Timmyb's Scores

[Timmyb]

That's a pretty good night back and hopefully without any aggravation of the injuries, you might not find out until the morning.

I'm finding that out right now.....

Second week after the sprain. Hurt more this week. Dunno why.

167/209/232=608

First game was a nightmare. The shot that everyone had in practice was gone by the start of bowling. Everyone had problems. I couldn't find a line until the 8th, and by then it was time to start moving back, because the backend came back in a hurry. I was not by far the worst bowler in the first game. After that, smoothed out and started smashing them. Still making just too damn many mistakes. Could've had 6 straight in the second game, but let the 4th shot come off my hand and into the ditch. If I had just thrown the first ball as well as the spare shot (crushed it), who knows where that game would've gone. Last game was pretty good, but still had one open. I can't wait until Saturday to start working on a few things.

202/184/220--606. Seemed to be mired in the low 6's. Didn't help that the brain surgeon kid effed up oiling the lanes again. This time, he says he couldn't find the cleaner concentrate to mix up for the oiler, so he just put water in. Yeah, you guessed it. Threw the first shot between 1-2 arrow, and it stayed there. Basically had to aim the ball into the pocket. Started to come back in the third game, but still couldn't get much finish. Highest series I saw bowled all night was a 662. We've been told we most likely won't see this kid back. This was strike three.

Cannot wait to get the Fight out next week. There was one guy bowling with one tonight, and he said even with the crap lane conditions, he liked the finish!

[Blomer]

Let us know how the Fight works for you. Looking at getting one.

[Timmyb]

Having it drilled on their layout three. Should pop pretty good, unless OPEC comes in to do the oiling.

Open bowling today to try out the new Storm Fight. 180/255/237--672. The ball didn't fit the conditions (too oily), but I stuck with it just to see what it would do. Pretty sure the scores back up that decision!

Seems like you or the ball adapted to the oil.
Maybe having some extra oil isn't the worst thing when breaking in a new ball.

I'm not a proponent of ball switcheroo in the first place, so I might be a little better at adapting. I would've been better off with the Nano, but I wanted to see what it would do.

[Blomer]

Nice series. I gotta get this ball.

Eesh, rough night. 222/153/221--596. Changed our oil pattern again. I usually start with the Nano, but it read too damn fast, so out came the Fight. Was hitting like a truck, but it burned out early in the second game, and I didn't catch it. I actually balled back up to the Nano, moved 5 left, and let 'er rip. Had a great last game going, and blew it in the tenth getting one out too far. Seven opens during the night has got to end. I used to be a better spare shooter than this.
