Ugh. This was a USBC blue pattern to start with, but singles and doubles had both already bowled and burnt up the lanes ahead of us. I matched up poorly again (I expected a fresh pattern this time) and brought my newly resurfaced haywire and hyroad along with a spare ball. The haywire was burning up before 30 feet. Game 1 I was actually clean, but only had 2 strikes. I was playing wayyyy inside (over the middle arrow out to about 7) but had so many single pins. By game 2 that line was toast and nothing I could do worked. I ended up with a line on one of the lanes and splits regardless of lineup/mark on the other. I should have just tried to go brooklyn, to be honest. I was moving every frame in game 3 to try to get a line, which I finally found in the 9th frame. I closed strong at least - with the hyroad throwing essentially up the middle + loft at about 19 mph, it made a late turn at just the right time to carry corners.
My 516 series was high set on my team. The other team were all 220+ averages, including a guy who was at 240. he didn't come close to 600. It was a humbling experience for pretty much everyone on the pair.
