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

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)

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!
