Bowl1820's 2015-16 Scores

[bowl1820]

week 8
Well slid back down again 158-201-143 series 502, We won all our points though.

Carry just wasn't there for me, a lot of spare shooting. I was able to up my speed some for the second game which helped, but 3rd game even that didn't help.

week 9

Well this was our first position night, But wasn't bowling much better 161-222-162 for a 545 series. We won most of the points.

At least I wasn't alone all of us on our pair were having a problem, both lanes were really playing different than is typical.

The left lane wasn't bad and I had most of my strikes on it, the right lane though the backends were flying. I had to move about 6 boards left and play deep on it.

I made a slight change in release toward the end of the 1st game and started striking. The shot held till about the end of the second game and the line was done for.

Everyones games were similar the first game, everyone struggled. The 2nd game scores all went up and the 3rd fell off. And everyone struggled in similar ways caused by the differences in the lanes.

The odd thing was watching the lanes on either side of us, they didn't have this problem. I got there a little later than usual so didn't see the lanes being oiled.

Well slump continues
Scores 162-157-192 for a 511 series, Left 5 ten pins and picked up 3.

Scores 202-152-184 for a 538 series, Left 4 ten pins and picked up 2.

Nothing really to shout about this week, The first game had high hopes. Lots of strikes at the beginning then it dwindles to just spare shooting.

Second game hardly any strikes, made most spare just didn't add up to anything. Third game strikes and spare just didn't add up here either.

Bright spot was I won brackets with those scores.

We had 2 300 games shot, down at the other end of the house.

Main change this night was I removed the white microfiber slide sole from my TPU-X's and replaced it with my old Dexter buckskin slide sole. Much better slide! I have the white microfiber slide sole broke in as much as I think it is going to get.

The White microfiber slide soles the shoe companies replaced the yellow/tan buckskin soles with, Just do not slide as like the old buckskin ones did. They'd be okay for a slicker approach, But not for our approaches.

I'm going to order a new yellow/tan buckskin one from bowlingball.com, so I can put the old one back on my SST7's.

The real bright spot is my team has been climbing the ladder, we're now in 5th place and only5 points out of 1st.

The next couple of week we play teams ahead of us, so if we can keep winning we might hit 1st place. Still got a ways to the end of the half, but we got a chance.

week 12

It took some work but, We took 4 points. My team was missing 2 players and the other team had 2 missing also (though they prebowled) so it was going fast.

week 13

Scores 158-212-192 for a 562 series

We only took 2 points, all the teams seemed to be struggling this night. There wasn't much of a backend.

I only left four 10 pins and pick up all of them.

[Blomer]

It's seems t me at least always about this time of year I struggle and then pick it up. I. Sure you will get it going again.

[bowl1820]

Scores: 139-165-164 for a 468 series.

Well at least I wasn't the only one struggling. Always next time.

I found one thing out, they changed the pattern to 42'.

[bowl1820]

Too catch up:

Week 15: 185-146-160 for a 491 series
Week 16: 188-169-201 for a 558 series
Week 17: 144-157-159 for a 460 series


Week 18:End of 1st half:
190-170-193 for a 553 series

Well this was a miserable first half, average is 9 pins below my entering average (Which was down from what it should be).

Looking at how the scores breakdown by lanes, Scoring is still higher toward the middle of the house slightly. With the low and high ends being lower (Typically because that's were theres more open bowling and they either start or finish oiling.)

Next half will have to try and learn from past mistakes and step up the pace. Really got to work on my focus, been distracted too much. But the cause appears to be clearing up, so here's hoping.



The team is not doing too bad this year, for the first half we took 50% of the points and finished in 17th place. Which was only 7 points out 7th place.

Week 19

Well its the start of a new half, but not a end to the slump. 159-143-168 for a 470 series.

Shooting a bunch of spares and keeping pretty clean, but that doesn't add up to much. Just can't string the strikes together.

Watching others who bowl similar to me, they are having similar problems to mine.
