Today's practice games
Practicing releases 179
Then threw a 3 game set 257 / 234 / 190
tried to move deeper a couple of frames in the last game and that didn't work or would have been over 200 .
Went back to the lanes for some practice.
Shot a 192, 190, 196, 189, and 215 for a 196 avg.
I would be pretty happy if I can start the season out with some scores like this.

Start of wed league
started with a 178 / 217 / 149
The first game ended with 5 strikes and second game started out with 6 strikes then I dropped the next one right in the ditch ...
Third game was disappointing because I left 4 10 pins and missed every one, had I hit them would have been a 190's game.
Not too bad for a first night out I guess, ended up with a 181 average for the night, don't know if we won any games because they don't
have the handicaps set up yet.
Right handed Stroker, high track ,about 13 degree axis tilt. PAP is located 5 9/16” over 1 3/4” up.Speed ave. about 14 mph at the pins. Medium rev’s.High Game 300, High series 798

Second night of wed league 203/176/149---528
I'm a bit disappointed had 6 or 7 in a row and dropped a ball in the gutter but picked up the spare, then couldn't finish at the end and opened the 9th and 10th
had I converted would have been a 240 game....and so the night went second game had 5 in a row I think and opened the last 3 frames , same with the 3rd game had a struggle but couldn't finish and again opened 9 and 10
Left several washouts 1 2 4 10 and couldn't pick them up, on a good note did convert most of the 10 pins and 10/8's
Maybe I shouldn't be too disappointed, at this point last year I was at 160 for avg and didn't get it moved up to 178 where I am now until week 17 .
I am throwing the ball a lot better and need to get back my finishing skills and make better adjustments next week.

Did a better job tonight, only left one 10 pin and converted it, converted most of my spare opportunities, even a couple of really tough ones.
186 / 188 / 219 593
Week 4
2 ok games with a crap game between.
184- 149- 182 / 515
Had trouble all night on lane 8 , couldn't string strikes together and didn't get strikes or even marks in the 10th
Bowled as a sub in a morning league, they bowl 4 games every week !
As fate would have it I was bowling on the exact same lanes as the wed night league !
Today I rolled 239--167---181---201 for a 788 0r 197 avg
They have 3 man teams, I was bowling with one older retired guy who looks like a cross between Santa and Jesus and a younger kid who is the night manager of another bowling center.
