hammer I can say this you still have some nice games avging 180
Results of first time out at Brunswick house league night.........
My scores were 168, 191 and 184. Last time I did any bowling was at our AMF in the beginning of May that closed down this September. I didn't touch a ball until tonight. I found a good track for my Raw Anger ball and just about stayed there for all three games on both alleys. Because I didn't have any practice in the Brunswick house before our league night I was coming in green behind the ears. I was lucky and found a good target area on both alleys. My Anger ball was working very nice. I used it as my strike ball and as a spare ball on anything from the 5 pin right. Left of the 5 pin I used my urethane Blue Hammer ball. The only thing I had to get used to was the slide. At AMF I could slide with no trouble but in the Brunswick house I hardly slid at all. I don't know if the approach needed cleaning or if that is the way their house is.
Once I got used to the slide thing I was able to make an approach and slide without killing myself. What seemed to work well was my swing and release. I was able to keep a light grip with my thumb through out the swing and because of that I was able to go from a cup position to an uncup at the release. My revs were pretty good also. I didn't seem to be muscling the swing from the top of the backswing. I was able to get far enough down and give it some juice right before the release. My thought for tonight was to make sure I stayed behind the ball until I got to the release area. So for not having touched a ball since May and not having any practice over the summer at the Brunswick house I didn't shoot three games that bad. I did miss some easy spares that I should have made but I am not complaining. Just think of the games I could be shooting if I started practicing twice a week. I am glad that we were able to get in the Brunswick house and not face a bowling season at home. It sure felt good to throw the Anger ball again.

Sounds like a good night for the long layoff. Keep it up!
Hammer I'm happy you and your teammates found a place to bowl. With that said I feel the approach and slide at every house feels different no two have felt the same to me. You just have to adjust you game as best as you can. Keep us up to date every week on how the new house feels or is playing for you.
As we all know no two alleys at any house are the same. Your ball can work good on one alley and not the other. I will be interested to see how my ball works when we bowl the next Saturday.
