Decent night. 201/223/208--632. Lanes 3-4 did not behave as expected tonight. Ran with the Nano until 2 frame of last game, then switched to the Fight. Had a few issues with hitting my mark with the Fight, but if I did, look out. Every high flush drove 10 straight back. The ball is simply a truck. Better news, the re-drill of both balls netted NO tearing of my finger. Need a little bit more bevel on the thumb hole, but that's an easy fix.

Craptacular night. 197/243/135 (yep, I said it)=575. First game wasn't terrible, but missed two spares and couldn't string. Second game was great, but a big split right in the middle did me in. Last game was a nightmare. Could not keep the ball on the right side of the lane, and I didn't have the Jab with. Once again, this house can't do the basics to keep a house shot maintained. If the temp outside spikes to 70° all day, you might want to turn the air on. The oil vaporized in the last game. Three people on my pair gave up and started throwing their spare balls. My 135 game was not at all the lowest game out there. It's sad, because this is the house I spent much of my adult life bowling at. Let's face it, it's a house shot league, and people expect consistency. I will fully admit to shi**ing the bed in the last game. It would still be nice to know what you're walking into week to week. If you want it to be a challenge league, then call it that.

Did it again.....
219/141/247--607. Had four pocket 7-10 splits in the second game, and on top of that, missed 2 easy spares. Started with the Fight, and should have balled up 2 frames into the second game. I will not even post the PinPal stats.

159/163/205 for 527. No one or thing to blame but myself. Couldn't place the ball or pick up spares. 11 opens by the start of the third game. Scary thing is, my timing was really good all night. Maybe I should stay off balance more.......
