Aslan - no kidding. The only bright side is that I could tell exactly what was happening both weeks.
Tim - Moving is always a hassle. Between getting your stuff to the other lanes, having a longer break and having to adapt to different conditions... especially if you don't get a practice throw!

Really, didn't throw the ball poorly here. I had issues with carry and over/under, and had a split in each game - all on what seemed to be good shots. Just couldn't really get much together or get any friendly action. Lanes were playing quite different from each other. On an interesting note, before league the oil machine stripped one of the lanes without applying oil. It was kind of interesting to see what at first a reactive ball did with zero oil (left gutter after 20 feet), and even plastic hooking into the left gutter at 40 feet! We ended up getting that fixed before play started, obviously.

Was a little shaky game 1 on the left lane, but once I adapted my shot a bit between the 2 I was locked in. Game 2 was front 6, then a 10 pin (miss) as I was anticipating transition that wasn't there yet. game 3 I started front 8 before leaving a flat 10 (also missed). All 3 games with the Code X, which has been giving me a nice line in this league recently. Aside from those 2 missed 10s, nice night overall. Left quite a few pins out there though, make those and also a chop I had in game 1 frame 1, that set's in the 730s. Spares matter!
