    Meh

    172, 267, 186 - 625 series

    I was locked in during practice, but when the game started I got very good at leaving all the back row pins. After fiddling around with some adjustments for a bit (without improvement) I changed balls and piled strikes up with the Code X in game 2. That line was gone by game 3 and it was just a struggle finding the right side of the head pin.

    I did myself no favors by missing 4 easy spares. 3 ten pins, and chopped a 6 off the 6-10. I really need practice at corner pins but realistically have no time to do so... I can get in for league and that's about it currently.

    Missed a couple weeks:

    182, 204, 193 - 579 series

    End pair, super humid and really tough to keep the ball to the right of the head pin. Everything I threw ended up rolling out, and it was tough to find consistent carry. Got a bunch of splits here to sink anything that I got going, and also missed way to many 10 pins.

    6/17 -
    185, 205, 215

    So they are putting in new lanes AND new pins throughout the summer and this was my first crack at them. I didn't mind how they rolled at all. But, I left EIGHTEEN single pins - a new personal record! 12 of them were 10 pins, I picked up 11. My only open on the night was game 1, frame 1 where I wiggled the 10 but just barely missed inside. It was really tough for me to find the right angle into the pocket, obviously. I pulled out the DDT for game 3 and definitely had better reaction. Definitely felt like I needed something that would have turned more aggressively off the pattern for games 1 and 2, though. I'm in the market.

    Dang...I don't know if I've ever left 18 over three games. At least 11/12 was pretty darn good!

    It was brutal. close angles, flat 10. Move in, flat 10. Move out a bit, 4 or a 9 (nope!). Pretty much didn't matter which ball I was throwing, my angle through the pocket wasn't good. It happens, sometimes I just don't match up and I don't have nearly enough equipment right now to do so. I'm pretty happy I was making my 10s, if I had the issues I had been having recently I'd have been lucky to get 550.

    Week 2 of new lanes/pins went much better.

    231, 222, 270 - 723 series

    Was really a good night besides a couple of splits (missed outside and ball went through the nose) and a washout in games 1&2. Game 3 I read the transition well and stopped swinging out as much, which worked like a charm! Ended on 9 in a row. Last week I felt like I had my "feel" back, and last night felt the same way. Hopefully, I can keep that up.

    Thanks... that one felt really good to finally put together!

    7/1:

    236, 158, 247 - 641 series

    Kind of a weird/inconsistent series that ended up just about average. Was on point game 1, a missed spare away from another 247. Just 3 single pins, rest were X. Game 2... I had 4 splits, including 3 pocket 7-10s. Moving didn't help, ball change didn't help. I basically hit transition and flailed big time. However, game 3 I moved a little left, squared up a bit and moved the ball up in my stance... and that was the ticket. Same as game 1, except I made my 3 single pins (2 7s and a 10)

    With a few hiccups, my game feels like it's coming together a bit consistently.

    7/8

    244, 257, 255 - 756 series

    29/36 strikes on the night, 2 opens... a 7-10 in game 1 and a missed 10 pin in game 2. The code X has been pretty lights out on these new lanes, and squaring up/swinging less has been the adjustment to make as the transition happens and lanes break down. I missed on one shot (which was a bucket) over 3 games... felt really good, etc. No complaints!

    Thanks vdub. Always nice to get a good week in after a few rough ones.

    7/15: 226, 202, 196 - 624 series

    Had a few splits and missed a couple spares. There was something off with my timing/release and truthfully was lucky to get as high as I did, especially with some pretty serious breakdown by game 3. Just grinded it out.

    7/22: 210, 246, 224 - 680 series

    Much better here. Made my spares, adjusted to the lanes well and felt a lot better with my throws. Due to a scheduling issue we ended up bowling the same team both weeks, and completely evened out for points.
