Nice set.

[mc_runner]

Thank you! Looking forward to getting back on the lanes this week. Couple weeks off so should be interesting.

Tuesday Men's:

238, 194, 223 - 655 (Clean)

Strikes: 55% (19/34)
Spares: 100% (15/15)
- Single Pin: 100% (13/13)
- Multiple Pin: 100% (2/2)
Splits: NA (0/0)
First Ball Average: 9.35

No really big games, but I threw well and kept it clean - which is always a really nice feeling. 11 of my 13 single pin leaves were 10 pins. I wasn't really following through correctly which I think contributed to the high number. Aside from that, I only missed pocket on one ball, after switching in the middle of game 2 to the haywire it dropped off to the right on the first shot, too much to recover with it and left a 5 count (bucket plus 7). Also really happy with my spare conversions, miss a few of those and a good night turns lousy pretty fast. Being off 2 weeks I think I was using more muscle memory which helped!


Thurs Mixed:

223, 268, 195 - 686 series

Strikes: 63% (21/33)
Spares: 75% (9/12)
- Single Pin: 80% (8/10)
- Multiple Pin: 50% (1/2)
Splits: 0% (0/1)
First Ball Average: 9.55

Switched balls from hyroad to haywire really early after getting over/under right out of hte gate. After switching I began piling up strikes, ended game 1 well and opened front 7 in game 2 before 2 10pins. Game 3 I blew the 700 by finally breaking my 10 pin made streak by dumping 2 of them in the gutter... whoops. We pulled out the game though.

Really happy with how both of these nights went. Felt good to get back out there and I didn't feel any rust. Tuesday's team is in the running (which would be a first), really trying to close out the season there. Averages are 213 and 210 respectively.

Nice week, both solid days after the break which can be hard. How many week's left in the season?

[mc_runner]

Thanks baker. For tuesday there are 5 left (although it's looking likely that this week is going to get cancelled due to a snowstorm) and 8 left for Thursday. THursday's already running late into the spring from a few cancellations, hopefully we're just about over that now!

[Aslan]

A clean series. Well rolled.

[mc_runner]

Thanks Aslan! Picking up all spares is a really satisfying feeling : )

Tuesday Mens - cancelled due to a late season blizzard. ugh.

Thursday Mixed:
212, 205, 205 - 622 series

Strikes: 52% (18/34)
Spares: 73% (11/15)
- Single Pin: 83% (10/12)
- Multiple Pin: 33% (1/3)
Splits: 0% (0/2)
First Ball Average: 9.32

This set was not clean. I started with a dumped 10 in frame 1 game 1, actually. I didn't get much warm up in and it showed... I wasn't really comfortable with my release all night. I did finish pretty well in games 1 and 2 to keep us close in 1 and struck out to win in game 2. Game 3 was going well but I ended with a 7-10 split that I thought felt good off my hand. Eh, what can ya do. 3 200s on a night where I didn't feel super comfortable on the lanes is a win in my book.

Tuesday Mens:

225, 244, 171 - 640 series

Strikes: 55% (19/34)
Spares: 69% (9/13)
- Single Pin: 100% (8/8)
- Multiple Pin: 20% (1/5)
Splits: 0% (0/3)
First Ball Average: 9.32

Game 1 and 2 had similar stories - clean minus a big split. Game 1 was a 7-10, game 2 was a 4-9. Both on strings. I was using the hyroad and although it had a great look for the first 2, the line was gone even after adjustments by the end of game 2. I made a ball change, up to the haywire, but couldn't find a line that worked (had moved left, but after a few frames I wasn't going in correctly or consistently) so I went back to the hyroad and ground out the game. Bleh. Kind of got into my old bad habits there at the end and the series fell apart after a really good start.

Thurs Mixed:

170, 237, 234 - 641 series

Strikes: 51% (17/33)
Spares: 85% (12/14)
- Single Pin: 88% (8/9)
- Multiple Pin: 80% (4/5)
Splits: 0% (0/1)
First Ball Average: 9.27

Game 1 was a mess. Timing bad, release bad, I could tell I was forcing it. Paid for it with a lot of inconsistencies. I don't know what changed but game 2 was way better, as was game 3. Both opens came in game 1, cleaned up nicely from there. If I had to guess what changed, in game 2/3 I was making sure I followed through and posted the shot, which helped with the rest of the stuff.

Tuesday Mens:

235, 237, 231 - 703 series

Strikes: 65% (23/35)
Spares: 90% (9/10)
- Single Pin: 100% (7/7)
- Multiple Pin: 66% (2/3)
Splits: 0% (0/1)
First Ball Average: 9.49

Started out with a nice line with the HyRoad, adjusted from there. Lanes broke down in game 2 and 3 but I was able to keep up with the transition today (always really happy when I'm able to stay ahead of it!). Really only missed on one ball, which was a split in the third game - clean besides that. Very consistent scores and helped the team to stay in the hunt, they were struggling with their games - but so was the other team, fortunately for us.

Thurs Mixed:

224, 216, 228 - 668 series

Strikes: 57% (19/33)
Spares: 91% (11/12)
- Single Pin: 91% (11/12)
- Multiple Pin: NA% (0/0)
Splits: NA% (0/0)
First Ball Average: 9.52

I didn't realize I essentially threw a no tap 900 until I was updating these scores, lol. I can't really claim that because I missed a spare in the 10th of game 2. Other than that, clean! Pretty much on spot again with my line, release and shot, was hammering the pocket all night. It's time to de-oil and touch up the surface on the haywire though, I've been using it the past couple weeks as a ball-down from my hyroad - and not needing to move in when I switch to it (just basically smooths out the shot when the HyRoad gets over/under).

Solid week right there MC.
