Almost a carbon copy score-wise of last week:

236, 210, 222 - 668 series

Strikes: 57% (19/33)
Spares: 83% (10/12)
- Single Pin: 100% (9/9)
- Multiple Pin: 33% (1/3)
Splits: 0% (0/2)
First ball average: 9.42

Game 1 was all single pins and strikes, using the haywire. Game 2 I changed to the hyroad as transition began, was doing well outside of a badly tugged 6-7 split and was sitting on a double going into the 10th frame where I promptly threw a blower 7-10. Ugh. Game 3 was clean but was a bit tough with the oil breakdown. Again, a pretty solid night overall!

I wasn't feeling very good - battling a cold - ended up with an OK night.

Game 1 - Timing was off, was tugging everything. Managed to put together a clean game, definitely played the THS inside hold a bit unintentionally.
Game 2 - Worked on posting my shot, switched to the haywire when the hyroad was a little over/under. Had a good game going until a big split in the 10th.
Game 3 - Started off with another split, made a ball change back to the hyroad and zoned in. Was on 6 in a row and buried a ringing 10 pin in the 10th - and whiffed the spare when my thumb stuck. Oh, we also needed me to make it to win the game... bleh.

Left a lot of pins out there last night, but still ended up with a series right around average. I think my last 6 series or something have been between 650 and 670, pretty consistent at least lol.

Didn't pick up a ball for 2 weeks and was exhausted - it showed in my physical game. Was unbalanced here and there all night - didn't really help that single pins were being left everywhere. Had a hard time stringing together anything in games 1 and 3, mostly just covered my spares. A couple off-shots produced splits and/or washouts.

Hopefully will find time to get in for practice ahead of next week so my balance and timing are back!

I don't really feel there is that much to say here. I was either strike, single pin, or split. I wasn't getting great carry especially with the haywire, which I just resurfaced and finally appears to be dead. I messed with that a few frames in games 1 and 3, but went back and used the Hyroad the rest of the games. Tons of single pins again, lots of 7s and 10s.

Eh, another mediocre night. My haywire, which I resurfaced last week, was actually dialed in in practice (right down the 10 board, ha!) so I started there. XXXX, then the 10 pins started. Adjusting just left other single pins. I also conveniently tweaked my knee doing something in the middle of game 1 and that took a couple ibuprofen and a few frames to get under control. Missed a 10 pin in there, which I wasn't pleased about. Game 2 with the hyroad was better save for a big 4 after a XXX start. Game 3 was over/under with the hyroad and just no drive on the haywire. I didn't want to go with pearl based on the over/under with the hyroad. Just kinda grinded it out... I ordered a new ball through my PSO (DD Trick) but it wasn't in quite yet, should be for next week.

279, 255, 226 - 760 series

Strikes: 77% (27/33)
Spares: 100% (7/7)
- Single Pin: 100% (3/3)
- Multiple Pin: 100% (4/4)
Splits: NA% (0/0)
First ball average: 9.57

First 3 games (save for a few frames when I got it and practice) with the DDT. I can accurately say I made a wise choice... the ball was perfect for my shot. Clean set, too! I had to only move 1 board the whole night as the more-inside line I'd been throwing finally started to break down. Game 1 I was a 4 pin away in frame 4, then rattled off 16 straight strikes until a ringing 10 pin in game 2. Game 3 I finally had to hit my marks but when i did the ball drove through like a truck.

THe exciting thing about this week was that the 760 came when I missed a few shots... the ball recovered really nicely and allowed for miss area downlane (something I haven't had the last several weeks). Excited to see what the next few weeks will hold. Also, we managed to sweep and are in the second period rolloff next week - against a friendly team to top it off. Would really be something to take the first 2 of 3

I thought the EPA banned DDT?

Nice to see the clean set. It seems like it should be easier to stay clean when you're getting a lot of strikes, but I seem to forget how to make spares when I haven't had to shoot one in five or six frames. Good luck next week!

760, nice scoring and a clean 30, well done !

Very nice shooting MC.

Tried the Trick at the Storm/Roto demo last weekend and it didn't match up too well for me. Did get a Hyper Cell Fused. Will be using that tomorrow night.

Very nice!
