Since you throw so many strikes do you practice your spare shooting at all?
Week 22
Well that was a stupid way to start the first and second game... I was just hoping to get a mark in the 3rd game for the first frame! lol. I nearly had a 300, but I'm not that upset about it because it wouldn't have been a very good one. I had a few lucky strikes the first half of the game. I was shocked that I even got that many strikes the last game considering the carry wasn't very good the first two games.

Nice shooting as usual Jason. The 2 10 pin leaves would have me frustrated as heck. Last week I started both of my first 2 games with a 10 pin leave. Missed the first converted the second.

I haven't practiced bowling in over a year. I used to be dead on for my 10 pins, but since I quit practicing I've missed them more. I know I could fix the issue with even just one solid practice devoted towards converting them, but I'm pretty much only bowling leagues and a few local tournaments, and for the tournaments, I'm very good at picking them up. I think it's more of a focus issue than anything, since it's league bowling. But yeah, I don't like missing them, and even though my average is already that high, I'd bet if I just picked up 90% of them my average would be a few pins higher. For this league this season, I've picked up 43/52 10 pins (82%). Aside from that, I've converted 80 out of the other 83 single pins (missed two 4 pins, and a 7). And obviously the majority of the other opens are splits.Originally Posted by circlecity
Thanks! Yeah, I wasn't very happy, especially after my bad night on Wednesday. I was happy I rebounded from those poor starts and finished with a good night. I've changed my line again on 10 pins, so we'll see how this new one does. I did well yesterday picking them up.
