    I haven't posted here in awhile, and may be pretty spotty in general. I'm at about 75% likelihood taking a year off... just too many unknowns with the virus, and I don't want to be stuck in a position where I'm putting anyone at risk, or get on the hook financially if the center closes after 3 weeks, etc. I'm not actually feeling a ton of draw (in fact, I was a little bit burnt out), so thinking I may just wait it out a bit or possibly go in as a sub.

    Well, I did an about face and will be bowling since I decided that bowling with a mask (which happens to be what is acceptable to me, no politics involved) is better than no bowling at all, so I signed up. Starting to miss it and the evenings. Although, summer off may be a good idea in the future... albeit with some practice next time. kind of scared to see how 4 months of no bowling in any way will translate.

    Just chiming in for my week 1 scores. Took several months off and went to practice a few days before, to shake out the cobwebs and make sure my equipment was still good/not cracked, and glad I did. Took a couple games to get my timing and release back... and definitely felt it the day after.

    By the time league rolled around I was pretty much fine. I kept my entire approach simple and just tried to focus on timing & follow through.

    224, 235, 247 - 706 series

    1 missed spare (first 10 pin attempt) for 29/30 clean. I'll take every bit of it, I was just trying to not embarrass myself.

    Thanks Timmy, unfortunately it's been steadily downhill since, as expected really:

    611, 628, 532

    I've really struggled with my 10 pins, consistently dumping them in the gutter just before the pin. Moving around hasn't helped too much, but I may have found something on my most recent series after missing the first 4 but then making a few.

    I had a short streak where I was making most of my 7's (lefty here) but then lost it and was only making about 60-65% of them. I pre-bowled today so had the time to go slow and thing things through. I had stood in one place for a 7 pin but would move my feet 2 boards if the 4 was there. Today I stood in the same spot for either and just moved my target at the arrows 2 boards and it helped. Today I was 4/5 and the one I missed I tugged. Can't say for sure my 'new' method helped or maybe I was just more accurate today.

    Got sick, took a week off (head cold, but need to be careful) and came back with a different mindset/approach.

    Subbed last tuesday:
    209, 239, 275 - 723 series

    Weds:
    241, 164, 236 - 641 series

    Made a bad ball change in the middle game on Weds as we hit transition. Aside from that, couldn't have asked for much better. Hopefully this rights the ship.

    I continue to be all over the place:

    10/14:
    160, 198, 158 - 516 series (my lowest in ?? years)

    10/20:
    225, 198, 226 - 649 series

    10/21:
    183, 194, 202 - 579 series

    10/28:
    212, 199, 233 - 644 series

    I had a couple issues in my physical game, combined with a tough shot made for a couple of long weeks. Oddly, I seem to have resolved all my 10 pin issues basically wasn't dialed in much on my strike balls. Case of the tugs, hitting my leg, etc. Last week was better, KISS is something to keep in mind this year. It's easy to get the non-bowling life situations rolling in your head and lose concentration.

    Been a little bit since I updated scores:

    11/4:
    192, 207, 192 - 591 series

    11/10:
    243, 200, 179 - 622 series

    11/11:
    211, 157, 160 - 528 series

    11/18:
    216, 199, 210 - 625 series

    11/25:
    203, 246, 278 - 727 series

    12/2:
    223, 237, 244 - 704 series

    Somewhere in the 11/18 night I made a slight change to my stance before I start my approach (cradling the ball a little more). It's made my swing plane and timing WAY better, and things have really clicked the last few weeks. Struggled quite a bit on 11/4 and 11/11 especially and knew I needed to change - mechanics were just bad. Credit to one of my teammates for talking me through it. I'm still way down compared to last year in avg, but it's creeping back up.
