Timmyb's Scores

Nice shooting Timmy, especially with each lane playing so differently!

It actually made it kind of fun. Both lanes started identical, but 3 moved in a hurry. I think I had already moved over 5 boards by the end of the first game, just trying to keep up. Lane 4 NEVER moved! I literally threw the same shot all night. It's not easy trying to remember what spot to stand on every time! We had a huge storm move through just before bowling started, so it was super humid in the house, which I think played into what was an odd night.

24-November. Not one of my better nights. 166/225/177--568. First game was a s**tshow. Started off with 3 opens (washout and two blown ten pins), then ran 4 straight, and then the ten pins came back. 4 in total the first game, and missed them all. Could never find a groove. Completely off balance. Second game better, but fell right back into it for the third. This thing with ten pins is really starting to p**s me off. I never used to miss them, and now I can't make them to save my life. 9 ten pins tonight, and I made 2. Picking up new ball on Friday. I wanted to send the Icon out on a better note than this.

Alright, back a little bit. 223-191-201/615. Average stays at 202. I have now gone 6 weeks without a clean game. On the up side, not one ten pin tonight, which I chalk up to the new IQ Nano. However, the ball made me pay for a couple of errant shots with three lovely washouts, a 4-6-7-10, an I did whiff a 4-8. I don't have an answer for my inconsistency with spares lately. I should have taken a direct line at the 4-8, but for some reason I thought the ball would track across. We were astonished tonight by the transition. The lanes were pretty steady until about the 3rd frame of game three, and then no one could keep up with how fast they transitioned after that. The smallest move I saw anyone make was about 4-5 boards to the left. Caught everyone way off guard.

Nice night.

First series--242/228/200=670. Weird transition on right lane kept carry down for everyone in the third game.

Second series (make up bowling)--233/213/235=681. Manager told me I couldn't do make-up bowling on the same pair I bowled on earlier. He didn't seem to have an issue with this a bunch of weeks back. Either way, turned out to my advantage.

This is now series number 7 and 8 in a row without a clean game. Ran 6 strikes in a row 4 times tonight.

The IQ Nano left me my first 10 pin tonight, and I actually made it! In 9 games bowled with this little beast, I have seen one 10 pin. Mind boggling how this thing hits.

Nice shooting! Looks like that new ball is working well!

You know how you have one of those nights that reminds you you're just not as good as you think? Yep.

178/209/242--629, and every freakin' bit of it was a battle. First game never got the wheels put on. I had to run 5 in a row just to hit 178. Game two the transition started, and I misread it. Another 4 in a row to close it. Last game was finally it, and the first clean game I've thrown in 8 weeks! I'm hoping my little 10 pin bugaboo is over. I only left two tonight, and made them both. Average is now at 206. Closing in on what I expect.

Rough game #1 but got it going after that, I wish I could hit 600's like that on my bad nights !

Tough night again. Too many damn splits, including a horrific pocket 7-10 (the rest were wholeheartedly deserved). Two single pin misses (a 2 and a 10). First night I haven't made average in 4 or 5 weeks. 203/195/214=612. 13-14 at Classic are the worst in the house, and that's coming from the owner!

Did better than I would have figured. 201/238/233=672. After spending over two hours trying to clear the white death from my driveway, I could feel everything starting to tighten up a few hours before start. Felt pretty good until the last 6 frames, and it really started to grind on me. First game had three opens (2-4-8-10, 2-4-8-10, whiffed a 10 pin). Could have been worse, as I picked up a 6-7-10. Clean second game. Game three could have been clean, but completely whiffed a 7 pin. Going to give the Nano it's first re-surface, and see if it behaves better in the first game.
