixed League
Week 5
One of the better nights for Sunday league.
607 Series: 233-172-202
Better carry. Made all my makable spares. And thats how you bowl a good score.
9 /, 9 /, X, S8 1, 8 /, X, X, X, X, XX6.
Had already switched to the Endeavor early in Game 1. After a decent shot left me a left-side bucket, I switched to the Fireball. Unfortunately, shot-making was inconsistent. But, it was opening in the 10th that really hurt me.
6 3, 8 /, X, 9 /, X, S8 1, 7 /, X, X, 7 2.
Switched to the Force Pearl and things improved.
9 -, X, X, S8 1, 9 /, X, 9 -, X, X, XX9.
PinPal Stats:
First Ball Average: 9.09
Strikes: 52%
Spares: 50% picked up
Single Pin spares: 66% (4/6)
Most common single-pin leave: 3-pin (3x).
Also left a single 4-pin, 7-pin, and 10-pin.
Makeable spares: 63% (7/11)
Multiple Pin spares: 60% (3/5)
Most common multi-pin leave: 2-4-5 and 6-10 (2x each)
Splits: 0% (0/3)
Average over 3 games: 202.33.
Average had I picked up all single-pin spares: 210.00.
Positives
- Much better stats, nearly across the board.
- My average is low enough in this league, that I'm now helping my team more so than hurting.
Negatives
- Left more splits this week.
- Can't open in the 10th.
Not bad. Looking forward to carrying this over to Wednesday.

Wednesday Night Established Men's League
Week 4
468 Series: 147-151-170
X, 8 1, 9 /, 8 -, X, 9 /, S7 2, 7 1, 7 /, X 6 3.
A lot of horrible shots. After leaving a pocket 10-pin in the 3rd frame, I moved to the Endeavor. Pulled 3-5 shots and pushed at least one right.
6 /, 9 /, 9 /, X, 7 /, 9 /, S8 1, 9 -, 9 -, 9 -.
Pretty easy to see how this game fell apart. FIVE pocket 10s and a pocket 7. Just couldn't carry and could not make spares. Abysmal.
9 /, 8 /, X, 9 -, X, X, 7 -, X, X, S7 1.
Bowled better this game. But, I could have salvaged a decent game if it weren't for a 4-6-7 split in the 10th.
PinPal Stats:
First Ball Average: 8.58
Strikes: 29% 
Spares: 45% picked up
Single Pin spares: 60% (6/10)
Most common single-pin leave: 10-pin (6x)
Also left a single 4-pin and 7-pin (2x).
Makeable spares: 52% (10/19)
Multiple Pin spares: 44% (4/9)
Most common multi-pin leave: 3-6-10 and 6-10 (2x each)
Splits: 0% (0/3)
Average over 3 games: 156.00.
Average had I picked up all single-pin spares: 170.33.
Positives
- Nothing. I mean, seriously. Is there anything positive in a sub-500 series??
Negatives
- Spare shooting = bad.
- Strike rate was abysmal.
- Just....ugghhhh, 
Not only terrible, but it happened during Wednesday league when I need to bring my best. Oh well...can't win em all.

Sunday Night Established Mixed League
Week 6
Bowling against my team captain's (Wednesday men's league) team, so a little more pressure to do well.
540 Series: 202-159-179
Nice split conversion in the 3rd on a 6-7. But, after a pocket 10-pin in the 9th (that I missed), I switched to the Endeavor.
X, X, S8 /, X, X, X, 9 /, S7 2, 9 -, X 9 /.
Left a pocket 10-pin in the 7th and switched to the Force Pearl. Struggled with carry again.
X, X, 8 1, 9 -, 7 1, 8 /, 9 /, X, 9 -, 9 /9.
Just bad. Bad spare shooting, bad carry, bad shots. Was nice to strike out and salvage a score just above my average, but couldn't find a consistent line.
8 -, X, X, 8 1, X, 9 /, S8 1, 8 -, X, XXX.
PinPal Stats:
First Ball Average: 9.15
Strikes: 47%
Spares: 41% picked up
Single Pin spares: 62% (5/8)
Most common single-pin leave: 10-pin (5x).
Also left a single 4-pin (2x) and a 7-pin.
Makeable spares: 42% (6/14)
Multiple Pin spares: 16% (1/6)
Most common multi-pin leave: n/a
Splits: 33% (1/3)
Average over 3 games: 180.00.
Average had I picked up all single-pin spares: 190.00.
Positives
- Felt like I bowled okay.
- Health is getting better.
- Picked up a nice 6-7 split.
Negatives
- Pretty much everything else. Blah!!
Not good. At least I'm caught up with my scores/data entry. But, need be over 550, especially on Wednesdays....so I gotta do better.

Wednesday Night Established Men's League
Week 5
The only thing I can say for tonight is....I 'probably' can't do any worse than I did last week (468). Probably...
515 Series: 169-149-197
S6 2, 6 /, 9 /, X, X, 9 -, 6 /, X, 8 /, S7 1.
Not "horrible"...mainly just got screwed in the 1st and 10th frames.
9 -, 9 -, 8 /, 9 /, 8 -, 7 1, 9 -, 9 /, X, X 9 /.
Abysmal. Just unable to strike. I don't know. Lots of nice, pocket hits and not much to show for it! 
7 /, X, 8 /, X, S7 2, X, 6 -, X, X, XX7.
Bowled better and helped the team take a 3rd point (won 3 out of 4).
PinPal Stats:
First Ball Average: 8.58
Strikes: 36%
Spares: 50% picked up
Single Pin spares: 50% (4/8)
Most common single-pin leave: 10-pin (3x)
Also left a single 2-pin, 4-pin, 6-pin, and 7-pin (2x).
Makeable spares: 58% (10/17)
Multiple Pin spares: 66% (10/17)
Most common multi-pin leave: 6-10 (3x)
Splits: 0% (0/3)
Average over 3 games: 171.67.00.
Average had I picked up all single-pin spares: 184
Positives
- Won the card game TWICE!!
- Did a good 'enough' job that the team took 3 out
Negatives
- Spare shooting = bad (again).
- Strike rate was terrible (again).
Not much to say. Just need to improve my shot. Two bowlers next to me almost bowled 300s, so there must be some way to master these lanes. I just haven't figured them out yet.
