Thank you! It was one of those nights where everything just came together and felt great. The trick is repeating it, lol

I seem to have hit a bit of a hot streak here.

Tues Men's:

266, 227, 223 - 716 series

Strikes: 73% (25/34)
Spares: 77% (7/9)
- Single Pin: 100% (4/4)
- Multi Pin: 60% (3/5)
- Splits: 0% (0/2)
First Ball Average: 9.56

Game 1 I had a legitimate shot at a 300. I went front 8 and threw what I felt was a good ball, looked like a good ball and hit like a good ball to leave a pocket 7-10, then proceeded to strike out. I made a move a couple frames too late on one lane in game 2 (my only issues with transition tonight! Woo!) and then was on pace for a 260+ in game 3 when my thumb stuck and I got a 4/6/7 split in the 9th while working on a double. Very happy to get a 700+ here as I hadn't had one in this league this year yet, and I do have a bit of a hard time with the long timing and quick transitions for 5-person teams.

Thurs Mixed:

246, 216, 278 - 740 series

Strikes: 74% (26/35)
Spares: 87% (7/8)
- Single Pin: 85% (6/7)
- Multi Pin: 100% (1/1)
- Splits: NA% (0/0)
First Ball Average: 9.71

On fire again. Had a nice line with the Hy Road game 1, was a little over/under at the end of the game and switched to the haywire for game 2. Solid game but I dumped a 10 pin for my only open of the night. Game 3 I was dialed in, playing different lines on each lane actually. Had a ringing 10 in the 7th, and a 10 on the fill ball.

The only difference I can see is a very minor tweak I made in my delivery a couple weeks ago right before the 700s started. I'm also just on a hot streak - timing is just right every week, my accuracy is spot on, I'm seeing transition more clearly than I think I ever have, etc. It's a great feeling and although I figure I will have to come back down to earth at some point (the carry isn't gonna be 75% strike rate forever regardless), I'm gonna ride it as long as I can!

Nice scores! Gotta love back-to-back 700 series.

Tuesday Men's:

267, 267, 245 - 779 series

Strikes: 77% (27/35)
Spares: 85% (6/7)
- Single Pin: 80% (4/5)
- Multi Pin: 100% (2/2)
- Splits: NA% (0/0)
First Ball Average: 9.66

Another huge series. Everything was timing right and my adjustments were on point as well. Game 1 I started with a 4 pin and was strikes until 9th frame when I left a 10 pin. Game 2 was front 7, then a couple of ringing 10s that I adjusted for on my next shot and finished strong. Game 3 started with a flat 10 which I dumped in the gutter (doing myself no favors towards gettign an 800) then in the 7th "officially" lost the 800 with a ring 10. I would have been a lot closer, into the last frame - and then who knows what happens - had I covered that spare in frame 1. Still a new high series!

Thursday mixed:

177, 214, 165 - 556 series

Strikes: 45% (15/33)
Spares: 61% (11/18)
- Single Pin: 75% (7/12)
- Multi Pin: 33% (2/6)
- Splits: 0% (0/2)
First Ball Average: 8.88

Back to earth. Something was off in my game and I started forcing stuff which led to bad shots, bad carry, and bad spare throwing. I'm not a 250 average bowler (as the last few weeks have indicated) and this was a pretty stark reminder that things have a way of getting back to mean. 223 pins difference between the 2 days! I'll chalk it up to bad timing issues and see if they are gone next time out.

Jesus dude.

I'm gonna add you to Vdubtx's list of people that need to step it up to the next level. Isn't a house shot getting boring?

But, wow...good bowling!!

Good Lord. I thought I might be the high guy this week. Nice series!

Thanks Aslan. One of my goals in the next couple of years is to get to Nationals and start doing a few scratch tournaments (NEBA if anyone is familiar). I can definitely say though that spare shooting needs to get better for that. As for getting boring - there's always room to improve up to a 900

Thank you! Keep up the good bowling on your end too.

So far I've done one NEBA tournament. Even though I didn't cash, I was happy not to embarras myself. I'm thinking of entering the one at Nutmeg Bowl and maybe the one in East Haven this year.

Very nice set! Nationals is a blast and something everyone should experience. Start asking around about teams that might need bowlers. I ended up going last year because a team had a guy drop out and needed someone to fill in.
