    Thursday Men's League: low-oil synthetics

    584 Series: 157-181-246

    PinPal Stats:
    First Ball Average: 8.88 pins
    Strikes: 47%
    Spares: 60% picked up

    Single Pin spares: 50% (2/4)
    Most common single-pin leave: 4-pin (2x)
    Also left a single 3-pin and 6-pin.

    Multiple Pin spares: 63% (7/11)
    Most common multi-pin leave: 1-2 (2x).

    Splits: n/a

    Average over 3 games: 194.67.
    Average had I picked up all single-pin spares: 202.00.

    Hmmm. I wanna say it's further evidence that the arsenal isn't put together right...but I also noticed my speed was quite high in Game 1...like 21-22 at the pins. It's possible that as the night is progressing...I start to calm down and tire a bit....the speed comes down...and the ball reaction improves. Hard to say at this point.

    First game I only struck 3 times and spare shooting was sub-par. Game 2 was similar...struck 4 times and only opened twice. Game 3 was just...different. I was focused...the form was there...I probably was a bit buzzed from a couple Zimas...I managed to ruin the clean game by missing a single 3-pin to the right...which I probably couldn't do more than 1 out of the tries with my strike ball. Only other non-strike was a 8 / in the 8th. Last ball was a 9-count...but other than that...all strikes.

    678 Series: 243-234-201

    PinPal Stats:
    First Ball Average: 9.53 pins
    Strikes: 76%
    Spares: 12% picked up

    Single Pin spares: 0% (0/3)
    Most common single-pin leave: 10-pin (3x)

    Multiple Pin spares: 20% (1/5)
    Most common multi-pin leave: n/a.

    Splits: 0% (0/2)

    Average over 3 games: 226.00.
    Average had I picked up all single-pin spares: 237.67.

    Game 1 looked problematic early on. My shot felt better and I felt lined up correctly...but after doubling to start things off...I had a 1-2-4-10 washout and a missed single 10-pin in frames 3 and 4, respectively. I was thinking, "here I go again! A strike or two intermingled between numerous open frames!" But, I struck out.

    After the success of Game 1, I was confident going into Game 2...started out with a 7-bagger. I literally threw 15 strikes in a row from frame 5 of Game 1 through frame 7 of Game 2. Thoughts of a 300-game starting sinking in about frame 6 or 7. But...it would not be as I made a bad shot...a little too far to the right...and it couldn't make it back...leaving me with a 2-5. I figured I was still on track for a 276...which would be my highest ever (sanctioned)...but barely missed converting the 3-10 baby split in the 9th and then was blessed with a 7-10 split on a slightly pulled shot in the 10th.

    I was still feeling confident going into Game 3. I left a 10-pin on a decent shot in the 2nd frame, so I decided a ball change was probably overdue. But...after striking in frame 3...made a 'slightly' bad shot in frame 4...left another 10-pin. After missing the first two 10-pins way to the left...I must have over-compensated and guttered. Three 10-pins....0% success rate at picking them up. I was able to make some better shots (and get a bit lucky) and ran 4 strikes together before a 1-2-10 washout on a miss to the right. Struck out in the 10th to salvage the 200+ game (and win our team's high game pot for the 2nd time that night)...but the first two strikes were garbage.

    Highest series I've bowled since a 682 on 10-7-15...and 3rd highest series I've thrown (career). I'm sure the other team wasn't very amused that the 171 average bowler with 41 pins of handicap put a 284-275-242 801 handicap series on them. 4 of our 5 bowlers bowled well....not sure how many points we took...but the last place team (us) put a beatdown on them last night. Bumped my average up from 171 to 175. I'd love to see it back at 195 by the end of the long season.

    Things are just feeling better. The timing and footwork seems better...but I still gotta working on my forward spine tilt and not bending my elbow....I noticed those two things weren't good. And, of course, I gotta make single-pin spares....tonight was rediculous that I scored my 3rd highest sanctioned series ever yet didn't have even ONE clean game.

    Awesome! Sounds like me Tuesday. I made 3/4 7 pins (lefty here) but didn't have as many strikes as you did. I finished 201, 236, 198 (635). My average was 172 coming in so my handicap series was 791. We are in 2nd in our division and played the 2nd place team in the other division and took 5 out of 7 points mostly because of me (not bragging cause I have cost us a lot of games this year).
    The only change I made was hitting my ball with a 2000 CTD pad. Other than that I didn't change anything and I actually picked up my spares...lol.

