Strikes win games, but spares win championships!!
Keep up your good spare shooting.
There's Hope!
I was chatting with the desk guy last night after rolling a couple of games. I mentioned that I really got my spare practice in and I wish I could have strung more strikes together. (I had one double, whoop-de-do-dah.)
He gave the pretty standard answer, "Spare shooting is really important. Leagues and tournaments wins or losses usually come because of that ONE missed spare."
"I know, I know, but it would be nice to have more strikes along with picking up my spares!" I replied.
He answered, "You know, all it takes is a double along with picking up your spares for big scores."
Wait. What? So there's hope! That seems totally do-able!

Remember what shooter mcgavin said - I eat pieces of..... oh wait wrong sport
clean with a double equals 190-210 depending on count
Thanks Storm!!
That's what I mean. I feel like a weight has been lifted.
I know how to keep score but I guess I haven't put much thought into it especially with it being automatic nowadays.
I thought I had to string like 5-6 strikes together for a 200+ score.
While this is true...don't forget. All spares with 9 counts would be a 190 as well. Spares count! Wish I could get more of mine...my goal for the month!

Clean games leave you feeling great...
Feelin' CLEAN
Bowled a 196 second game. 2 opens with a 4 bagger.
I'm definately more relaxed yet a little more focused on how to score "better." (If that makes any sense.)
