    I had a pretty interesting week, especially Tuesday.

    278, 256, 254 - 788 series



    Game 1 - that was a stone 9 pin
    Game 2 - pocket 7/10
    Game 3 - What looked like a great hit left the 7 pin, then in the 10th when I needed the strike, left a flat 10 (not the best shot).

    Obviously was completely locked in all night. All 3 games with the Hustle INK. The only 2 shots I really want back are the 7-10 in game 2 - big score difference there of course - and the 10th frame shot of game 3. This was kind of bittersweet, new high and to me (especially looking at the series pic) reinforces just how difficult an 800 is.

    Wednesday:
    204, 279, 224 - 707 series

    Well, It was snowing/icing but league was still on. I missed practice because i got stuck behind a plow doing 20mph for 8 miles before I reached the highway. I went with the INK again but the line/shot wasn't there. In general, Wednesdays seem to be heavier/have a different pattern than tues. Still, game 1 was good until I split in the 10th. I switched to the Code X, and bookended 10 pins with a 10-bagger in between. Game 3 the line burnt up, I moved in and basically just was happy to get to the pocket. Kept it clean.

    Off to vacation next week (leaving tonight, in fact), and hopefully won't break this little hot streak going now!

    Thanks everyone! Unfortunately, it was back to earth this week:

    Tuesday:
    192, 209, 182 - 583 series

    Basically a mess. Missing easy spares, battling over/under, etc. Taking a week off seemed to undo the good timing and delivery I had been putting together. To add insult to injury, on the last game I chopped a 2-8 spare in the 10th (left the 8) to lose total pins by 7. I hadn't missed a 2-8 in years! Was not pleased.

    Wednesday:

    195, 234, 214 - 633 series

    This one was a little better, but still nothing to write home about. Had a few issues with 10 pins, gave away a few pins there. On the plus side we swept. My wrist was sore after as were my fingers - a surefire sign I was forcing my release.

    Did OK this week.

    Tuesday:
    225, 212, 201 - 638

    Had a good line with the hustle but by game 2 it was toast. Someone coming off injury on the other team using a house ball and another guy right on my line with urethane saw to that. Balled up, had a line for a few frames, then the lanes transitioned. So it was just a matter of trying to adjust and find something that would carry from there. Not upset with the scores, and also was throwing really well.

    Wednesday:
    245, 203, 212 - 660 series

    Not bad, struggled a little later on in the set with lanes breaking down at different rates but again had 3 over 200. Overall a solid, but unspectacular week.

    212, 214, 134 - 560 series

    I had a decent line, timing, etc games 1 and 2. Made an early ball change after back to back splits in game 1, but other than that fine. Game 2 was clean. Then came game 3, which was a complete disaster! I hit a combination of transition, a poor adjustment, and timing issues in my swing causing me to pull several shots... with the lanes transitioned there was no hold and most were splits. In the 9th frame I finally fixed my timing but by that point it was too late to save the game. Lowest game in 5 years (since becoming "serious" about bowling). Oh well, that'll happen.

    Wednesday:

    249, 235, 205 - 689 series

    Way better. Timing and release were smooth and I had that nice wrist snap the whole night. Started and stayed with the INK all 3 games. Line really died out in the 8th-9th frames of game 3 but at that point I messed with my speed a little to close out the 10th. Feel a lot better about my game in general after Weds, vs. the Tuesday debacle.

    This was another ehhh week

    Tuesday:
    224, 214, 143 - 581 series

    once again couldn't get anything to fall in game 3. I missed a couple 10s in there which didn't do me any favors. The lane was chewed up by urethane and I just didn't really have anything to combat it - I really need a top-of-bag ball, and a pearl.

    Wednesday:
    204, 246, 191 - 641 series

    I actually only had 1 open the entire series, which should tell how carry was. I didn't get a strike until frame 8 in game 1, but kept it clean to grind out a 200. Game 2 I had a pretty good line - front 4, few spares, back 4. Started game 3 pretty well too, but then the line just died. Inside was still flooded, outside was burnt up. I really again found myself wishing I had a bigger ball I could move inside with (code X wasn't finishing well inside).

    Your Game 3s are even worse than my Game 1s!! You need to figure that out!
