    Oddly I had 4 chops the other night too. Chopped the 3-9, the 2-4 (yeah figure that one out for a lefty), the 5-8, the 4-7, and straight up missed another 2-4. That's 5 easy spares I should have never missed. Had a 559. Could have easily been a 600.

    Finally put together a solid week.

    Tuesday:
    277, 183, 244 - 704 series

    Practiced staying behind the ball through release a bit over the weekend (at home, just swinging the ball back and forth) which has really seemed to make a difference. Dead on with the Halo all game 1, left a 7 pin in the 6th when I got a little fast. 2-8 in the fill as I tried a bit more inside line. Game 2 I lost my timing for a few frames and ended up also missing a couple of easy spares... whiffed on a 6 pin and chopped a 2-4-5. Switched balls halfway through game 2 as the halo was getting lazy, went with the pearl and ended up on a good line save a couple of single pins. Game 3 was dead on again, had a smash pocket 7-10 but besides that went really well. Very happy to sweep and get the 700 even with a lousy game 2.

    Wednesday:
    235, 247, 241 - 723 series

    Once again had a really nice release and was able to read the lanes really well with the Halo. Just adjusted to the conditions with it as the night went on, it was hitting really well and no need to change it. By the end I was playing a more direct, faster line. Just taking what the lanes were giving me and it went really well.

    One interesting side note, all 4 of us got 700s tonight, we were all just throwing well. Felt really good as in general the conditions have been a lot tougher this year compared to the past.

    Very nice shooting. I'm hoping for my first ever 700 this year and plan to get it. Learned alot from members here after a 17 year absence.

    Thanks! I think you're getting close following some of your scores and changes. A plastic ball for spares will go a LONG way once you get comfortable with it.

    yeah if i could make my spares i'd be a decent bowler...lol. Funny thing is in my past bowling life i wasn't much of a striker but never missed spares. and i was checking my pinpal stats last night and for a 10 week stretch i was at 75% on single pin spares and 71% on multi pin with a 48% strike % (october 10th to december 12th). Since then i'm at 61% single pin and 50% multi pin with only a 39% strike % so definitely lost something here. Not that my numbers were great during that stretch but i was averaging 28 pins higher at that time (200 during that stretcth and 172 since). i think it's mostly a confidence thing at this point.

    A decent, if unspectacular week save for one game:

    Tuesday:
    217, 216, 162 - 595 series

    So they changed the pattern again which I realized very quickly. Halo was moving way too much too soon, after 2 shots in practice decided to start with the pearl. Had an OK look through game 1, got over/under game 2 and moved in/changed ball to the halo. Had a pretty good look there too for awhile. By game 3 the lanes were fried. Couldn't move in much more (and was leaving corners) so back to the pearl, with an inside line. Worked OK, but I missed 3 spares. Completely on me. I was not square to the line - struggled with that all night, but only realized it when one of the guys on the other team who I bowl with on Wednesdays told me after.

    Wednesday:
    211, 217, 224 - 653 series

    This went pretty much the same in terms of progression - outside of needing to move back to the pearl midway through game 3, just went 15-5 and it held/carried until the last frame - except I made my spares. 1 open on the night, which was frame 2 in game 1.

    Tuesday:

    266, 198, 211 - 675 series

    Threw really well game 1 with the halo pearl, ran into a bit of transition issues early in game 2. Had my only open with a big 4. Balled up to the halo and moved in which worked pretty well up until the end of game 3. 29/30 clean frames.

    Wednesday:

    216, 194, 268 - Almost the inverse of Tuesday - pattern was definitely different as well. Had to use the halo on a pretty conservative line for it to read in game 1, lanes were really tight. I wasn't on top of my physical game for the first half of the night, but covered my spares. By game 3 the pair had opened up a bit, and I went with the Pearl again... different lines/angles for each lane, but it was working! 29/30 clean here too.

    In all 2 good nights, want to work on getting ahead of the transition a little bit more.

    Haven't posted in here for awhile because I've done nothing of note at all! Last several weeks have been a bit of struggle, I'm not matching up well to the pattern and my physical game is just a bit off. Given the tougher conditions that is a recipe for single pins, over under, etc.

    Tuesdays:
    246, 224, 172 - 642
    236, 192, 197 - 625
    202, 184, 210 - 596

    Wednesdays:
    207, 238, 220 - 665
    195, 195, 202 - 592
    183, 196, 186 - 565

    I'm not closing games well either the last couple of weeks. Lots of pins still out there, regardless of how I'm doing otherwise. The only thing of note (owing to the challenging pattern the last couple weeks) is that I bowled 2 very well known pro players on that 592 night. One, coming off injury was just under 500 and the other was in the 620s.
