Nymike's scores

[Aslan]

How was your spare shooting?

Usually when I see a 206 and a 108...either it's a high rev guy that just couldn't adjust to rapidly drying lanes...or in most cases is a very poor spare shooter who scores 206 when he's striking but once he starts leaving things...scores drop substantially.

Yesterday I was 12/23 on spares 6/9 on single pins, but only 3/10 in game 3, no strikes that game.

Today 08/12
112, 137, 152, 164, 142, 136 843
Only 6 strikes in 6 games, I expect like 3 per game. Spares 29/55, 8/16 on single pins. It's possible l wore out my ball, it has probably 250 to 300 games on it. When the fall season begins ill buy another ball, and plastic ball as well. Tomorrow seeing my coach. Also my thumb is so blistered and probably won't heal till amf promotion ends, ill cut down on my volume then. My goal for summer league was 150 average, it's 134 now, but if you cut the first two weeks out its about 145. Still want my first 500 in a league, 2 weeks left in the summer.

You're way too similar to me about 18 months ago. Thats strange. Like seeing a person on the street that looks just like you.

The good news is:
1) You're going to the coach earlier than I did. (That will save you time since you won't be working on things you invented that later turn out to be ridiculous)
2) Even though it seems tiring and people think you're crazy…it's still bowling. And bowling is almost always better than doing most any other thing.
3) As you get better…you'll practice less…naturally. But you'll get more out of it.

The key is to get as good as you can before you blow out a knee, elbow, back, ankle, or shoulder. Thats the trick all bowlers face.

No bowling injuries, but all kinds of powerlifting injuries for me lol, sciatica was flaring up, as soon as it healed another back injury, i dropped deadlift from my lifting for the time being, and its the only lift i was decent at.

To avoid injury, I've limited my lifting to forks, spoons, knives, and glasses.

Not to mention, with your lackluster sex life, you don't have to worry about those pesky pelvic injuries.

Glass is half full.

I believe they call that projecting.

Just because you have issues in your life doesn't mean the rest of us have the same issues.

08/18 league night
131, 142, 149 422
Game 1, not a single strike
Game 2 had a double
Game 3 4 strikes including a double on the 10th. I wish we had one more game in a league perhaps I'd post a score in 180-220 range. My team was mediocre team for the first 8 weeks of the season, barely above .500, suddenly we caught fire and swept 3 straight weeks, and next week will play for championship, there is no money prize in this league in the summer. My anchor carried us for third straight week. He came in averaging 138, and posted his second consecutive 500. I wanted to catch him in average, won't happen since he out bowled me by 78 points today. Our opponent today was the team of a dude I posted about bowling 575 with 130 average, well today he bowled 375. We won the first 2 games by a total of 4 points. Last game we won conformably.

No gutter bowls today, but only 7.97 first bowl average.
6 strikes
11/25 spares, 4/8 single pins

Some quality coaching should go a long way toward improving your game,maybe you should have your ball checked by a skilled PSO and see if it needs maintenance and adjustment, your thumb might be suffering due to a ball fit issue. If you're not sure how good the original ball fitter was, maybe you can get a reference from your coach and see someone he uses to take a look at your ball.
Good Luck getting that first 500!

Actually, projecting has multiple definitions…but I do apologize if my post interrupted your Hugh Hefner lifestyle.
