Finally bowled well in league

[jab5325]

Tonite was our last night that counts. Next week is blind-doubles and championship roll-offs. I pounded the pocket harder than last week and have nothing to show for it. I had two opens on splits the first game, including the pocket 7-10 in the tenth. Clean game the 2nd game and only shoot 208 with nothing lower than a 9 count. One double and 6 ten pins. Clean in game three until the 9th with a split, struck out the tenth to shoot 599 for series.
I missed the pocket 5 times all night and three were for splits. Game two was a no-tap 300. I had the second highest series on our pair. Tops was 624. Place has been really tough the last two weeks. I've thrown almost every ball I own and just can't carry the 10 pin. BUT! I picked up every single one. I made all my spares tonite. 594 last week, 599 this week and I'm in the pocket consistently. I'll get em next year I guess.

Amen, foreverincamo!

All in all, not bad shooting though.

At least you didn't need a 4-bagger to get into the 180s like I did at states.

If all else fails buy a new ball. Thats my motto lol.

I'm cashing in my change to get another ball drilled. Then I'm taking the $$ from league and buying a nice ball spinner.

That is one thing ive always wanted is a ball spinner. Were are you getting it from? How much do they cost?

[foreverincamo]

Check out www.vertexbowling.com. They have a 1/2 horsepower spinner for the cost of others that are are 1/3 or 1/4 HP. Little over $200

Thanks for the thread.

I have one of the 1/3 hp Vertex ball spinners and it has paid for itself
with what I have saved on the pro shop ball spinner charges and what
I've made with it doing other bowlers ball refinishing and cleaning and
polishing.

Even though it is only the 1/3 hp model I've never been able to make
it bog down no matter how much pressure I put on it all it does is it
keeps on going like normal.

Maybe added a few dollars to the spinner fund tonite. After two weeks of killing the pocket and getting next to nothing, I broke thru with a 703 and 762 with handicap. We did blind-doubles tonite so they will draw names tonite and let us know next week at the banquet. Hopefully get paired with someone who did well.

I'm sure a 1/3 HP motor is good enough, but if I can get a 1/2 HP for the same price, I'm going with it. I just have too many balls and too much money invested to not take care of the surface of said equipment. Add some $$ for pads and polishes, and it's all good.

And that 703 was with two splits in each game ! Two pocket 7-10's in game one, two 2-10's in game two after a bad ball change. 2-10, 3-10 in game three. Strikes or nothing tonite.