    Again, good going and keep it up!

    Thursday Men's League: low-oil synthetics

    553 Series: 192-180-181

    PinPal Stats:
    First Ball Average: 8.44 pins
    Strikes: 31%
    Spares: 70% picked up

    Single Pin spares: 77% (7/9)
    Most common single-pin leave: 10-pin (4x)

    Multiple Pin spares: 20% (7/11)
    Most common multi-pin leave: 63%.

    Splits: 0% (0/1)

    Average over 3 games: 184.33.
    Average had I picked up all single-pin spares: 191.33.

    Played the PBA pro's team today...so it seemed everyone on our team (including myself) was a little bit on edge. It seemed like everyone wanted to put their best foot forward.

    Game 1 I only struck 4 times; but managed to pick up most of my spares.

    Switched to the Warning Sign for Game 2. More of the same, except I opened 3 times (instead of 2 in Game 1) including an open in the 10th.

    Switched to the Scandal Pearl in Game 3. Only 1 open, but I couldn't strike worth a poo.

    It kinda stinks that when my timing finally comes back (2 weeks ago)...we end up having a week off for Thanksgiving. So, the timing seemed a bit off. The good thing is I'm recognizing some of the flaws as issues I'd worked on in the past...so at least by recognizing them I kinda know what I need to do to fix them.

    Thursday Men's League: low-oil synthetics

    568 Series: 186-200-182

    PinPal Stats:
    First Ball Average: 8.97 pins
    Strikes: 40%
    Spares: 68% picked up

    Single Pin spares: 87% (7/8)
    Most common single-pin leave: 10-pin (3x)

    Multiple Pin spares: 54% (6/11)
    Most common multi-pin leave: 6-10 (3x).

    Splits: 20% (1/5)

    Average over 3 games: 189.33.
    Average had I picked up all single-pin spares: 193.00.

    First time back after 2 weeks in Chicago for a training (work).

    Game 1 I wasn't carrying very well, but I was clean through the first 9 frames. Then I completely choked on a 6-10 to ruin it. Still managed to win the card game and beat my opponent by a pin...so I guess it was okay.

    Game 2 the lanes were transitioning and each signal the lanes gave me was a friggin split. 6-7 in the first frame, 4-6 in the 4th frame, then another 6-7 in the 5th frame. Every other frame, until the 9th, was a strike and I made all my spares...finished with an even 200. Picked up the 6-7 split in the 5th and won another card game...so not bad.

    Game 3 was my usual craptastic self...2 open frames...3-4 strikes...blah blah blah... I changed to the Warning Sign midway through after a flat 10 in the 4th frame and a weak strike in the 5th frame. But...just made too bad of shots to figure out if it was a good idea or not.

    Thursday Men's League: low-oil synthetics

    481 Series: 144-148-189

    PinPal Stats:
    First Ball Average: 8.73 pins
    Strikes: 26%
    Spares: 54% picked up

    Single Pin spares: 58% (7/12)
    Most common single-pin leave: 10-pin (4x)

    Multiple Pin spares: 50% (5/10)
    Most common multi-pin leave: 4-7 (3x).

    Splits: 0% (0/2)

    Average over 3 games: 160.33.
    Average had I picked up all single-pin spares: 179.33.

    Games 1 and 2 I just couldn't strike....struck once in each game and was abysmal at shooting spares.

    Game 3 was much better...only two open frames; but one open was a missed 6-pin in the 10th frame which cost me a chance at a 200 game to salvage the night.

    I moved much further inside than normal...but just couldn't find a line. If I stood 18.5 targeting 10.5...it'd hook through the nose and leave me 4-pin combos. If I tried to stand a half board left of center and target 12.5...the ball just didn't seem to have enough revs to get back to the pocket...or it would hit pocket and leave me a corner-pin.

    Just feels like I lost my timing again over the holiday break. When I was in time and making good shots...I would either strike or hit pocket and leave a corner pin. If my timing was off...I'd end up pulling the shot through the nose or go Brooklyn.
